Pitch
This is the actual pitch of the note. The range is from C-2 to G8.
Gate Time
Gate time is the length of the note in clocks. A normal 1/4 note, for
example, is 86 clocks long. This is about 90% of the actual length of
a 1/4-note division, which is 96 clocks. The “normal” length of the
note is slightly shortened to prevent notes from running into each
other and sounding slurred (a slur is produced by setting the full note
length). The left number is 1/4-note beats (96-clock units) and the
right number is clocks. The range is from 00-01 to 99-95.
Velocity
This parameter controls the velocity (loudness) of the note. The
range is from 001 to 127.
