MOVE CLOCK - Pressing [F2] ( Move ) accesses Move
Clock, which lets you move the specified measures of
the track forward or backward in time by a specified
clock value.
SELECT TRACKS (1 ~ 16) - Press the TRACK
buttons of the tracks whose clock you wish to move.
MEASURES (001 ~ 999) - Specify the first (left
field) and last (right field) measures in the range of
measures whose clock you wish to move.
CLOCK (-999 ~ +999) - Specify the number of
clocks (units of 1/96th of a quarter note) by which
the track is to be moved. Positive settings will move
the track forward in time so that it plays later.
Negative settings will move the track backward in
time so that it plays earlier. It is often effective to use
clock move to compensate for voices that have a
slow attack. For example strings often have a slower
attack than other voices, and will appear to be
lagging behind the other voices even if the note on
messages are actually simultaneous. In such cases
you can use the Move Clock operation to move the
strings track earlier in time so that the string voices
begin playing slightly before the other voices to
improve perceived timing.
MOVE WITH TEMPO TRACK (yes, no) - When
set to yes , the tempo will be affected by the Move
Clock value. When set to no , tempo will not be
affected.
EXECUTE - To execute the operation press ENTER.
MODIFY GATE TIME - Pressing [F3] ( Gate ) accesses
Modify Gate Time, which lets you modify the durations
(gate times) of all notes in a specified range of measures
of the selected track.
SELECT TRACKS (1 ~ 16) - Press the TRACK
buttons of the tracks whose gate time you wish to
modify.
MEASURES (001 ~ 999) - Specify the first (left
field) and last (right field) measures in the range of
measures whose gate time you wish to modify.
RATE (1% ~ 200%) - The specified percentage is
the multiplication factor of all gate times. A rate of
100% will result in no change. A rate of 200% will
make all gate times twice as long.
OFFSET (-99 ~ +99) - The specified offset will be
added to all gate times.
NOTE: The rate and offset settings can be used
separately or together. First the value is multiplied by
the rate, and then the offset is added. If you want only to
multiply each gate time by the same percentage, then set
offset to 0 so it will have no effect. If you want only to
add an absolute value to each gate time, set the rate to
100% so that it will have no effect. If the resulting gate
time is 0, the note may be inaudible.
EXECUTE - To execute the operation press ENTER.
NOTE: Gate times can be modified by a ratio or by an
absolute value. Each note event in a track has a gate
time which determines the duration of the note. The gate
time is indicated in units of a l/384th note (l/96th of a
quarter note), The modify gate time operation will not
increase or decrease the gate time beyond these values.
