EDITING THE SONG
It is not always possible to 
record a song without making any 
mistake.  You may need to make 
adjustments to the song you have 
recorded.
The CP has a full range of 
editing capabilities that allow 
you to make anything from a 
global change to an adjustment 
to a single note.


SONG EDIT
This lets you name the song and 
select transposition and initial 
tempo settings.

To edit the song:

1) Select Song Edit from the 
Advanced Recorder menu.  The 
Song Edit menu is displayed.

2) Use the L and R buttons to 
select the setting that you wish 
to change.

3) Use the Dial to change the 
value.  To name to the song, use 
the F2 and F3 buttons to move 
the cursor over the characters 
in the name, and then use the 
Dial to select characters.

4) Press the MENU button (F1) to 
go back to the Advanced Recorder 
menu.


BAR EDITING
As you edit your song, you may 
need to copy, erase, transpose 
or merge only certain bars.  Bar 
Editing allows you to modify the 
song data by measure.

To bring up the Bar Edit menu:

	
1) In Advanced Recorder menu 
select Bar Edit (R3).  The Bar 
Edit menu will be displayed.
	
2) Use the L and R buttons to 
select the specific type of 
editing that you wish to do.  
Another submenu will then be 
displayed.

QUANTIZE
Quantize automatically shifts 
the timing of a note.  This can 
be used to correct imperfect 
timing in a performance by 
shifting notes that were played 
either too early or too late to 
a spot where they now will fall 
right on the appropriate beat.
If quantizing your notes makes 
the overall feel of the piece 
too rigid or mechanical, you can 
allow for leniency by adjusting 
the beat that the notes will 
shift to (Resolution) and the 
extent to which note timing can 
be allowed to fall around that 
beat (Tolerance).

Resolution dictates what kind of 
timing value the quantization 
will shift the notes to play on.   
Quantizing your song to longer 
note values will result in a 
more rigid, rhythmically 
simplified performance, since 
notes that were originally at 
smaller subdivisions of the beat 
will be shifted onto the closest 
Resolution beat.  For example, 
if you choose a Resolution of a 
quarter note, then all eighth 
notes in your recording that you 
quantize will be shifted to play 
only on the closest quarter note 
beats, greatly simplifying the 
rhythmic complexity of the song.  
This, of course, is not always 
artistically desirable.

Tolerance sets up timing 
"borders" around the 
Resolution beat to which the 
notes outside that range will be 
moved.  The negative value 
represents the placement of the 
"border" before the beat, and 
the positive value represent 
where the "border" after the 
beat will be placed.  Taken 
together, these two "borders" 
form a timing "range" around 
the beat.

Selecting zero Tolerance results 
in no "range", and all notes 
are shifted to the precise beat.

The notes that fall  beyond the 
Tolerance "range" are moved to 
the closest "border" of the 
Tolerance.
The notes that fall inside the 
Tolerance "range" are not 
shifted at all.

By experimenting with Resolution 
and Tolerance settings, you can 
correct the timing of the notes 
in your recording while still 
allowing for a natural, human 
feel.


COPY
This function duplicates the 
data from within a track, and 
copies it to another location.  
This destination may be on the 
same track, or it can be another 
track.

The destination of the copied 
data must either be: 
1) A location that already has 
data in it.
2) The first blank bar after the 
end of a track (Bar 1 if the 
destination track is empty).

For example, if a track only has 
10 bars in it, you cannot copy 
data onto bar 20.  You can, 
however, copy data to bars 1 
through 11. 

Copied data replaces any 
current data that may be at the 
destination.  

DELETE
Delete completely erases and 
removes the bars that you 
specify.

INSERT
The Insert function duplicates 
data from specified bars and 
copies it to a certain location.  
However, the current data at the 
destination is not erased, but 
instead is pushed back to make 
room for the copied data.

If you just wish to insert empty 
bars into a track, select INSERT 
BAR (F3 or F4), and a sub-menu 
will be displayed. You can 
insert empty bars into a track 
between bars that have data, or 
at the first blank bar at the 
end of the track.

ERASE
Erases data in the bars that you 
specify, and leaves them as 
empty bars.

MERGE
Merge combines data from two 
tracks.  You can make complex 
musical phrases using several 
tracks, and then combine them 
down to just one track so that 
all the others can be freed up.  
Keep in mind, though, that there 
can still only be one instrument 
sound assigned to a given track, 
so the resulting track from the 
Merge will play all the combined 
data using one instrument.  This 
is useful for making rhythm 
patterns by first recording 
different percussion parts using 
the same drum kit on several 
tracks and then combining them, 
or combining the right and left 
hand parts of a piano piece.

Merge does not automatically 
erase the track from where you 
copied the data.

GATE TIME MODIFY
Gate time refers to the length 
of a note as a percentage.  
Whatever the length of a note is 
when it is first recorded, this 
value is considered as its Gate 
time of 100%.  By editing the 
length of the note, you can 
shorten it to 10% or lengthen it 
to 300% of the original value.

VELOCITY MODIFY
Velocity refers to how hard a 
key is struck, which translates 
into the dynamics of how loud 
the produced sound is.

A note's Velocity is a numerical 
value from 1-127.  When editing 
the note Velocities in your 
recording, you can change them 
within a +/-100 range of their 
original values.

CLOCK MOVE
The Concert Performer has an 
internal rhythm-keeping Clock, 
which it uses to maintain the 
timing and length of notes when 
playing back your recording.  
The CP's Clock has a resolution 
of 96 pulses per quarter note, 
which means that the time 
between the start of one quarter 
note and the start of a quarter 
note right after it is divided 
into 96 increments. Therefore 
there are 48 clocks per eighth 
note, and 24 clocks per 
sixteenth note.  This 
relationship holds true 
regardless of the song's tempo.  

On the CP, you can adjust the 
timing of all notes in a track 
as a whole by shifting the 
entire track off by a certain 
clock value.

TRANSPOSE
This will transpose the notes 
within a specified bar(s) up or 
down in half-step increments.

EVENT EDIT
Event Edit enables you to 
examine and edit your 
performance note by note.

To work with Event Edit:

1) Select Event Edit in the 
Advanced Recorder menu.  The 
Event Edit menu will be 
displayed.

2) Choose the track that you 
want to work with using the 
TRACK buttons (F3, F4).  Note 
that Style track and Tempo track 
can be edited as well.

3) Use the L buttons to scroll 
up or down the list note events 
in your song until you find the 
specific one that you want to 
edit.  You will hear the 
individual events being played 
as you scroll over them.

4) Select the event using the 
CURSOR buttons (F5, F6) and L3 
and L4 buttons.  The selected 
event will become highlighted.

5) Select the function that 
you'd like to apply to this 
event.  You can select DELETE 
(R1) to remove the element, 
INSERT (R2) to create a new one 
at the same location, or REPLACE 
(R3) to change the existing one.
Enter new values in the Entry 
Box that will pop up when you 
select INSERT or REPLACE.

6) Press the EXEC (F7) button to 
proceed, or press CANCEL (F2).  
The CP will prompt you for 
confirmation.

7) Use the MENU button (F1) to 
return to the Advanced Recorder 
menu when you are done editing.
