Editing Tool Description
Knob 3 (VELOCITY) Adjusts the velocity of the selected events. If the events have different
velocities, the velocities differences are retained as long as the limits
(0 and 127) are not reached. When only one event is selected, its
velocity is shown under VELOCITY. If several events are selected, the
field shows (MULTI).
Knob 4 (LENGTH) Moves the end of the selected events according to the Step Grid (the
offset of each events' end relative to the Step Grid is preserved). Hold
SHIFT while you turn the knob to temporarily override the Step Grid
quantization and adjust the lengths in extremely small increments. If
the events have different lengths, the length differences are retained
as long as no event becomes shorter than one step.
When only one event is selected, its length is shown under LENGTH. If
several events are selected, the field shows (MULTI).
Quick Edit Shortcuts for the Selected Steps
You can also quickly adjust the velocity, pitch, and position of any events via the Quick Edit
shortcuts:
1. Press and hold the pad(s) of the step(s) you want to edit.
2. To adjust the events’ velocity, press the VOLUME (Velocity) button and turn the 4-D en-
coder.
The adjusted value appears on the left display.
3. To finely adjust the events’ position, SWING (Position) button and turn the 4-D encoder.
The adjusted value appears on the left display.
4. To adjust the events’ pitch, press TEMPO (Tune) button and turn the 4-D encoder.
The adjusted value appears on the left display.
5. When you are done, release the pad(s).
The event position will be adjusted independently of the current Step Grid: It is de-
signed as a fine adjustment within the current step.
