Edit the MIDI events of the Song.
Editing/Deleting Existing Events
To edit data in the Event List, use the up/down cursor
buttons to highlight the specific event you want to edit, and
use the left/right cursor buttons to highlight the data type or
parameter to be edited. Then, change the value as needed
by using the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons or the data
dial.
The entire line of the edited event will flash on the display.
Press the [ENTER] button to actually enter the edited data
(the entire line of the edited event will stop flashing). To
abort an edit simply highlight to a new event location
without pressing the [ENTER] button.
Press the [F6] button to delete the event at the current
location.
When changing the value, the entire line will flash on the
display indicating this is being edited and not fixed yet.
The line stops flashing and
the value is actually entered.
Inserting New Events
To insert an event, use the up/down cursor buttons to
highlight an event at the desired point in the track measure,
beat, clock)—this is the location to which the new event will
be inserted. Then, follow the steps below.
Press the [F1] button or [EXIT] button
to abort and return to the main Event
List display.
Press the [F6] SET button to actually insert

In the Event List display, you can edit various types of

events. This means that you could, for example, enter
Voice changes to the middle of a track, even if the track
was recorded using only one Voice.

If you find the display too cluttered, you can filter out certain event
types with the View Filter. Simply press the [F2] VIEW FLT button
and select the event types you want to be displayed. For details,
see page 182.

edited data.
Since the Song can be played back from within the Song
Edit mode, you can instantly hear and check the changes
you've made while editing. If you want to hear just the track
being edited, use the Solo function (page 75).
Edit other tracks as required by repeating
6
steps 3 through 5 as desired.
After editing, press the [SONG] button to

return to the Song Play mode.
Save the edited Song data to a USB storage
8
device (page 98) before turning the power off.
Transforming the recorded data and other
operations—Song Job mode
The Song Job mode has a wide variety of operations for
changing and working with Song data. Virtually all of the
Jobs share the same procedure, so we'll explain only one
of them here—Quantize, which lets you clean up the timing
of a previously recorded track.
In the following example, this musical passage has been
written with exact quarter-note and eighth-note values.
Even though you think you may have recorded the
passage accurately, your actual performance may be
slightly ahead of or behind the beat (or both!). Quantize
allows you to align all the notes in a track so that the timing
is absolutely accurate to the specified note value.
Press the [SONG] button to enter the Song
1
Play mode, then select a Song for which the
Job is to be applied.
