• To shift all notes or polyphonic aftertouch data, set “Range Min”

to “C -1” and “Range Max” to “G9.” To shift C4, set “Range
Min” and “Range Max” to “C4.” To shift C3 through C4, set
“Range Min” to “C3” and “Range Max” to “C4.”

• To shift all controller numbers, set “Range Min” to “0” and

“Range Max” to “127.” To shift all program numbers, set “Range
Min” to “1” and “Range Max” to “128.” To shift number 4, set
“Range Min” and “Range Max” to “4.” To shift numbers 3
through 14, set “Range Min” to “3” and “Range Max” to “14.”

MIDI Channel

Selects the MIDI channel of the data to be shifted in time.

To shift clocks of all sequencer data, set this parameter to ALL. To
shift the sequencer data clock of just one specific MIDI channel,
select that MIDI channel.

Value: ALL, 1–16

If you set the Track parameter to “TEMPO,” or if the Status
parameter is set to “EXC,” “TUNE” or “PTN,” the Channel
parameter will not be available.

Thinning Out the Sequencer Data

(Data Thin)

Continuously variable controllers such as aftertouch, pitch bend, and
expression tend to create unexpectedly large amounts of data when
operated. Data Thin will strip out redundant data to increase the
amount of memory available for the sequencer.

For details on the settings, refer to “Basic Operation for Track
Editing”
(p. 151)

Track / Pattern (Source Track)

Specifies the track(s) or pattern whose sequencer data will be thinned.

Value

ALL: Phrase tracks 1–16, the beat track, and the tempo track

TRK 1–TRK 16:

The specified phrase track

PTN001–PTN100: The specified pattern

Measure, For (Edit Range)

Specifies the range of measures whose sequencer data will be
thinned. If you set “For” to “ALL,” all measures will be specified.

Data Thin Value

For thinning data which incorporates rapid changes, use higher
settings. If you don’t want to thin that much data even though it is
subject to rapid change, use lower settings.

Data Thin Time

If you are thinning data that changes gradually over time, use higher
settings. If you don’t want to thin that much data even though the
changes are gradual, use lower settings.

Status

Selects the type of data to be thinned.

Value

ALL:

All following sequencer data types

P.AFT: Polyphonic Aftertouch

C.C:

Controller numbers

C.AFT: Channel Aftertouch

BEND: Pitch Bend

Range Min, Range Max

If you set the Status parameter to “P.AFT” or “C.C,” specify the
range of data. Set “Range Min” to the lowest value of the range, and
“Range Max” to the highest value of the range.

• To thin out all polyphonic aftertouch data, set “Range Min” to

“C -1” and “Range Max” to “G9.” To thin out C4, set “Range
Min” and “Range Max” to “C4.” To thin out C3 through C4, set
“Range Min” to “C3” and “Range Max” to “C4.”

• To thin out all controller numbers, set “Range Min” to “0” and

“Range Max” to “127.” To thin out number 4, set “Range Min”
and “Range Max” to “4.” To thin out numbers 3 through 14, set
“Range Min” to “3” and “Range Max” to “14.”

MIDI Channel

Selects MIDI channel of the data to be thinned.

To thin all sequencer data, set this parameter to ALL. To thin
sequencer data of just one specific MIDI channel, select that MIDI
channel.

Value: ALL, 1–16

Swapping Two Phrase Tracks or

Patterns (Exchange)

The phrase tracks or patterns will be exchanged in their entirety.

Value

TRK 1–TRK 16:

The specified phrase track

PTN001–PTN100: The specified pattern
