■ General notes about ‘Micro Edit’
Position indications: Sequencers only register
“events” whose positions and distances specify when
the notes are to be sounded or when they should
change (i.e. their “sequence”).
Each event is executed at a given point in time, which
is why they all have a position indication
(“1-01-119”, for example). The first figure refers to
the bar, the second to the beat within that bar and
the third to the clock (CPT) between the current beat
and the next. Each beat of a 4/4 bar comprises 120
clocks.
Monitoring note events: The Rhythm Composer can
play back the note events you select. This may help
you identify the occurrence you want to edit. When
you move the cursor to a note event, it is played back.
General procedure
To change information already available on the selected
track, proceed as follows:
1.
Use the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to select the
list entry you want to edit.
2.
Press the [ENTER/SELECT] button to select
the first value.
In the following examples, we selected the CC00
message (left) and the first parameter of a note event
(right):
3.
Rotate the [CURSOR÷VALUE] dial to set the
value.
4.
Press the [ENTER/SELECT] button to select
the next value and edit it.
5.
When you’re done, press the [EXIT] button
to return to the Rhythm Composer page,
then save your rhythm (page 91).
■ Parameters you can change
● Note velocity and gate time messages—These
messages always come in pairs. The first value
(“42:F#2”, for example) refers to the note itself and
the second (“72”) to the velocity (playing dynamics).
The “Micro Edit” page adds a third message to that
pair. It describes the duration of the note in question.
You may remember this value from the “Track Edit”
environment, where it is called “Gate Time”.
● CC—These messages usually add something to the
notes being played, like modulation, a different vol-
ume, a new stereo position… The BK-5 recognizes
(and allows you to edit) all control change numbers
the Arranger uses (CC01, 10, 11, 91, 93) and displays
their “official” name.
NOTE
CC64 (Hold) events generated by a footswitch connected to
the HOLD FOOTSWITCH socket are converted into the
equivalent GATE TIME values at the time of recording. You
may therefore have to change the duration of the notes
themselves.
● PC/Program Change—These messages are used to
select sounds within the current bank. As there are
only 128 possibilities, these messages are usually pre-
ceded by control changes CC00 and CC32. That’s why
the BK-5 inserts all three when you use the “Create
Event” function. To assign a Drum Set to an Acc1~6
track, you must create a “CC00” event with the value
“111”.
NOTE
The CC00 value of ADrums tracks cannot be edited.
● Pitch Bend—These messages are used for tempo-
rary changes to the pitch of the notes being played at
that time. Pitch Bend messages can be positive
(higher) or negative (lower). Setting range: –128~
128.
● Alteration Mode—This event allows you to specify
how the notes recorded for a rhythm track will be
used during Arranger playback. See below for details.
NOTE
This parameter is not available for ADrums tracks or the
Intro3,, Intro4, Ending3, Ending4 divisions.
Editing events
■Editing Pitch Bend messages
Pitch Bend messages can be positive or negative (the
range is –128~128). The value “0” means that the
pitch of notes being played in that area is not altered.
If a Pitch Bend occurrence is not reset to “0” at some
stage, all notes will keep sounding flat when you no
longer want them to.
■Editing control changes
These messages (CC) can be set to the desired value
(0~127) when the corresponding effect is needed –
but they also need to be reset to “0” to avoid
unpleasant surprises.
