The Pattern Jobs The "Offset" parameter allows you to change all gate time values by an absolute amount. "-" settings will decrease the gate time of each note by the corresponding amount, "+" settings will increase the gate time accordingly. The range is from "-9999" through "0" to "+9999". Original gate time 32 32 32 48 48 Offset = -20 12 12 12 28 28 Offset = +20 52 52 52 68 68 New Gate Time = Original Gate Time x rate/100 + offset (If the right side of the equation is 0 or less, the New Gate Time becomes 1) After setting the parameters as required press [ENTER] to execute the Modify Gate Time job.
