d. Editing velocity 
Place the cursor under the note that you want to edit and 
press the control knob.  Turn the control knob to increase or 
decrease the velocity.   
 
You can remove the note by turning the velocity down to 
zero. 
 
While you're editing velocity, you can play any key to hear 
what the note sounds like at that velocity. 
 
Note:  Though the duration of the note is displayed in this 
screen, it cannot be edited here. 
 
e. Editing duration. 
To edit the duration of a note, move the cursor to it and play 
the note with the duration you desire.   
 
The duration value cannot be edited directly, but a rough 
indication of the duration can be seen on the upper right side 
of the display.   
 
 
12.  Clear controllers? 
Press the control knob to erase all slider, pitch wheel, and knob 
movements from the pattern, but keep the notes.  This is handy if 
you recorded some controller movements that you're unhappy 
with, and want to try another take without starting the pattern 
from scratch. 
 
13.  Clear pattern? 
Press the control knob to erase all notes and controller movements 
from the pattern, but keep the basic pattern parameters.  To 
quickly jump to this option, hold down the [patterns] button and 
press the highest note on the keyboard.  
 
Gauging note velocity and 
duration on the display 
As you place the cursor under 
each note, the top right side 
of the display will change. 
 
Higher velocities are 
illustrated with higher bars. 
 
Longer note lengths are 
illustrated with thicker bars.  
Notes can overlap one 
another, but that overlap is 
not visible on the display.
