The Sequencer E9 NOTE SHIFT »NOTE SHIFT ‡ Track=Tr1 Shift=+12 - + - + † »NOTE Tr1 +12 ‡ TopMeas= 1 LastMeas= 16 - + - + † »NOTE Tr1 1> 16 +12 Execute - + Purpose: Shifts the pitch of notes in the specified measures of the specified track (accompaniment track not available) up or down by a maximum of two octaves, in semitone increments. Procedure: Use the [] buttons to switch between the three display screens, and the left or right [-] and [+] buttons to set the track number (Track), the amount of note shift (Shift - see "Notes" below), the number of the first measure in the range in which the notes are to be shifted (TopMeas), and the number of the last measure in the range in which the notes are to be shifted (LastMeas). Once the track, shift, and measure numbers have been specified, press the [+] button below "Execute" on the right side of the display to actually execute the note shift operation. "Sequencer Executing!" will appear on the lower line of the display while the operation is in progress, and "Completed!" will appear briefly when the operation has finished. Immediately after execution "Undo" will appear above the right [-] button, and that button can be used to undo the note shift operation if it was executed by mistake. The undo function is only available until the next operation is performed. Notes: The range of "Shift" values is from -24 to +24. A setting of "0" produces no note shift. Each increment represents a semitone, so a setting of +4, for example, would shift the pitch of notes in the specified range up by an interval of a third. A setting of -12 would shift the notes down by one octave. The ability to selectively shift the pitch of specified measures and tracks makes it simple to create "modulations" (key changes) without having to reprogram entire passages, and to create simple harmonies. E10 SONG CLEAR `...SONG 1 CLEAR FREE:31k Execute + Purpose: Deletes the entire song - i.e. deletes all data from all sequencer tracks. Procedure: Press the [+] button below "Execute" on the display to execute the song clear operation. "Completed!" will appear briefly when the operation has finished. Notes: Remember that this function deletes all data in the sequencer in one operation. If you think you might want to keep the data for later use or editing, be sure to save it to floppy disk (page 42, 46) before executing the song clear operation. Be careful with SONG CLEAR - it has no "undo" function! The remaining amount of sequencer memory is shown on the bottom line of the display in kilobytes. 14

SONG CLEAR
Once the track, shift, and measure numbers have been
specified, press the [+] button below “Execute” on the right
side of the display to actually execute the note shift opera-
tion. “Sequencer Executing!” will appear on the lower line of
the display while the operation is in progress, and “Com-
pleted!” will appear briefly when the operation has finished.
Immediately after execution “Undo” will appear above the
right [-] button, and that button can be used to undo the note
shift operation if it was executed by mistake. The undo func-
tion is only available until the next operation is performed.
Notes:
The range of “Shift” values is from -24 to +24. A setting
of “0” produces no note shift. Each increment represents a
semitone, so a setting of +4, for example, would shift the
pitch of notes in the specified range up by an interval of a
third. A setting of -12 would shift the notes down by one
octave.
The ability to selectively shift the pitch of specified meas-
ures and tracks makes it simple to create “modulations” (key
changes) without having to reprogram entire passages, and to
create simple harmonies.
Purpose:
Shifts the pitch of notes in the specified measures of the
specified track (accompaniment track not available) up or
down by a maximum of two octaves, in semitone increments.
Procedure:
Use the [
<
] and [
>
] buttons to switch between the three
display screens, and the left or right [-] and [+] buttons to set
the track number (Track), the amount of note shift (Shift —
see “Notes” below), the number of the first measure in the
range in which the notes are to be shifted (TopMeas), and the
number of the last measure in the range in which the notes
are to be shifted (LastMeas).
Notes:
Remember that this function deletes all data in the se-
quencer in one operation. If you think you might want to
keep the data for later use or editing, be sure to save it to
floppy disk (page 42, 46) before executing the song clear
operation. Be careful with SONG CLEAR — it has no
“undo” function!
The remaining amount of sequencer memory is shown on
the bottom line of the display in kilobytes.
Purpose:
Deletes the entire song — i.e. deletes all data from all
sequencer tracks.
Procedure:
Press the [+] button below “Execute” on the display to
execute the song clear operation. “Completed!” will appear
briefly when the operation has finished.
