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 (playback start/end point)
This parameter determines the playback start point and end
point of the phrase in millisecond 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 (Beat)
This parameter specifies the number of beats per measure in
the imported phrase. In combination with the MEAS X
parameter, this determines the phrase length. The setting
range is 1 (1/4) to 8 (8/4).
H INT
If you do not wish to match the phrase to the rhythm section
tempo, adjusting the MEAS X and TIMSIG parameters 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.
