Editing Songs

This function inserts blank measures into a specified song position.
As you can set the time signature of the blank measures, this is
convenient when inserting a phrase having a different time signature
in the middle of a song.

For details on the settings, refer to

Basic Operation for Track

Editing

(p. 133).

This transposes the pitch of notes within a specified area, over a +/-
127 semitone range. Use this function to modulate from one key to
another in a song, or to transpose the entire song.

If You Want to Lower the Bass Sound One
Octave...

If your bass is played one octave higher than the staff notation,
use the Transpose function to lower it one octave.

To lower the bass sound one octave, set the Range parameter to
“Lowest-Highest” for the bass part, and set the Bias parameter
to “-12.”

When You Want to Change Percussion
Sounds...

You can also use the Transpose function to change percussion
sounds.
Suppose you want to change conga to tom. If the conga sound is
assigned to the D4 key, and the tom sound is assigned to the C3
key, set the Range parameter to “D4–D4” and the Bias
parameter to “-14.”
