[. . . ] Owner's Manual SPECIAL MESSAGE SECTION This product utilizes batteries or an external power supply (adapter). DO NOT connect this product to any power supply or adapter other than one described in the manual, on the name plate, or specifically recommended by Yamaha. WARNING: Do not place this product in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over , or roll anything over power or connecting cords of any kind. The use of an extension cord is not recommended! [. . . ] At a setting of "0%" no quantization will occur, while a setting of "100%" will cause all notes to be aligned precisely to the nearest specified beat value. In-between settings produce a corresponding shift in the position of all off-beat notes to the nearest specified beat value. With a value setting of " " and a strength setting of 50%, for example, a note that does not fall precisely on a quarter note beat will be shifted about halfway to nearest quarter note beat. Original data (assuming 4/4 meter) Quantizing strength = 100% (quantize value = ) Quantizing strength = 50% (quantize value = ) The "Swing Rate" parameter produces a "swing" feel by shifting the timing of "back beats", as specified by the quantize value. For example, if the specified quantization value is 8th notes, then the swing effect will shift the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure forward to create a swing feel. If the quantize value is set to a triplet note length, the last note in each triplet group will be shifted. If the quantize value is set to a compound note length (e. g. 8th note + 8th note triplet) the evennumbered back beats will be shifted. The "Swing Rate" parameter determines how much the timing of the affected notes will be shifted. The range is from 50% (no swing) to 75% (maximum swing) for even note lengths, from 66% to 83% for triplet note lengths, and from 50% to 66% for even-plus-triplet note lengths (e. g. 8th note + 8th note triplet). , 11 161 The Pattern Jobs Quarter-note length Original timing Quantizing value = , Swing rate 50% (no delay) Quantizing value = , Swing rate 60% (delay applied) The "Gate Time" parameter increases or decreases the gate times (length) of all notes affected by the swing parameter. The "Gate Time" parameter sets the ratio between the shorter and longer gate time values. A setting of "100%" maintains the original relationship between the notes, lower values produce a narrower gate time range, and higher values produce a broader gate time range. After setting the parameters as required press [ENTER] to execute the Quantize job. The metronome icon will appear on the display while the data is being processed, then "Completed" will appear briefly when the job is done. Press the [EXIT] key to return to the job list, or a mode key to go directly to the selected mode. 162 The Pattern Jobs 02 : Modify Velocity Increases or decreases the velocity values of all notes in the specified track and range of measures. First measure. Last measure. First beat. Last beat. The "TR" parameter selects the track to be affected by the Modify Velocity job: D1, D2, PC, BA, C1, C2, C3, C4. The "M" parameters above the graphic bar are used to specify the first measure:beat and last measure:beat of the range to be modified. The "SetAll" parameter makes it possible to set all notes in the specified range to a single velocity value from "1" to "127". "Set All" can also be turned "Off" when the "Rate" and "Offset" parameters, below, are to be used for velocity modification. The "Rate" parameter allows you to change the Velocity value of each note without affecting the velocity ratios between notes (proportional change). A setting of "100%" maintains the absolute velocity differOriginal velocities ences between notes, 96 64 32 127 96 while lower (higher) values will decrease (increase) the velocity values to the Rate = 50% corresponding percentage, 48 32 16 63 48 resulting in a narrower Rate = 150% (wider) dynamic range. The range is from "0%" to 127 96 48 127 127 "200%". , 11 163 The Pattern Jobs The "Offset" parameter allows you to change all velocity values by an absolute amount. "-" settings will decrease the velocity of each note by the corresponding amount, "+" settings will increase the velocity accordingly. The range is from "-99" through "0" to "+99". Original velocities 96 64 32 127 96 Offset = -20 76 44 12 107 76 Offset = +20 116 84 52 127 116 New Velocity = Original Velocity x rate/100 + offset (If the right side of the equation is 0 or less, the New Velocity becomes 1.
