Moving data within a part
(Move Data)
By executing the Move Data operation you can move the loca-
tion of the pattern and motion sequence data for the selected
part (Shift Data), or transpose the notes of the entire part (Shift
Note).
Shift Data –16...16
Use this when you want to change the starting location of a
pattern.
1. If the pattern is playing, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop
playback.
2. Hold down the Shift key and press step key 5 (Move Data).
(Key 5 will blink.)
3. All part keys and the effect/delay motion sequence key will
blink. If you do not want to shift the data of a specific part
or of the motion sequence, press that key to make it go dark.
You will be able to audition the sound each time you press a
part key.
4. A number will blink in the display. Rotate the dial to select
the number of steps and the direction (positive or negative)
in which the data will be moved.
5. Press the blinking step key 5 to execute the Move Data op-
eration.
To cancel without executing, press the Stop/Cancel key.
The Shift Data operation applied to all steps of the selected
part. Data that is moved beyond the last step of the pattern
will "wrap around" to the first step. For example if 64-step
data is moved for "5" steps, the data that was in steps 60
through 64 will be moved to steps 1 through 5. Likewise, data
that is moved earlier than the first step of the pattern will "wrap
around"to the last step. For example if 48-step data is moved
for "–3 " steps, the data that was in steps 1 through 3 will be
moved to steps 46 through 48.
Shift Note –24...24
This function simultaneously shifts the note data of all steps
in the selected synth part.
1. If the pattern is playing, press the Stop/Cancel key to stop
playback.
2. Hold down the Shift key and press step key 5 (Move Data).
(Key 5 will blink.)
3. Turn on the Transpose key (the LED will blink).
4. Synth part keys 1 and 2 will blink. If you do not want to
shift the data of a specific part, press that key to make it go
dark. (The part will sound at C4.)
5. A number will blink in the display. Rotate the dial to select
the amount of pitch shift. +/–1 transposes the pitch by a
semitone, +/–2 by a whole tone, +/–7 by a fifth, and +/–12 by
one octave.
6. Press the blinking step key 5 to execute the Move Data op-
eration.
To cancel without executing, press the Stop/Cancel key.
