Song Mode and the Song Editor
Song Editor: The STEP Page
12-63
Modifier
The Modifier parameter allows you to change the Duration value with three standard modifiers.
Set to None if you do not chose to use a modifier.
Use the triplet modifier for a resulting duration 2/3 of the value set in the Duration parameter.
(For example, an eighth note = 240 ticks, an eighth note triplet = 160 ticks.)
A Dotted modifier adds half of the current Duration value to that duration, and a DotDot
modifier will add 3/4 of the current Duration value to itself. (For example, 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 Modifier),
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 first (overlapping) note will also cut off the second note (when it is identical).
Double-press the Plus/Minus buttons to increment this value in 20% intervals.
Velocity
Each note event entered in 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 Modifier 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 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> moves the current location of the song backward and forward in time, as
reflected in the Locate Bar, Beat, and Tick. How far the location is changed from its current
setting is determined by the Duration and Modifier settings.
