note resolutions, for example), but alters the unique
rhythmic feel of the original performance. Therefore,
quantization should be used only when it is musically
appropriate.
You can either quantize the incoming data as you record or
quantize the data as an editing operation after the recording
is made. ( cr p,42, "Manual II for the sequencer")
Quantization can be applied not only to key-on timing, but
also to key-off and gate time as well,
O Quantize Key-Off
This corrects the timing of note oft messages (the gate
time will also change). By quantizing the timing of note
off messages, you can emphasize the beats in a
measure (crp.84, “Manual II for the sequencer”).
O Quantize Gate Time
This corrects the gate time (the note off location will
change). For example, if you quantize gate times to
8th note resolution, note lengths will be adjusted to
eighth notes, quarter notes, half notes and whole
notes (o-P.84, “Manual II for the sequencer”).
О Recording from the SBX-1000
Events can be recorded in both the cue sheet and
sequencer. The message ''Cont.Chg(C.Chg)" is
displayed on the screen. The value for Input On is 127
and Off Is 0, when controlling On/Off operation.
■ Sequencer
A sequencer is a device for automatic recording and
playback of musical performances. In modern electronic
music applications, MIDI data is normally used as signals
for controlling the performance of connected musical
instruments.
Unlike a tape recorder, which records the actual sound of
an instrument, a sequencer digitally records performance
data such as “which key was pressed, how strongly, and
held for how long." Music production with a sequencer
allows you to hear the results as you proceed, unlike when
using pencil and paper to compose. It also allows you to
modify the pitch, rhythm, and song structure in complex
ways, so as to create music that might be difficult or
impossible to realize using a tape recorder.
I Clock
A clock is unit of time equal to l/96th of a quarter note, and
is the smallest unit used by the SBX-1000. For example, an
8th note is equal to 48 clocks and a 16th note is equal to 24
clocks.
I Control Change Data 1Ш1
This is a type of MIDI message that contains data for
various types of performance expression. The frequently
used control numbers are shown in the chart below.
Control
Number
Name Function
0 Bank select
For switching among banks for program change for
GS sound source
1 Modulation depth For applying modulation by moving the lever or wheel
7 Volume For changing the volume
10 Pan For changing the pan position
11 Expression Changes as expression pedal Is moved
64 Hold 1 Changes as hold pedal is pressed down
91 Effect 1 depth Revert) depth for GS sound source
93 Effect 3 depth ChofTJS depth tor GS sound source
■ Disk With System
This type of disk can be used for starting or “booting up" the
SBX-1000 since it contains the system program of the
SBX-1000.
To make this kind of disk, format it using the “Disk Format
with System” operation in the DISK - Utility section. If you
want to load the system program to a disk that does not
contain the system program, but you wish to save the data
that already exists on the disk, save the system program by
using the “Save System” operation in the DISK - Utility
section.
Make sure that the disk has enough available memory
space to store the system program.
■ Disk Without System
This type of disk does not contain the system program of
the SBX-1000. The SBX-1000 cannot be started with this
disk, but the capacity for data storage is greater.
To make this kind of disk, format it by using the “Disk
Format" operation in the DISK—Utility section.
