Using the sequencer to create patterns (Pattern mode)

Pattern Mode

BIAS:

Adds or subtracts a certain gate time value to/from
the gate times in the specified region. For example, if
you set

BIAS

to “-30,” a gate time that was originally

90 will be changed to 60.

MAGNIFY:

Gate times in the specified region will be increased/
decreased by the specified percentage. A setting of
100% will produce no change. Settings higher than
100% will increase the differences, and settings
lower than 100% will decrease them. For example, if
you want gate time values to differ half as much as
originally, set this to 50%. If you want to double the
variance in gate time values, set this to 200%.

Select MODE and press [

] to display setting screens for each

parameter. Use VALUE [-]/[+] to set the value.

If you choose SET TO

Value:

1–384

If you choose BIAS

Value:

-99–+99

If you choose MAGNIFY

VALUE

Magnify:

0–200 [%]

Shifting pattern data forward and back

(PTN SHIFT CLK)

Using this operation, the timing of the music data in a pattern can be
shifted forward or backward in units of a single clock. Use this when
you wish to slightly shift the overall timing.

fig.r06-60d

When this function is executed, data that would be moved to a
point before the beginning of the pattern will automatically shift
to the beginning of the pattern.

Part

Specifies the part(s) whose timing you wish to shift.

If you choose “ALL,” all parts will be specified.

Value:

ALL, 1–16

You can also select the part by pressing [0]–[9] or by holding
down [SHIFT] and pressing [1]–[6].

Meas (Measure)

Sets the range of measures in which the music data will be moved in
units of one clock.

VALUE

Meas:

Specifies the measure at which shifting is to begin.

for:

Specifies the number of measures to be shifted. If you
select “ALL,” data from the measure you specified for

Meas

to the last measure of the pattern will be shifted.

Event

Specifies the type of music data to be shifted in time.

VALUE

ALL:

All music data

NOTE:

Note (C-1–G 9)

Specify the range of notes. You can also press keys
on the keyboard to specify the range.

P.AFT:

Polyphonic Aftertouch

C.C.:

Controller numbers (0–127)

PROG:

Program numbers (1–128)

C.After:

Channel Aftertouch

BEND:

Pitch Bend

SYS-EX:

System Exclusive

TUNE:

Tune Request

Bias

Specifies the amount (number of clocks) by which the music data
will be moved.

Value:

-99–+99

Thinning out unneeded data

(PTN DATA THIN)

Since events such as pitch bend or control change use continuously
changing values, they can occupy an unexpectedly large amount of
memory. The Ptn Data Thin operation lets you thin out such data in
a way that will not affect the audible result, yet will reduce the
amount of data.

fig.r06-60e

Part

Sets the part(s) whose data you wish to thin out.

If you choose “ALL,” all parts will be specified.

Value:

ALL, 1–16

You can also select the part by pressing [0]–[9] or by holding
down [SHIFT] and pressing [1]–[6].

Meas (Measure)

Specifies the range of measures in which data will be thinned.

VALUE

Meas:

Specifies the measure at which data thin is to begin.

for:

Specifies the number of measures to be thinned. If
you select “ALL,” data from the measure you
specified for

Meas

to the last measure of the pattern

will be thinned.

Event

Select the type of music data that you wish to thin.

VALUE

ALL:

All music data

P.AFT:

Polyphonic Aftertouch

C.C.:

Controller numbers (0–127)
