Exchanging Parts (Part Exchange)
You can exchange the notes recorded for one part with the notes
recorded for a different part.
Tightening Up the Note Timing
(Quantize)
Inaccuracies in the timing of your performance can be corrected
to the timing interval you specify. This is called the “ Quantize”
function.
For example, if you intended to play at quarter-note timing, but
were not perfectly accurate, you can tighten-up your performance
by quantizing to quarter-note (1/4) timing.

Editing Individual Notes (Note Edit)
You can edit the individual notes of a recorded performance. This
function is called “ Note Edit.”
You can use Note Edit to make the following changes.
• Delete an unintended note
• Change the pitch of a single note
• Change the playing strength (velocity) of a single note
• Change the fingering number

Editing Tone Changes During the Song
(PC Edit)
Songs in which the instrumental sound changes during the song
(i.e., when the tone used by a part is switched during the song)
contain commands that specify when the tone should change.
These commands are called “program changes (PC).” You can use “
PC Edit” to delete a program change or to change the tone that is
selected.
MEMO
You can’t insert a program change into a measure or beat that
does not already contain a program change.
1.

] [
] buttons to select the part
containing the program change that you want to edit .
The number of the selected part is shown in the center of the
