Tip: Note variation data, which is used for the Q-LINK sliders or [16 LEVELS] function, is the information used to control

the sound of a pad, and is saved in the track along with the pad event. With the note variation data, you can switch the

sounds of the pad even when you are playing back the same pad.

'Note variation value' field

In this field, displayed to the right of the 'Note Variation' field, you can set the note variation value.

'D (duration)' field

Here, you can set the duration of notes and pad events. This parameter determines how long the pad or MIDI note is held. The value

is displayed in MIDI Ticks.

'V (velocity)' field

Here, you can set the velocity of a pad. Velocity is a measure of how hard the pad was hit. The velocity is shown in 127 steps, with

127 the maximum. This can be used to play sounds softer, louder, or control the filter cutoff etc. For more information on velocity, see

'Note Number, Velocity, and Length' on page 15.

 Note Event

This is a MIDI note event.

'N (Note number)' field

You can set the note number in this field. A note number indicates the location on a keyboard as a numbers, with the middle C of the

piano as note number 60.

'D (duration)' field

You can specify how long a note is held (length of a note). In the MIDI standard, pressing a key is called 'Note on', releasing a key is

called 'Note off'. In this field, you will set the time from Note on to Note off.
