The Phrase Jobs The Modify Gate Time job can be used to produce a more staccato or legato feel, as required. Experiment with the parameters to get a feel for what they do. The "Phrase" parameter selects the user phrase to be affected by the Modify Gate Time job: "001" ... "100". The "rate" 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. The range is from "0%" to "200%". The "offset" parameter determines the amount of gate time modification. "-" settings shorten the gate time while "+" settings increase the gate time. The range is from "-99" through "0" to "+99". New Gate Time = Original Gate Time × rate/100 + offset (If the right side of the equation is less than 0, the New Gate Time becomes 1.) After setting the parameters as required press [ENTER] to execute the Modify Gate Time 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 [F6] key ("Exit") to return to the job list, or a mode key to go directly to the selected mode. 04: Crescendo Produces a gradual crescendo (increase in note velocity) or decrescendo (decrease in note velocity) in the specified user phrase over the specified range of measures. The "Phrase" parameter selects the user phrase to be affected by the Crescendo job: "001" ... "100". 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. First measure Last measure First beat Last beat 96
