After setting the parameters as required, press [ENTER]. “Are you sure?” will appear on the display. Press [+1/YES] to confirm that you want to go ahead with the Copy Measure operation (Copy Measure is irrevers ible), or press [.1/NO] to cancel. MUSICAL NOTE The Copy Measure job makes it easy to use phrases or even complete sections (an entire chorus, for example) in more that one place in a song. You can copy a phrase played by one voice, and have it repeated by a different voice later in the song. You can always edit the copied sections to create variations. –1 + 1 NO YES ENTER Press [.1/NO] to cancel. 125 7 Creating a Complete Song 7 Creating a Complete Song Create Measure Measure at which created measures are to be inserted (001 …999).

The accompani ment tracks are not affected. The created meas ures are inserted at a specified measure number, and all subsequent measures are moved forward to make room.

Press [+1/YES] to confirm that you want to go ahead with the Create Measure operation, or press [.1/NO] to cancel. Use create measure when you want to add new material somewhere in the middle of data you’ve already recorded, without erasing the existing data. First create the required measures, then either copy the data from existing measures using the Copy Measure function, or record new data as required. 126 7 Creating a Complete Song 7 Creating a Complete Song Quantize First measure in range to be modified (001 …999).

After setting the parameters as required, press [ENTER]. “Are you sure?” will appear on the display. Press [+1/YES] to confirm that you want to go ahead with the quantize operation (which will irreversibly modify the data in the specified track), or press [.1/NO] to cancel. Quantization is generally used to tighten up sloppy timing. Use it judiciously, however, because timing that is too perfect can sound cold and mechanical —unless, of course, you’re specifically aiming for a cold, mechanical feel. Always use a quantize value that is at least as “short”as the shortest notes in the track to be quantized. If you quantize a track containing 16th notes to 1/8 (8th notes), for example, some of the 16th notes will be aligned with 8th note beats, thus ruining the track.

Please note that if the Delete Measure job is used to delete a measure or measures that have a different time signature from the rest of the song, the specified measure or measures may not be properly deleted due to the resulting difference between the time signatures of the Last measure in range to sequencer and accombe deleted (001 …999). paniment tracks.
