Creating an original Song
NOTE The Song location at which you edit or input the event is
indicated by MEAS (measure), BEAT and CLOCK. A
quarter-note (one beat when the time signature is set to “4/
4”) consists of 480 divisions. The length of each note (gate
time) is indicated by Beat and Clock. For example, 001:000
is equivalent to a quarter note and 000:240 is equivalent to
an 8th note.
4 Turn the data dial to edit the value.
The entire line of the edited event will start flashing. You can
also set the note directly from the keyboard, by holding
down the [SF6] KBD button and pressing the desired note.
5 Press the [ENTER] button to actually enter the
edited data (the entire line of the edited event will
stop flashing).
Repeat steps 3 and 5 to correct other wrong events.
6 After completing editing, press the [EXIT] button to
return back to the Song Play mode.
NOTE To easily delete an unnecessary note, move the cursor to the
corresponding location, then press the [F6] button.
Creating a swing feel—Play Effect
The Play Effect feature lets you alter the rhythm in a variety of
musically useful ways—for example, to take something that
was recorded ‘straight’ and give it a swing feel. Let’s change
the performance you recorded above, and apply a swing
feel to it here.
1 From the Song Play display, press the [F2] button
to call up the Play FX display.
2 Move the cursor to the Quantize Value of Track 1,
then select the 8th note icon.
3 Move the cursor to the Swing Rate of Track 1, then
select “66%.
This parameter determines the strength or amount of swing
applied. Selecting “66%” delays each of the up beat notes
to triplet values.
NOTE
If you’ve recorded an accompanying part to track 2, make
sure to apply the same settings to this track as well.
After completing the settings, press the [T] (Top) button,
then press the [R] (Play) button to start the Song and listen
to the swing feel in the playback.
Storing the created Song
After recording, make sure to store the created Song to
internal memory by pressing the [STORE] button to call up
the Song Store window.
The operation is basically the same as in the Voice Play
mode
NOTICE
When you execute the Store operation, the settings for the
destination memory will be overwritten. Important data should always
be backed up to a separate storage device.
For more information about the Song, refer to the Song mode
chapter in the Reference Manual.

Applying the Play Effect setting to the actual MIDI
data
The Play Effect setting temporarily changes how the Song
data is played back, but does not actually change the
Song MIDI itself. If you want to save the Play Effect
changes as part of the Song data (for example, as a
Standard MIDI file), you can use the Job operation to
permanently apply the Play Effect settings.
To execute this Job:
1 Press the [JOB] button then [F5] Track button.
2 Move the cursor to “05: Normalize Play Effect” then
press the [ENTER] button.
3 Select the corresponding Track, then press the [ENTER]
button.
