Editing an INST type track
You can use a piano-roll graphic editor to perform editing operations such as Copy or Delete on the note
events recorded in an INST type track.
1. Select an INST type track in the main page, and press the [SEQ EDIT] key.
When you select an INST type track and press the [SEQ EDIT] key, the piano-roll graphic editor will appear.
A Track field: Selects the track that will be dis-
played in the graphic editor.
B Timing correct: Indicates the note value that
will be the minimum unit for timing correc-
tion. The setting of this field also determines
the resolution of the horizontal axis (time
ruler) of the graphic editor.
C Now field: Indicates the current location
within the sequence in measures/beats/ticks.
D Graphic editor: This area graphically dis-
plays the note events and continuously vari-
able events, and lets you select the range that
you want to edit.
E Time ruler: This indicates the time axis of the track. The markings on the ruler will be the smallest units
by which you can select a region.
F Note numbers: This area indicates the note numbers of the note events recorded in the track.
G Vertical marker: This indicates the current location. Use this to specify the editing region in the time
ruler.
H Horizontal marker: Use this to specify the range of note numbers that you want to edit.
I Note event: Note events recorded in the track are displayed as bars. The length (left to right) of the bar
indicates the duration of the note event.
J Field: Here you can select the type of MIDI event that will be displayed in the graphic editor.
2. To switch the range of notes shown in the graphic editor, move the cursor into the graphic editor
and press the CURSOR [
π
]/[
] keys repeatedly to scroll the piano-roll upward or downward.
3. Move the cursor to the Timing correct field, and specify the resolution of the time ruler.
Normally you should set the grid resolution to the smallest interval between the note events that you want
to edit.
4. Move the cursor to the measure, beat, or tick of the Now field, and move the vertical marker to
the beginning of the range that you want to edit.
If the cursor is located within the graphic editor, you can also use the CURSOR [
]/[
®
] keys or the [JOG]
dial to move the vertical marker.
5. Use the BLOCK CURSOR [
π
]/[
] keys to move the cursor into the graphic editor.
6. Select the note event that you want to edit.
To select a single note
Press the pad or MIDI key for the note event you want to edit. The horizontal marker will move to that note
number.
Hint: If the graphic editor does not show the piano-roll type display, change the View field to NOTE.
You can use the TRACK field to select a different track for editing at any time.
Hint: You can switch the displayed range of notes instantly by pressing the pad or note on your MIDI keyboard
that corresponds to the note number you want to see.
