SincetheseparametersarecommontomostTrackfunctions,wewilldefinethemfirst.Then
we’lldescribetheindividualfunctionsalongwiththeparam etersspecifictoeach,whichare
normallyfoundontheleftsideofthepage.ThefunctionQuantizehasuniqueparameter inits
Region/Criteriaboxes.We’lldescribethose
parametersalongwiththefunctions.
Onceyou’vechosenafunctionandsettheparameterstoyourliking,pressGo.Thisexecutesthe
editingfunction.Youcanthenplaythesequencetoheartheresultsofyouredit.Ifyoudon’tlike
youredit,simplyexittheeditorandpressNo
whenyouareaskedifyouwanttosave.Ifyoudo
likeyouredit,youcanpressDoneandthenSave,orjustexittheeditorandsavethechanges.
Or,youcangotoanothereditfunction.Keepinmindthough,thatifyouchoosetoperform
more
thanoneeditwithoutsaving,andyouarenotsatisfiedwithoneofthechangesyoumake,
youwillhavetoexittheeditorwithoutsavingandthenredoeachofthechangesyoumade.
That’swhyit’susuallybesttosaveaftereachsuccessfuledit.
Common Parameters for Edit Song: Track Functions
Locate
ThisparameterisavailableforeveryfunctionontheTRACKpage.Itappearsatthelowerleft
handcornerofthepage.
TheLocatebar,beat,andtickwillchangeinrealtimeduringplaybackandrecordingtoreflect
thesong’scurrentposition.Itcanbesettoanybar,beat,
andtick,includingnegativevalues.
Playbackbeginsat,andStopresetsthesongtotheLocatebar,beat,andtick.
Region/Criteria Box Parameters
From and To
FromandToareavailableinmostTRACKeditfunctionstodefinearangeoftimeonthe
selectedtrack(s).
TheFromvaluedefinesthefirstbar,beat,andtickinarangeoftimeselectedforediting.TheTo
valuedefinesthefinalbar,beat,andtickinarange
oftimeselectedforediting.
Events
AnyandalltypesofMIDIeventsareavailableforediting,selectableinthisparameter.Some
eventswillprovideyouwithsettingsforarangeofvalues,orotherMIDIeventspecificcriteria.
AvailableValuesare:All,Notes,Controllers,MonoPress,PitchBend,ProgChange,PolyPress.
WhenEventsis
settoALL,allMIDIeventsonthetrack(s)youareediting,thatoccurinthe
regionoftimebetweentheFromandTosettings,willbeaffectedbytheeditfunction.
WhenEventsissettoNotes,notenumberandvelocityrangescanbesetforNoteevents.
LoKey

MIDInotevalue;thedefaultisC‐1.
High Key (Hi)
