SONG MODE
Rate (000%...200%): All note-on velocity values
will be multiplied around the central value of 64
by the specified percentage. A rate of 100% will
result in no change. A rate of 200% will move all
velocity values farther away from 64; i.e., expand
the dynamic range. A rate of 0% will set all
velocities to the central value of 64; i.e., com-
press the dynamic range.
Offset (-99...+99): The specified offset will be
added to all note-on velocity values.
Rate and Offset: These two settings can be used
separately or together. First the value is multi-
plied by the specified rate, and then the offset is
added.
If you want only to add an absolute value to each
velocity, leave rate at 100% so it will have no
effect.
If you want only to modify each velocity around
the central value of 64, then leave offset at 0 so it
will have no effect.
Remarks: Each note event in a track has a note-on
velocity which determines the force with which
the note is played. The velocity has a range of 1-
127. This modify velocity operation cannot in-
crease or decrease the velocity beyond these
values.
Summary: This operation creates a gradual change
in note-on velocity over the specified measures
of the selected track to create an effect of
crescendo or diminuendo.
Procedure:
From: song edit job directory 2 (JUMP #606)
Select: 04:Cresc (JUMP #610)
Specify: the area of track measures over which
you wish to create a crescendo, and
specify the range.
Press: a track select button 1-15 to select a
track.
To execute: the operation press ENTER.
To quit: without executing press EXIT.
Top Measure (001...999): Specify the first mea-
sure to be affected.
Last Measure (001...999): Specify the last
measure to be affected.
Range (-99...+99): Starting at the beginning of
the first measure you specify, note-on velocity
will gradually be modified until the increase or
decrease specified by the range is reached at the
end of the last measure. Settings of +1...+99
will result in a crescendo. Settings of -1...-99
will result in a diminuendo.
Remarks: Each note event in a track has a note-on
velocity which indicates the force with which the
note is played. The velocity value of each note is
limited to a range of 1-127, and the velocity
values resulting from this operation will not ex-
ceed these limits.
If a voice has not been programmed with
velocity sensitivity, the velocity value of the
note-on message will have no effect on the
sound.
Range: This specifies the final change in velocity
which will be reached at the end of the crescendo
or diminuendo. The following diagram shows the
result of the Range setting.
