Chapter 3: Recording Sequences

maximum shift amount is 5 ticks, or slightly less than 1/2 of one

1/32 note; and if the Note Value field is set to OFF(1/384), the

Shift amount is fixed at 0, meaning that no shift is possible since

timing correction is not being used. If you wish to shift the timing

of a track independently of the timing correction function, use the

Shift Timing function, accessed by pressing the EDIT key.

COMMENT: If the Shift Timing function is set to shift notes early

and one or more notes exist at the start of the sequence, those

starting notes will be deleted when the <Move Existing>

operation is performed, because there is no space before the

start of the sequence for them to be moved to. To avoid this

problem, insert a blank bar before bar 1 of the sequence before

performing the shift operation, then be sure to include this extra

bar within the range of bars to be shifted. This way, the notes

that would have been lost will now be moved onto this newly

inserted bar.

• The Ticks fields:

These two fields are used to specify the region of the sequence that will

be altered when the <Move Existing> soft key is pressed. These are

bar.beat.tick fields—the region starts at the location entered in the

leftmost field and ends one tick before

the location entered in the

rightmost field.

• The Track field:

This field is only used in conjunction with the <Move Existing> soft key. It

is used to specify the track number that is to be altered. Entering a 0

indicates all tracks will be altered.

• The <Move Existing> soft key:

Normally, the timing correct function operates in real time, correcting

notes before they are recorded into the sequence. It is also possible to

correct the timing (or add swing or shift the timing) of an existing

sequence. Pressing this soft key will cause the region of the active

sequence specified by the Ticks and Track fields to be corrected

according to the settings of the Note value, Swing%, Shift timing and

Shift amount fields.

The Note Repeat Feature

Another very useful feature of the TIMING CORRECT key is the ability to

automatically repeat either drum or keyboard notes at a preset timing

interval. This is useful in creating:

• Drum rolls

• Repeating-note drum patterns, such as 1/16-note hi-hat patterns

• Repeating keyboard notes, such as a repeated 1/16-note bass part

The Note Repeat feature is used in real time while recording or playing.

To use this feature, press and hold TIMING CORRECT while in Play,
