■ Time Signature
The “Time Signature” parameter allows you to check
and set the time signature of the patterns. The major,
minor and seventh Modes of a pattern must always
use the same time signature, which is why you can-
not edit them separately.
Use this parameter to specify the time signature of
the selected pattern (“Division”, see below). The
MAIN, INTRO and ENDING instances comprise four
variations, which is why there are four “Time Signa-
tures” values you can select using the VARIATION
[1]~[4] button icons. When you select “Fill Up” or “Fill
Dwn” for “Division”, only three “Time Signature”
instances can be edited.
The most commonly used time signatures are: 2/4, 3/
4, 4/4, 6/8 and 12/8. Other values (such as 7/4, 13/8,
etc.) are also possible.
NOTE
When you change the time signature of an already
recorded pattern, its notes and events are “reshuffled”, so
that you may end up with incomplete measures. None of
your data are deleted, however.
Press the [WRITE] button (its indicator flashes) to
confirm your settings and edit the data.
Editing individual rhythm events
(Micro Edit)
Select this mode if you need to change just one aspect
of an otherwise perfect rhythm.
In this section, we will use the word “event” for any kind
of message. An event is thus a command (or instruction)
for the Arranger.
You can only view and edit one track at a time. There-
fore, be sure to check the “Track” setting before editing
the events displayed on this page.

You can use the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial and [ENTER/
SELECT] button to edit the available functions.
NOTE
This page doesn’t allow you to select a different rhythm
pattern (“ADrum – Major – Intro1” in our example). Be sure
to select the correct button before calling up the “Micro
Edit” page (see step (2) above).
