Editing patterns (Pattern Edit)
Pattern mode
This operation shifts the note numbers (pitch) of one or more parts in
the pattern. You can transpose the notes in a range of +/-2 octaves.
This operation modifies the velocity (strength) of the notes recorded
in the pattern.
* If this operation would result in a velocity greater than 127 (or less
than 1), the resulting velocity data will be limited to 127 (or 1).
This operation modifies the duration (the length that the note is
held) of the notes recorded in the pattern.
You can use DURATION to give the overall performance a staccato
feel or tenuto feel.
