This operation increases or decreases the gate times (dura-
tion) of all notes in the specified track and range of mea-
sures.

●

Range: 01 — 16

This determines the track to be affected by the Modify Gate
Time Job.

●

Measure Range is actually four separate settings (as shown
below).  These determine the range of the play data that is
to be affected.

●

Range: -99 — 0 — +99

This determines the amount of gate time modification.
Negative settings shorten the gate time while positive
settings increase the gate time.

NOTE: The Rate and Offset parameters change the Gate Time
(note duration) according to the following formula:

New Gate Time = Original Gate Time x Rate/100 + Offset
(If the right side of the equation is less than 0, the new Gate
Time becomes 1)

Press 

E to execute the Modify Gate Time Job.  A

“Completed” message appears briefly when the Job is done.

HINT: The Modify Gate Time Job can be used to produce a
more staccato or legato feel, as required.  Experiment with the
parameters to get a feel for what they do and how you can use
them.

●

Range: 0 — 200%

This determines the ratio between the shorter and longer
gate time values.  A setting of 100% maintains the original
relationship between the notes, lower values produce a
narrower gate time range, and higher values produce a
broader gate time range.
