q The Meas, Beat, and Clock Parameters These three parameters are common to all the displays described above. In addition to indicating the location of the current event, they can be edited to move the event as required: • The "Meas" parameter, edited via [CS2], indicates the number of the current measure. Range: 001 ... 999. The length of each measure depends on the time signature of the song. • The "Beat" parameter, edited via [CS3], indicates the current beat within the current measure. The value of each beat and the number of beats in each measure depend on the selected time signature. If the time signature is 4/4, for example, each beat will equal one quarter-note, and there will be four beats per measure. If the time signature is 6/8, however, each beat will equal an eighth-note, and there will be six beats per measure. • The "Clock" parameter, edited via [CS4], indicates the current clock within the current beat within the current measure. There are 48 clocks per quarter note, 24 per eighth note, 12 per sixteenth note, and so on. If the "Top of Track", "Measure Bar", or "End of Track" display is showing, changing these parameters and pressing the [ENTER/YES] key takes you directly to the specified location. s THE INSERT MODE (Tracks 1 ... 8) Insert edit (INS) allows note, control change, program change, pitch bend, and aftertouch events to be inserted at any point in the sequencer tracks. Normally, the insert mode is entered by pressing the [F1] key after locating the desired insert point in the change mode. The type of event to be inserted can then be selected by pressing the [F8] key until the desired event appears on the display ("NOTE" = note; "CTRL" = control change; "PGM" = program change; "PB" = pitch bend; "AT" = aftertouch). The various event types have the same parameters and ranges as in the change mode (see above). Set the parameters for the selected event as required, then press the [ENTER/YES] key to insert the event. The insert location can be changed while in the insert mode by using the data entry dial. The [F3] key determines whether the dial changes the measure ("MEAS"), beat ("BEAT"), or clock ("CLOCK") value. Press the [F1] key to return to the change mode, or the [EXIT/NO] key to return to the song play mode. SONG EDIT MODE / TRACK EDIT 161
