Editing 16-track songs

Editing one or several tracks (TRACK EDIT)

The “TRACK EDIT” environment of the 16-track

sequencer provides 12 functions that allow you to edit

entire tracks or short passages of the selected track:

Quantize, Erase, Delete, Copy, Insert, Transpose, Change

Velo, Change Gate Time, Merge, Global Change, Shift

Clock and Track XChange.

Note: There is also a MICRO EDIT environment that allows you

to add, delete or change individual events. See page 123 for

details.

Here is some information that may help you decide

whether to use a “TRACK EDIT” or the “MICRO EDIT”

function:

• If you don’t need to see the events you want to

change, choose a “TRACK EDIT” function.

• If the “TRACK EDIT” level does not provide the func-

tion you need or if you want to see the notes, MIDI

messages, etc., choose the “MICRO EDIT” environ-

ment.

Here is how to select functions:

(1) If necessary, select the SMF song you wish to edit

(see p. 23 and following).

(2) Select the 16-track sequencer page.

See page 109.

(3) If you have already made some changes, save your

song before continuing by pressing the [SAVE] dis-

play button.

That way, you can always return to the original if

your changes do not work out as expected. See

page 130 for details.

(4) Press the [TRACK¥EDIT] display button in the right

column of the display.
