Transpose & Clock Shift
Since the Clock Shift
parameters shift the
timing of all notes and
other events in the specified track
forward or backward, they can sig-
nificantly alter the “feel” of the
song. You could move the notes
forward (“+” settings) to create a
more “laid back” feel, or back-
ward (“–” settings) to produce a
more “driving” feel. Of course,
you can also use Clock Shift to
correct timing that is off in the first
place.
The “Trans” controls in this display transpose all notes in the corresponding
tracks up or down in semitone increments. The “Shift” faders move all notes
and events in the corresponding tracks forward or backward by the specified
number of clocks (96 clocks per 1/4 note).
The rotary “Trans” controls set the amount of transposition for the correspond-
ing tracks. The transpose range is from “-99” (full left) through “+00” (center
position) to “+99” (full right), with each increment corresponding to a semi-
tone. The current numeric transpose setting for the selected track appears in
the upper right-hand comer of the display.
The faders set the amount of clock shift for the corresponding tracks. Posi-
tion the cursor at a fader, then use any data entry method to set the clock shift as
required. The graphic fader will move to the corresponding position — above
center for positive clock shift and below center for negative clock shift. The
current clock shift setting will appear in the upper right comer of the display —
the numeric range is from “-999” through “0” to “+999”. Hold the
[SHIFT]
key
while setting a fader to change the settings of all faders by the same amount.
