6. Song Editing • You use the SONG EDIT submode to edit the contents of a song. You can adjust or delete any of the MIDI events that constitute the song, and you can add new events. • The QY700 offers two different sequence-track editing screens: an event list and a graphic display. You can toggle between these screens by pressing 1. • The event list presents a listing of the track's MIDI events, in order of their occurrence. Each entry shows an event's location in time, its name, and its numerical arguments. You are free to adjust the location or any of the argument values. You can delete any of the events, or insert new ones. The event-list screen is described in detail directly below. • The graphic display consists of a piano-roll section and a point-graph section. You can edit the event values on this screen, but you cannot insert or delete events. Description of the graphic display begins on page 135. • You can also use SONG EDIT submode for measure-bymeasure editing of the PATTERN and CHORD tracks. The edit page presents a list-type display that you can use to make changes, additions, and deletions. 1. At the SONG PLAY screen, press u or d to select the track you want to edit. • On the SONG PLAY screen, the selected track (the "keyboard track") is indicated by highlight. 2. Press e to enter SONG EDIT submode (Event List screen). 3. Move the cursor to the event that you want to edit.You can use various methods, as follows. • Press d [D1] to move the location entry area. Select the measure using the data dial, n/y, or the numeric keypad. • Regardless of the cursor position, you can always move the cursor rapidly across the screen using the shuttle dial or the r or f keys. If you move the cursor more slowly with the shuttle dial, the QY700 will play out note events as the cursor passes. • You can move up or down one event at a time by pressing u or d. Again, the QY700 will reproduce note events when the cursor lands on them. 4. When you reach an event that you want to edit, use l or r to move the cursor along the line to each value you want to change (the measure, the beat, the clock count, or any of the arguments). Change the values using the data dial, n/y, or the numeric keypad. Regardless of the entry method, you must press e to register the value. • The new settings will blink on the screen until you press e to register them. If you move the graph cursor before pressing e, the original values will remain in effect. 5. If you wish to insert a new event, press6 (Insert) and proceed as described on page 133. If you wish to delete an entire event, move the cursor to the corresponding line and press 5 (Delete). 6. When you have finished editing, press e to return to the SONG PLAY screen. • If you make an error during editing, you can cancel all changes made during the current SONG EDIT session by executing the UNDO song job (job 00). (→ p.141) 1. Track number and name • This area identifies the track that you are editing. The first value gives the track's number, and the second value gives its name. • You can you use 3 (TrName) to set or change the track's name. (→ p.132) • You can change to a different track by pressing u or d. 2. Location • The location area indicates the measure and beat at which the cursor is located. • You can jump the cursor to a different measure by entering the corresponding measure number into this area. You can select any measure between song start (001:1) and song end. 130 Chapter 2. SONG MODE
