Track Length
This function allows you to modify the length (num-
ber of bars, beats and clocks) of a pattern after
recording. Data that lie outside the range you
decided to keep are discarded. Obviously, you only
need to change the settings of the Mode whose
length you want to modify.
NOTE
There is no way to recall the previous version, so be sure to
save your rhythm before continuing (see p. 89).

Value (CPT) –4800~4800 This parameter sets the
amount by which the
notes are shifted. The
value refers to CPT
units (one CPT= 1/120
q
). Notes on the first
beat of the first bar
cannot be shifted fur-
ther to the left,
because that would
mean shifting them to
the “0” measure, which
doesn’t exist.
From Note,
To Note 0 C-~127 G9 “From Note” allows
you to set the note (or
lower limit of the note
range) to be modified
within the specified
“From”/“To” time
range.
“To Note” allows you to
set the upper limit of
the note range to be
modified.

Length Bar Use the
[CURSOR
÷
VALUE] dial
and the [ENTER/
SELECT] button to set
the length of the
selected pattern(s) in
steps of one bar. You
can also make an exist-
ing track longer by
specifying a “Bar”
value that lies beyond
the last notes.
Length Beat 1~[number of
beats per bar] Specifies the beat posi-
tion. The number of
selectable beats
depends on the
selected time signa-
ture.
Length
CPT This parameter allows
you to “fine-tune” the
length. In most cases,
you will probably work
with multiples of
q
notes (i.e. 120CPT)
because 120CPT repre-
sent one beat of an X/4
bar (1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4,
etc.).
