XL-7 / MP-7 Operation Manual Addendum

 

Note Range Option

 

You can now specify a note range when performing the following Song or 
Pattern editing functions: Scale/Shift Duration, Thin Events, Transpose and 
Scale/Shift Velocity. This gives you much more control over which notes 
are edited. See the “Set/Shift Duration” function below for a detailed 
description.

 

Scale/Shift
Duration

 

This filter allows you to either scale (multiply by a value) or shift (add a 
value to) the note durations in the selected tracks. The Scale function is 
performed before the Shift value is added.

 

Scale

 

 -  Multiplies all note durations by a percentage from 0% to 125%. 

Scaling by 100% would leave all note durations untouched. 
Scaling by 50% would cut all note durations in half.

 

Shift

 

 -  Adds or subtracts a specific note duration in quarter notes and 

ticks

 

to note-on events in the selected tracks.

 

  

 

To Scale or Shift Note Duration:

 

1.

 

Select the pattern

 

 you wish to edit.

 

2.

 

Select the 

 

Track(s)

 

 you wish to Scale or Shift using the Track Enable/

Tip:

 

 To set all notes to a 

particular value, set Scale to 0%, 
(this zeros the value) then set 
Shift to the desired duration.

amount of note duration scaling or shift (offset)

 

. The 

Home/Enter LED will be flashing once the cursor is moved to the lower 
line of the display.

 

6.

 

Press 

 

Enter.

setting is all keys.
