•

amount:

This sets the amount of the shift timing. The maximum value varies depending on the Note
Value settings. For example, if the Note Value is set at 1/16, the maximum amount is 12
which corresponds to half of the time correction value (24 ticks).

•

Time:

This sets the data range of the recorded data when the timing is corrected. The timing of
any data not specified within this range will not be corrected. For the Drum Track, select the
drum by tapping a drum pad.

•

Notes:

For MIDI tracks, this sets the note range of the recorded data when the timing is corrected.
The timing of notes not specified within this range will not be corrected. In the case of drum
tracks, make selection by tapping the pads.
