NOTE
This function provides no “To” pointer. Instead, you need to
specify the length of the insert using the “For” values.
Parameter Value Explanation
Track
Adrm–Acc6,
ALL
Allows you to select the track you
wish to edit. You can also select
“ALL” here, in which case the opera-
tion applies to all tracks.
Mode
Major, Minor,
7th
Allows you to select the Mode to be
edited.
Division
Intro 1–4, Main
1–4, Fill 1–4,
End 1–4
Use this parameter to select the
Division you want to edit.

Specify the parameters, and press the [Exec] (F5) button to execute
the operation.
NOTE
5 If you want to save the modied data, save the style (p. 42).
5 If you want to return to the state prior to editing, execute the
UNDO operation (p. 42).
Transposition
This function allows you to transpose the notes of the selected track
(non-note data obviously cannot be transposed).

Value -127–127
This is where you set the transpo-
sition interval in semi-tone steps.
Select “2,” for example, to transpose
a pattern in “C” to “ D.” Be careful
when applying “Transposition” to
the AccDrums track. Transposing all
notes of this track leads to dramatic
changes.
From Note 0 C- –127 G9
This parameter allows you to set
the note (or lower limit of the note
range) to be modied within the
specied “From”/“To” time range.
To Note 0 C- –127 G9
This parameter allows you to set
the upper limit of the note range
to be modied within the specied
“From”/ “To” time range.
Specify the parameters, and press the [Exec] (F5) button to execute
the operation.
NOTE
5 If you want to save the modied data, save the style (p. 42).
5 If you want to return to the state prior to editing, execute the
UNDO operation (p. 42).
Change Velocity
The “Change Veloc” function allows you to modify the dynamics
(called “velocity”) of a track or excerpt. Only note events can be
changed.

Bias* –99–99
Allows you to specify by how much
the velocity values should change.
Select a positive value to increase
the velocity (the value is added to
the velocity value of the aect-
ed notes) or a negative value to
decrease the velocity values (that
value is subtracted). Select “0” if you
prefer to work with the “Magnify”
parameter (see below).
Magnify** 0–200%
This parameter works like a “Com-
pander” eect (a dynamics pro-
cessor that simultaneously acts as
compressor and expander), although
it processes MIDI data: by selecting
a value above “100%” you increase
the dierences between high and
low velocity values in the selected
range. Values below “64” are low-
ered, while values above “64” are
increased. The result is therefore that
the dierence between pianissimo
and fortissimo becomes far more
pronounced.
From Note/
To Note
0 C- –127 G9
“From Note” refers to the lower
limit of the note range you want to
change. “To Note” represents the
upper limit.
[*] Even the highest positive or negative value doesn’t allow you to
go beyond “1” or “127.” There is a reason why “0” is impossible: that
value is used to indicate the end of a note (note-o).
“127,” on the other hand, is the highest velocity value the MIDI
standard can muster. Adding a high positive velocity value may thus
lead to all notes being played at “127.”
[
**] “Magnify” values below “100%” have the opposite eect: they
push all velocity towards the imaginary center of “64,” thus reducing
dierences in playing dynamics.
Specify the parameters, and press the [Exec] (F5) button to execute
the operation.
NOTE
5 If you want to save the modied data, save the style (p. 42).
5 If you want to return to the state prior to editing, execute the
UNDO operation (p. 42).
Change Gate Time
This function allows you to modify the duration of the notes in the
selected time (“From”/“To”) and note (“From Note”/“To Note”)
ranges. We recommend you only use this function to shorten notes
that suddenly seem too long when you assign a dierent sound to
the track in question. You cannot view the duration of the notes here,
which makes editing the data “en bloc” a little bit hazardous. See
“Editing Individual Style Events (Micro Edit)” (p. 47) for how to
change the duration of individual notes.
After selecting a sound with a slow release (i.e. a sound that lingers
on after all notes have been released), however, “Change Gate
Time” will help you cut the notes down to size and thus avoid
undesirable overlaps.
