Editing in the Phrase Scope
Editing notes
By editing notes you can modify the melody of a phrase or create chords.
By default (when a frame is first pasted), a note is placed at the original pitch of the sample (the key
that will sound the sample at its original pitch). One note will be displayed for each event.
In the
phrase scope
you can move or add notes to freely play the sample just as if you were controlling
the VariOS from your keyboard. For example, you can create a chorus melody from just a single vocal
melody.
■
Grid Snap setting
Turn this on if you want to place notes or select regions at intervals of the grid spacing.
When you drag a note to move it, the note will move in units of the grid. For example, if the grid
spacing is set to one measure, a note that was intentionally placed a 1/16th note ahead of the bar line
will move in steps of one measure, maintaining its position 1/16th note ahead of the bar line.
To switch the display grid, drag the numerical value shown at the right of the grid button, and choose
from the pulldown menu that appears.

If you want to play legato in the phrase scope, go to the Sample
Edit screen (p. 62) and set the sample Playback mode (p. 63) to

If you edit a note with the
Playback mode
set to
“RETRIGGER,”
the
beginning of the sample will be played each time the pitch
changes, and you will be unable to play legato.
