Rhythm Track Edit functions

The “Track Edit” level of the Rhythm Composer provides

12 functions: Quantize, Erase, Delete, Copy, Insert, Key,

Change Velo, Change Gate Time, Global Change, Shift

Clock, Track Length and Time Signat. There is also a

“Micro Edit” environment that allows you to add, delete

or change individual events. See page 103 for details.

Return to the main Rhythm Composer page.

Press the [MENU] button (its indicator

flashes).

The display changes to:

Use the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select

“Track Edit”, then press the [ENTER/SELECT]

button.

The display changes to:

You can use the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial and [ENTER/

SELECT] button to edit the available functions.

■ Quantize

Use this function if you chose not to quantize your

music during recording and now realize that the tim-

ing is not quite what you expected it to be. If only

certain notes in a given time range need to be quan-

tized, you should narrow down the edit range using

the “From”/“To” parameters.

Parameter Setting Explanation

the track you wish to

select “ALL” here, in

which case the opera-

tion applies to all

tracks.

Allows you to select

the Mode to be edited.

default, the “From”

beats per bar]

tion. The number of

CPT position. “CPT” is

short for “Clock Pulse

Time”, the smallest unit

used by the BK-5 OR.

(There are 120 CPTs to

every beat of a 4/4

bar.) Change this set-

ting only if your edit

operation should start

after the selected beat.

tern]
