Song Mode
Edit Song: Track Functions – Thin
12-40
Mode: Constant / PosRamp / NegRamp
Set Mode to Constant to have values modiÞed in a uniform fashion, as determined by the Scale
and Offset settings, for the entire selected region of time and range of values.
When the Change function is applied with Mode set to Positive Ramp, the selected velocity or
controller values will gradually change over the region of time, deÞned by the locations set for
the From and To parameters, from the original value to the new value determined by the Scale
and Offset settings. The Þrst events being modiÞed within the region will have little or no
change from their original values. The amount of Scale and Offset applied will increase as the
Song approaches the Bar and Beat deÞned in the To parameter, where the full amount of
described change will occur.
You can set Mode to Negative Ramp to achieve the opposite dynamic effect of Positive Ramp.
Negative Ramp works in the same way, but the amount of Scale and Offset applied will
decrease from the full amount of change described by Scale and Offset to little or no change as
the Song approaches the Bar and Beat deÞned in the To parameter.
Edit Song: Track Functions – Thin
Use the Thin function to reduce the number of actual controller events used for any controller
type on the current track. Sometimes a controller can produce the same noticeable effect by
using fewer events to describe its change, which in turn will save memory and possibly prevent
timing delays caused by an over abundance of MIDI data.

Percent: 0% Ð 100%(defaults as 50%)
The Percent value determines how much effect the Thin function will have on a stream of
controller data. With this value set to 0%, there will not be any reduction of data when Thin is
applied. Set Percent to 100% to eliminate most of the speciÞed controllerÕs events from the
current track. Even at 100%, certain controller messages will not be eliminated; these include all
pitch bend messages with a value of 0 and the initial settings of some controllers, such as
volume, pan, etc.
