9.2.3 EDIT TRACK – EXPRESSION
The EXPRESSION function allows you to regulate the expression control relating to the
individual tracks. Modifying this control therefore modifies the value of Control Change 11.
From the EDIT TRACK video page, press the [F3] function key and the display will show the
video page:
in which we can see the usual edit parameters, modifiable using the encoder:
o
Track
: selectable using the [F2] function key – allows the user to specify the track on
which the expression control is to be modified.
o
StartMsr
: [F3] – identifies the number of the first bar from which the variation is to be
made.
o
EndMsr
: [F4] – identifies the number of the last bar in which the variation is to be made.
o
Var.
: [F5] – allows modification of the value of the expression control in the track in
question and in the set range of bars.
As for other functions relating to the CCs, the Genius applies a percentage rescaling of the
data in order to retain the variations of the controls within the track. Since the editing is in
relation to the original value, if the Ratio value is set at 100% the new value will be equal to
100% of the existing value, while if 50% is selected the new value will be halved.
When the procedure is complete the modifications made can be confirmed by pressing the
[ENTER] key, while if [ESC] is pressed they will be aborted. In both cases, when the user
exits from the function just described the display will return to the EDIT TRACK menu.
9.2.4 EDIT TRACK – VELOCITY
The VELOCITY function allows regulation of the dynamic of the notes present in a track and
within a range of bars set by the user.
The MIDI information concerning the note to be played also contains the value of the dynamic,
meaning the pressure applied by the performer to the key of a hypothetical keyboard instrument.
Here again, in order to retain the original expression, the Genius applies the relative editing
rule, consisting of a percentage rescaling of the dynamic data in the track and within the
range of bars set. Although the Genius allows Ratio values up to 200% (doubling the velocity
value), once the maximum possible limit is reached the value will remain unchanged.
This function can be recalled from the EDIT TRACK menu, using the [F4] function key,
associated to the
VELOCITY
field:
