12-45
A Dotted modiÞer adds half of the current Duration value to that duration, and a DotDot
modiÞer will add 3/4 of the current Duration value to itself. (e.g., an eight note = 240 ticks, a
dotted eighth note = 360 ticks, and a double dotted eighth note = 420 ticks).
GateTime
GateTime determines the percentage of the note duration, (set with the Duration and ModiÞer),
that is actually played. The value given for the GateTime parameter does not affect the size of
the jump from one Step to another, but only the length of time that the note(s) entered for each
Step are sustained. You can use a value greater than 100 for a legato feel, but keep in mind that
when two identical notes overlap you may get unexpected results. This is because the Note Off
command from the Þrst (overlapping) note will also cut off the second note (when it is
identical).
Double-press the - and + buttons to increment this value in 20% intervals.
Velocity
Each note event entered in the Step edit mode is assigned an attack velocity either by setting
the Velocity parameter to a value between 1 and 127, or by setting the value to Played, where
the velocity at which you actually enter notes is used for each Step.
Locate
The Bar, Beat and Tick displayed as the Locate value is the location where the next Step entry
will placed in the Song, and once the Step is entered, Locate will advance an amount of time
determined by the Duration and ModiÞer settings. The Bar and Beat, but not the Tick, will
update during playback. It can be set to any Bar and Beat, including negative values, so that
playback begins at, and Stop resets the Song to the Locate Bar and Beat. If the Bar and Beat
value is set beyond the current End point, and no notes are entered before you press Play, then
that location will be ignored when you begin playback and the Song will start from Bar 1 : Beat
1. If set to a negative Bar and Beat, no Step entry is possible.
Soft Buttons on the Edit Song: STEP Page
Play starts the playback of the Song from the Bar and Beat set in the Locate parameter. When
the Song is playing, this soft button becomes Pause.
Stop halts the playback of the Song and return to the Bar and Beat set as the Locate value.
<Back / Step> move the current location of the Song backward and forward in time, as
reßected in the Locate Bar, Beat, and Tick. How far the location is changed from its current
setting is determined by the Duration and ModiÞer settings.
Done returns to the EditSong : COMMON page when you are Þnished Step editing.
