You can import any phrase contained in the phrase pool of
another project stored on the hard disk.

Adjusting phrase parameters
Once you have imported phrases into the phrase pool, you
should specify parameters such as playback range and
number of measures. The following parameters can be
adjusted for each phrase individually.
● START/END
This parameter determines the playback start point and end
point of the phrase in time units. In the default condition, the
parameter is set to the start and end of the imported data.
This parameter can be used for example to extract only a part
of a drum loop imported from CD-ROM.
● MEAS X (number of measures)
This parameter specifies to how many measures the range
between the START/END parameter values corresponds.
The parameter lets you compress or expand the playing
duration of the phrase to match the tempo setting of the
rhythm section. The setting range is 1 - 99 measures.
● TIMSIG(time signature)
This parameter specifies the time signature of the phrase.
A combination with the above MEAS X parameter deter-
mines the playing duration. The setting range is 1(1/4) - 8
(8/4).
H INT
If you do not wish to match the phrase to the rhythm section
tempo, adjusting this parameter is not necessary.
● NAME
This is the name assigned to the phrase.
● LVL (level)
This is the playback level of the phrase.
To adjust the above parameters, proceed as follows.
