Adjusting Expression
You can quickly and easily adjust the Expression level of all tracks in a Style
Element. This allows for a more precise control over the volume level of all
Style Element.
1 While in this page, select one of the Style Elements by pressing its button in
the control panel.
2 Keep the SHIFT button pressed, and press the TEMPO + button to increase
the Expression value of all the Style Element’s tracks, TEMPO - to decrease
it.
3 Release the SHIFT button.
4 Repeat the above operation with all the desired Style Elements.
A track’s volume may be changed by an Expression event contained in a
track. To check if any of these events exist in a track, let the Style Element
play and look at the Expression Monitor in this same page. If one or more
Expression events are found, go to the Event Edit page and delete or edit
them.
5 Press the START/STOP button and play some chords to check how it works.
Select any Style Element using the control panel button. Press START/STOP
again to stop playback.
Keyboard Range
Setting the Keyboard Range automatically transposes any sequence note
that would otherwise play too high or too low in pitch, compared to the origi-
nal acoustic instrument’s natural range, when transposed by the arranger.
This will result in more natural sounding instruments.
For example, the standard lower limit for a concert flute is C4. If you play
a chord under the C4, the transposed pattern could exceed this limit, and
sound unnatural. A Bottom limit set to C4 for the flute track will solve the
problem.
Different Keyboard Range values can be set for each Style Element. This will
help forcing a preferred range in a particular section of the song, to simulate
a particular piano comping style, or to avoid overlapping of instruments over
different tracks.
