Zoom
Zoom view offers editing of an additional 6 sub steps per 16th note and a single Channel in a Preset
at a time. These additional 6 substeps are 24 PPQ (4 PPQ 16th note * 6 substeps) resolution and
allow for the entry of intervals other than 16ths like triplets and dotted notes. This is a chart of some
common values and the number of substeps per note:
4th Note: 24
8th dotted 18
4th Triplet 16
8th Note 12
16th Dotted 9
8th Triplet 8
16th Note 6
16th Triplet 4
32nd 3
32nd Triplet 2
64th Triplet 1
The far left column is the 16th note step from the other views with step 1 at the top and step 8 at the
bottom just like Vertical View. The five sub steps are in the next columns.
As an example: to enter 8th note triplets place the first triplet on either step 1 or 5 in the left column,
then count 8 steps and place the next note there, and count another 8 to place the third note of the
triplet.
Column 7 selects the Preset in the current Group and column 8 the channel being edited. The far
right column is control 4 which changes the view as in the other views.
Each substep can also be offset by one internal tick by holding the sub step and turning the swing
pot. Sub steps with offsets illuminate red instead of green. To remove the offset hold the step and
turn the swing completely counter clockwise.
The resolution of the offset delay is based on the quantized resolution of the internal CR clock (96
PPQ) thus varies in length based on the tempo. At 120 BPM the granularity is about 5ms and 60
BPM the number is just over 10ms.
