JOB 03 MODIFY GATE TIME 7. Song Jobs 2 • This job alters the gate times of the specified range of notes (pitches) in the specified segment of the designated track. The gate time refers to the length of time that a note is held. For non-percussive voices, the gate time is equal to the actual playback time span. • Using this job, you can choose to change all targeted notes to some fixed gate time, or you can apply a relative (linear) adjustment to the original gate times. • If making a relative adjustment, you use two parameters: the Rate and the Offset. The Rate value applies a proportional change to the gate time, while the Offset value (which is applied after the Rate adjustment) adds a fixed value. The relation is as follows: Adjusted gate time = (original gate time X Rate) + Offset. • If the adjustment result is less than 1, the QY700 sets the value to 1. 1. Track setting: TR • This parameter selects the sequence track to which adjustment is applied. 0101 1101 01,...,32 2. Segment and notes (M and Note=) • The two boxes at the top of the screen (to the right of the M) select the track segment over which adjustment is carried out. The first box sets the measure and beat for the start point; the second box sets the end point. The Note boxes select the range of notes (pitches) to be targeted by the adjustment: notes with pitches outside this range are not affected. 0101 1101 Measure: beat Note range 001:1,...,999:8 C-2,...,G8 3. Set all • Use this parameter if you want to set all targeted notes to some identical gate time (1 to 9999). If you do not want to use this feature (if you want to make the linear adjustment instead), set the value to Off. • Note that if the setting is other than Off, the Rate and Offset values are ignored. 0101 1101 Off (0), 0001,...,9999 4. Rate • The Rate parameter applies a proportional change to the gate timing of all targeted notes. A setting of 100% produces no change; a setting of 50% cuts the gate time in half; a setting of 200% causes the gate time to double.
