WHAT’S NEW IN VERSION 2

Welcome to Version 2—a powerful system upgrade package for the Yamaha

W5/W7 Music Synthesizer that adds an exciting new dimension to one of the

most versatile all-in-one music production workstations ever made.

Version 2 provides additional Preset voice banks, more than a hundred great-

sounding new voices, a long list of unique performance, song play, recording and

remixing functions, plus many convenient shortcuts and other useful new

features which further streamline the W5/W7’s already simple operation.

New Features

• A total of three Preset voice banks, plus hot new techno, dance music and other voices which add unprecedented

sonic dimension and musical range to the W5/W7’s high quality digital sound. (For details, see page 8.)

• Cue Play, which lets you trigger-start a song or sequence phrase from a specified measure simply by pressing a Track

button. Lining up a different phrase for each of the 16 Track buttons lets you cue up the right groove or music “hit”

at the right time as the mood of the party dictates. (For details, see page 11.)

• Multitrack Loop Recording, which lets you jump from track to track and spot overdub new parts in a specified series

of measures to capture inspiration as it strikes. (For details, see page 13.)

• Song Remix, which lets you mix alternate versions of your tunes complete with automatic track solo, mute and other

commands which you can input in realtime. The result is greatly expanded on-board “automated mixdown” options.

(For details, see page 14.)

• Playback Effect, which lets you apply “groove templates” with pre-programmed quantizing and swing factors to the

playback of specified tracks without altering the original music data. The right Playback Effects can literally breathe

new life into your tracks. (For details, see page 15.)

• Quick Split/Layer, which lets you easily select two split voices, or add a second layered voice, on the fly as you play.

The new Dynamic Split feature lets you play two voices with a “floating split point” that’s determined by note

prioritization based on how you play the keyboard. (For details, see page 19.)

• Tempo Delay, which automatically calculates the delay time of System Effect 3 to the tempo of the song, which

eliminates unnatural sonic clashes in order to smooth out or tighten up your mix. (For details, see page 22.)

• Faster voice selection features, simplified voice element assign and other convenient voice editing features, expanded

voice and multi storage functions, additional song record and edit features, automatic song loading from disk, and

much more.

How to Use This Guide

• This W5/W7 Version 2 System Upgrade Information Guide is a supplement to the original W5/W7 Owner’s Manual

and W5/W7 Technical Information booklet.

• The “New Features Overview Chart” shows at a glance just what’s new and where it’s located in relation to the

existing features, and the “New Features in Version 2” section provides descriptions of each new feature and how to

access it.

W_DEMO.A1A file

Five songs are sequentially arranged in the file:

• SONG 01 : Isn’tItHip

• SONG 02 : Metal Bomb

• SONG 03 : Gavotte

• SONG 04 : Halftime

• SONG 05 : RAM-Jam

The various songs showcases how great the W5/W7 sounds across different genres of music. There’s more to

each demonstration song than just an impressive performance, however, since they are also great examples for

study of clever ways to allocate voices, optimize the various effect and other settings, and more. Note that there

are special Song voices used in Song 01 and Song 05 which are not included in the factory presets.

INTVOICE.A1V file

This file contains a safety backup of the factory-programmed bank of Internal voices.

About the Accompanying Floppy Disks

The demonstration floppy disk “W5/W7 FACTORY SET & DEMONSTRATION” comes bundled

with Version 1 and the “W5/W7 Version 2 DEMONSTRATION” disk is additionally bundled with

Version 2. Each disk contains factory-programmed song and other data which especially

highlight the exceptional capabilities of the W5/W7. (For information about loading files from a

disk, see the Owner’s Manual, pages 52 and 136.)

The contents of each demonstration disk are listed and described below.

W5/W7 FACTORY SET & DEMONSTRATION

There are two types of files on the disk, as follows:

W_DEMO.A1A

All Data type file

INTVOICE.A1V Voice type file

NOTE

When loading an All Data type file,

the settings in Utility mode will also

be replaced. Therefore, be sure to

save any important All Data type

settings to floppy disk before loading

an All Data type file.

ENGLISH

W5/W7 Version 2 DEMONSTRATION

There are three types of files on the disk, as follows:

W_DEMO2.A1A All Data type file

AUTOPLAY.A1S 1 Song+Voice type file

VOICE_EDIT.A1S 1 Song+Voice type file

NOTE

When loading an All Data type file,

the settings in Utility mode will also

be replaced. Therefore, be sure to

save any important All Data type

settings to floppy disk before loading

an All Data type file.

W_DEMO.A1A file

Three songs are sequentially arranged in the file:

• SONG 01 : Dancyndrom

• SONG 02 : Whale Song

• SONG 03 : Push Track

Version 2 features a Preset 3 voice bank which includes various voices perfect for techno and dance music.

Song 3 (“Push Track”) is a special demonstration song which lets you try out the new Cue Play function (see page

11). When you start the song from the top, the W5/W7 automatically enters Cue Play mode. In the screen you

will notice which measure has been assigned as the start point for each Track button. Press a Track button to start

the Cue Play from the designated measure.

AUTOPLAY.A1S file

This file contains the same song data as “SONG 01: Dancyndrom”. However, since this was saved as an Auto Play

file (see page 26), if you insert the disk while the power is off, then switch the power on, the file will

automatically be loaded in the first song memory and begin playing.

VCE_EDIT.A1S file

This file is a special demonstration for editing a voice. When you start the song from the top, the W5/W7 plays

the intro of the demo song “Isn’t It Hip” (same as in the “W5/W7 FACTORY SET & DEMONSTRATION” disk,

above), then stops, selects Track 7, then goes on to give a visual demonstration of how to edit the voice “Needle”.

A note in the screen will explain what’s happening. Watch the screen as the various parameters are selected,

including element assignment, template selection and parameter adjustments, Insertion Effect type selection and

parameter adjustments, and others—including System Effect adjustments to various tracks. The new Remix mute

and solo (see page 14) and Playback Effect features (page 15) are also introduced.

NOTE

Do not stop the playback in the

middle of the song when playing

VCE_EDIT.A1S, since stopping it may

cause data error.

ENGLISH

PRESET VOICE BANKS

Version 2 includes two additional Preset voice banks, making a total of three Preset voice banks,

or 384 Preset normal voices in ROM. Preset voice bank 2 contains the same voices as the

Internal voice bank (RAM). Preset voice bank 3 includes 128 new voices, including many

techno and dance music oriented voices, and several unique voices which can yield various

characteristics as you play, controlled by the modulation wheel.

Including the GM voice bank, Version 2 comes complete with a total of 512 normal voices and

12 drum voices in ROM (excluding those available in the External voice bank when an

Expansion Wave/Voice Board is installed), and 128 normal voices and 2 drum voices in RAM—

for a total of 640 normal voices and 14 drum voices. Additionally, there are 128 Song voice

memories and 2 Song drum voice memories which can be dedicated to up to 10 songs.

For a list of the new normal voices in the Preset 3 voice bank and the two new drum voices in the Preset drum voice

bank, as well as the additional new elements available, see page 27.

The process of selecting voices and voice banks in Version 2 is the same as before, but there are several convenient

new options as well, including Voice Category Search, Quick Voice Bank Select and Quick Program Change.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s in each of the voice banks:

ENGLISH

P3-03:Blue Lead This is a classic high-resonance analog synth type lead voice. The filter cutoff is assigned to the CS, so you

can control the amount of resonance applied to the voice at any time by moving the CS as you play.

P3-10:N-Hall Airy, futuristic sound effect type voice. The filter cutoff is assigned to the CS, so you can greatly modify the

quality of the voice in realtime by moving the CS.

P3-13:HaHahaha A whimsical simulated laughter type voice. Control the speed of the laughing with key velocity, and the

quality of the sound with the CS and Modulation Wheel.

P3-17:MwScratch1 A highly useful voice which simulates the sound of record scratching commonly used in rap and other dance-

oriented music. Adjust the CS to control the characteristic of the sound, and simulate the DJ scratching with

the Modulation Wheel.

P3-32:Gang Soft but powerful, versatile resonant synth voice with rotary speaker Insertion Effect applied. Use the CS to

control the speed of the rotary speaker effect.

P3-53:Feed Pad Grungy but distinctively pleasant distortion pad voice. Control the amount of resonance with the CS.

P3-120:S.O.S. Cumulative chaos of a frantic S.O.S. signal from a submarine in distress. Use the CS to control the balance

between bell timbre and “muffled voices”.

❑Voice Category Search

Version 2’s Voice Category Search feature makes it

easier than ever to locate just the right voice when

you want it. This is critical considering the many

hundreds of voices that are now available at any

given time.

Voice Category Search lets you select the next voice

number with the same Voice Category code as the

current voice simply by pressing function key F5

(Ctg), in either Song Multi Play Mode or Voice

Mode—including when the Voice Directory is

displayed. This is really helpful when searching for

similar types of voices as the currently selected one—

such as piano type voices assigned with the “Pf”

Voice Category code, for example.

To select the next voice number with the same

Voice Category code as the current voice:

Press [F5].

Each time you press F5, the next voice with the

same Voice Category code will be selected within

the current voice bank, starting back at the lowest

numbered voice after the highest numbered voice

has been selected. You don’t need to press the Enter

key.

SONG MODE

VOICE MODE

❑Voice Category Display in

the Voice Directory

Version 2 not only lets you view the voice program

numbers in the Voice Directory, but also gives you

the option of viewing the two-letter Voice Category

codes assigned to each voice—in both Song Multi

Play Mode and Voice Mode.

To view the Voice Category codes in the Voice

Directory:

Press [F8] (Dir) twice.

When the Voice Directory is selected, pressing F8

will toggle back and forth between voice program

numbers display and Voice Category codes display

in the Voice Directory.

Version 2’s Preset 3 voice bank features an assortment of modern music sounds including techno, dance music and

other voices—which add a completely new dimension to the W5/W7’s sonic possibilities. Below are descriptions of a

few of the more intriguing voices which rely on the CS and Modulation Wheel to achieve maximum flexibility and

impact:

ENGLISH

❑Quick Voice Bank Select

Version 2 provides a convenient shortcut for selecting

voice banks within Voice Mode or from the Voice

Directory in Song Multi Play Mode.

Simply pressing the Shift button will display the first

letter of each voice bank (E*, I, S, G, P1, P2, P3)

above function keys F1*~F7—by which you can

jump directly to a desired voice bank.

To select a different voice bank:

Hold [SHIFT] and press a function key

[F1]~[F7] above the desired voice bank.

When you press a function key, the desired bank is

selected; the voice number is the same as for the

previously selected bank. It is not necessary to press

Enter as with the normal procedure for selecting

banks.

When you select one of the Preset voice banks, the

voice bank prefix which appears to the left of the

voice program number will be denoted with one,

two, or three dots, respectively, as follows:

• Preset 1

• Preset 2

• Preset 3

Note that pressing F8 (Drum) while holding the

Shift button lets you alternate between normal

(“Norm”) and drum voice banks.**

To select a drum voice bank:

1. Hold [SHIFT] and press [F8].

2. Press a function key [F2]~[F5] above the

desired drum voice bank.

* F1 can only be used for accessing the External voice bank when an

Expansion Wave/Voice Board is installed.

** When Track 10 is selected, you cannot access the normal voices,

since channel 10 is dedicated to the drum voices.

F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F8

F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8

SHIFT

❑ Quick Program Change

Version 2 has a new Quick Program Change feature

in Voice Mode. When Quick Program Change is

activated, you can quickly select program numbers

within a group of ten with the same first digit using

buttons 0~9 on the numeric keypad—each of

which corresponds to the last digit of the program

number of each voice.

For example, say the currently selected voice

number is 35. With Quick Program Change, you can

jump directly to any voice between 30~39 simply

by pressing buttons 0~9 on the numeric keypad.

To activate Quick Program Change:

1. In Voice Mode, press the [VOICE] button.

2. Press a number [0]~[9] on the keypad

corresponding to the last digit of the

program number you want to select.

When in Voice Mode (see the Owner’s Manual,

page 106), pressing the Voice button will toggle

back and forth between Quick Program Change and

normal Voice Play Mode. The words “Quick PC”

will display in the upper area of the screen when

Quick Program Change is active.

When you press the desired number on the keypad,

the corresponding voice with the same last digit will

be selected instantly, and therefore you need not

press Enter to lock in the selection, as in the normal

voice selection procedure. You can also press F6

and F7 to select a different voice bank, and then

press a number on the keypad to select it—within

the group of ten also with the same first digit.

Quick Program Change also lets you select voices

outside the group of ten using the Jog dial and the

Inc/Dec buttons. Also note that when you press F8

to view the Voice Directory, Quick Program Change

will be bypassed, and you can select voices and

banks in the normal way. However, when you exit

the Voice Directory, Quick Program Change will be

reactivated.

CUE PLAY

Version 2 features Cue Play in Song Sequence Play Mode (see the Owner’s Manual, page 80),

which lets you compile a list of 16 songs or sequence phrases and trigger-start them from any

measure simply by pressing Track buttons. With Cue Play you can set fire to the dance floor by

triggering the right groove at just the right time—jumping from one to another in realtime as

the mood of the party dictates.

Cue Play works by assigning any of the 16 songs to any of the Track buttons, along with which

measure in the song to start from.

To enter Cue Play Mode:

1. In Song Mode, press [F2] (Seq) to enter

Song Sequence Play Mode.

2. Hold [SHIFT] and press [F2] (Cue) to

enter Cue Play Mode.

The Cue Play screen lists which songs are assigned

to each of the 16 Track buttons, and which

measures are designated as starting points for each

cue.

The number in brackets represents the Track

number. The number to the right of the Track

number represents the song number (1~16). The

number to the right of the song number represents

the starting measure number.

To assign song numbers and starting measures

to the Track buttons:

1. Position the cursor over the song number

of a desired Track button.

2. Specify a song number using [INC],

[DEC], [JOG] or [KEYPAD].

3. Position the cursor over the starting

measure number.

Starting measure number

Track button number

Song number

4. Specify a measure start point using [INC],

[DEC], [JOG] or [KEYPAD].

Note that you can assign the same song to more

than one Track button, designating a different

measure as the starting point for each. Thus, with

various sections of the song assigned to different

Track buttons, you can literally create a playback

arrangement on the fly, just by pressing the Track

buttons.

You can designate the Cue song to play from the

start measure and continue to the end of the song,

or to play only so long as you hold down the Track

button.

To have a Cue song continue playing from the

start measure to the end:

Press [F7] (Cnt) once or more so that

“Cnt” is highlighted in black.

When “Cnt” (Continue) is highlighted, pressing a

Track button will cause the song assigned to it to

play from the starting measure point till the end—

unless you press another Track button while the

current Cue song is playing. Pressing another Track

button will terminate the song in play and start the

next song. (This also lets you restart the same song

while it is playing by pressing its Track button

again.)

ENGLISH

To have a Cue song play only while you hold

down a Track button:

Press [F7] (Cnt) once or more so that

“Cnt” is not highlighted in black.

Pressing a Track button will start the Cue song from

the specified measure start point, but the song will

stop if you let go of the button. This allows you to

trigger orchestra hits and other key song phrases at

will.

A “Memorize” feature provides a convenient

shortcut for assigning a measure number to a Track

button while the song is playing back.

❑Cue Play as Additional

Measure Locate Points

In addition to the standard Cue Play features

described above, you can also use the assignments in

Cue Play as 16 additional measure locate points (see

the Owner’s Manual, page 81). Just assign the

various measure start points beforehand, then switch

to the Cue Play screen and press the relevant Track

button to start the song from that point. The song

will continue playing as you switch back to the mixer

screen by pressing the Song button.

Note that although you can stop a Cue song at any

time by pressing the Sequencer Stop button, the Run

button is unrelated to Cue Play. Pressing the Run

button in Cue Play will simply start the currently

selected song (as displayed at the top right of the

screen).

To save the Cue Play data to floppy disk, simply save

the current data in the W5/W7 as an “All Data” file.

(For details about saving and loading, see the

Owner’s Manual, page 131.)

NOTE

If you jump from one song to another, or to a fairly distant

measure, it may take a brief moment before the second song

starts playing.

To use the Memorize function:

1. Position the cursor over either the song

number or starting measure number of a

desired Track button.

2. As the song plays, simply press [F8]

(Mem.) when the song reaches the

measure that you want to assign.

The Memorize function can also be used when the

song is stopped.

NOTE

The demo song 03: Push Track (W_DEMO02.A1A) presents a

good example of the Cue Play function. (For more

information, see page 7)

MULTITRACK LOOP RECORDING

Version 2 features Multitrack Loop Recording, which provides more flexible song sequencing

options. The Multitrack Loop Recording feature lets you specify a series of measures which will

loop repeatedly as you overdub additional parts. You can jump from track to track to add new

parts without stopping the sequencer.

Multitrack Loop Recording is accessible from Punch-in Record Mode (see the Owner’s Manual,

page 88).

To use Multitrack Loop Recording:

1. Press [RECORD] to enter Song Record

Mode (standby).

2. Press [F8] (Pnch) to select Punch-in

Record.

3. Press [F4] (AllTr) to designate All Track

Record.

4. Position the cursor over the “From”

parameter field and enter the number of

the measure which you want to be the

first measure in the loop.

5. Position the cursor over the “To”

parameter field and enter the number of

the measure which you want to be the

last measure in the loop.

6. Position the cursor over the “Loop”

parameter field and use [INC], [DEC] or

[JOG] to turn the loop on.

7. Press [RUN] to start the recording loop.

You can delete a wrong note while the loop

recording is still active. To do so, simply hold the

Shift button and press the note again when it comes

back around. (Be aware of the limitation in number

of notes that can be recorded based on available

polyphony.)

Note that if All Track Record is not specified, you

can still start loop recording, but you can only

overdub on the currently selected track, and will not

be able to select other tracks without first stopping

the sequencer.

Also note that if you engage loop recording while

Quantize or Playback Effect is selected, these

parameter values will also be recorded in the

designated loop.

Be sure to keep in mind the maximum number of

notes which can be recorded (32 notes), since as

you keep overdubbing notes during loop recording,

you may inadvertently erase existing note data.

ENGLISH

REMIX

Version 2 includes a Remix feature which lets you create an alternate “dub” mix which includes

track solo, mute and other button on/off switchings as the song plays.

Every time you press the Song, Voice, Select, Solo or any of the 16 Track buttons, the W5/W7

generates a corresponding MIDI system exclusive parameter change (“Switch Remote”)

message.

Version 2 lets you record these Switch Remote messages in the sequencer in realtime (or Step

edit) in an empty track so that they will be recalled automatically during song playback. In this

way, you can program track solo, mute and other commands in a Remix version of your song to

achieve a multi-dimensional automated mixdown without changing any of the original note,

controller or other data in the song.

To create a Remix version of the currently

selected song:

1. Select an empty track in the currently

selected song.

2. Press [RECORD], then press [RUN] to

start the recording.

3. Press [SONG], [VOICE], [SELECT],

[SOLO], [TRACK 1~16] and perform any

desired parameter adjustments during

the recording.

Note that during recording any key you press on the

keyboard will also be recorded in the currently

selected track as note data. You will find it most

convenient to keep all Switch Remote messages

together in one track, apart from note and other

data, since it is easier to locate and edit Switch

Remote messages this way.

❑Solo Mode

Recall that when there is sequence data in the

currently selected song, the Track buttons of tracks

which contain data will be lit in green, and the

currently selected Track button will be lit in red. (The

Select button will be lit in green, thus indicating the

W5/W7 is in Track Select Mode; see the Owner’s

Manual, page 74.)

By entering Solo Mode (i.e., by pressing the Solo

button), you can “solo” one or more tracks to hear

them only, thus “muting” the rest. Pressing a Track

button will toggle back and forth between solo (red)

and mute (green) status. Multiple tracks can be

soloed at once.

You can exit Solo Mode and the W5/W7 will still

remember which tracks were soloed and muted the

next time you press the Solo button.

Version 2 also lets you solo, or isolate and play a

single track just by pressing the corresponding Track

button.

To solo, or isolate and play a single track:

Hold [SELECT] and press [SOLO].

In single-track Solo Mode, pressing a Track button

will turn that track on (red light), while turning all

others off (green lights). Thus, you can easily isolate

a single track that you want to examine during

mixdown, or to play by itself during a specific point

in the song when you’re recording a Remix.

Pressing Solo again will return you to the multiple-

track Solo Mode.

NOTE

When deleting switch remote on/off data from a track in Song

Edit Mode, be sure to delete both On and Off commands.

PLAYBACK EFFECT

Version 2 includes a Playback Effect Mode accessible from the Song Sequence Play screen (see

the Owner’s Manual, page 80) that lets you apply various playback-only effects—including

quantization, swing, clock shift, gate time and velocity—to your songs. The actual data in

memory does not change; the only thing modified is the way the data is played back.

The right Playback Effect type can literally breathe new life into your song. You can add a

Playback Effect type to individual tracks or to all tracks and adjust their default parameters at

will. (Note that if you choose another song the Playback Effect parameters will be initialized.

You can, however, apply Playback Effect settings permanently to a song by normalizing them in

Song Job 1 (see page 18).

❑Track Mute

As explained above, Solo Mode lets you toggle back

and forth between solo and mute status when you

press a Track button, and the W5/W7 will remember

the current solo/mute status when entering and

exiting Solo Mode.

Version 2 also lets you enter Solo Mode with all

tracks soloed (you can hear the complete mix, just as

in Track Select Mode), and therefore standing by

ready to be muted.

To enter Mute Mode:

Hold [SOLO] and press [SELECT].

The Track buttons of tracks which contain data will

be lit in red, which means they are all in solo status,

and therefore any Track button you press will mute

that track (indicated by a green light in the Track

button).

NOTE

The VCE_EDIT.A1S file introduces the Remix function. (For

more information, see page 7)

To enter Playback Effect Mode:

1. In Song Sequence Play Mode, hold

[SHIFT] and press [F1] (PEF).

2. Press [F7] (Tr) and a [TRACK] button to

designate a specific track, or press [F8]

(All) to designate all tracks.

3. Select a Playback Effect type with [INC],

[DEC], [JOG], or [KEYPAD].

F7 F8

SHIFT

4. Position the cursor over a parameter and

adjust it as desired.

When you enter Playback Effect Mode (shown as

“Play Effect” in the screen) the type and parameters

screen will be displayed. Moving the cursor to the

right will access the Playback Effect parameters

screen. Likewise, moving the cursor to the left when

the parameters screen is displayed will once again

access the Playback Effect type and depth screen.

ENGLISH

• Type 00~27, **

There are 27 different Playback Effect types. Playback Effect

types 01~27 are those programmed at the factory, whose

parameters you can still adjust at will. If you want to design

your own Playback Effect parameters from scratch, simply

select Playback Effect type “00” (no Playback Effect applied)

and begin adjusting parameters. Note that when you adjust

parameters in any Playback Effect type, these will be stored in

a Playback Effect user memory under the type heading “ ** ”.

• Depth 0~100%

The Playback Effect depth parameter will have a different

effect—such as quantize length, swing velocity, etc.—

depending on which Playback Effect (01~27) is selected.

(For a complete listing of the designated depth parameters for

each type, see the Playback Effect Template Type List on

page 17.)

• Quantize

The Quantize function aligns notes in the specified track to

the nearest beat as designated by the Quantize value and

strength parameters. This is helpful for tightening up sloppy

timing. Note that “perfect” quantization tends to result in an

unnatural, mechanical feel, which may or may not be a good

thing, depending on the type of feel you’re going for.

Val (Value)

“Val” determines to what beats the note data in the

corresponding track will be aligned. If you select “#16th-note#”,

for example, all notes in the track will be aligned to the nearest

16th-note beat, to a degree determined by the strength

parameter, below. You can select a quantize value by pressing

the key in the numeric keypad with the corresponding note value

printed above it. Pressing button 7 more than once toggles

between 8th-note-triplet and 8th-note + 8th-note-triplet, and

pressing button 8 more than once toggles between 16th-note-

triplet and 16th-note + 16th-note-triplet. (For a complete listing

of the quantize parameters for each type, see the Playback Effect

Template Type List on page 17.)

Str (Strength) 0~100%

“Str” determines how strongly the notes are attracted to the

specified quantize value. At a setting of 0%, no quantization will

occur, while a setting of 100% will cause all notes to be aligned

precisely to the nearest specified beat value.

,,,,,,, , ,

• Swing

The Swing effect—which can only be used when the

Quantize function is set to a value other than off—produces a

more natural “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the off-

beats, as specified by the Quantize setting. For example, if

the specified Quantize value is 8th-notes, then the Swing

effect will shift the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each

measure forward to create the swing feel. If the Quantize

value is set to a triplet note length, the last note in each

triplet group will be shifted.

Rate 50~83%

“Rate” determines the strength of the swing feel, or how much

the timing of the affected notes will be shifted. Apply 50% (no

swing) to 75% (maximum swing) for even note lengths; apply

66% to 83% for triplet note lengths; apply 50% to 66% for even-

plus-triplet note lengths (e.g., 8th-note + 8th-note-triplet).

Vel (Velocity) 0~200%

“Vel” determines the relative increase or decrease of the off-beat

velocity value (as set by the Quantize value) in relation to the on-

beat. A setting of 100% will produce no effect, whereas settings

between 0~99% will produce a decrease in the off-beat velocity

value, and settings of 101~200% will produce an increase in off-

beat velocity value.

Gate (Gate Time) 0~200%

“Gate” determines the relative length of the off-beat note

duration (as set by the Quantize value) in relation to the on-beat.

A setting of 100% will produce no effect, whereas settings

between 0~99% will shorten the gate time of the off-beat, and

settings of 101~200% will lengthen the gate time of the off-beat.

• ClockSft (Clock Shift) –99~+99

“ClockSft” determines the amount by which all notes in a

track are shifted in time, forward or backward, by the

specified number of clocks (at 96 clocks per quarter-note).

Note that since the Clock Shift parameters shift the timing of

all notes and other events in the specified track forward or

backward, they can significantly alter the feel of the song.

You could move the notes forward (positive settings) to

create a more laid-back feel, or backward (negative settings)

to produce a more powerful, driving feel. Of course, Clock

Shift comes in extremely handy when you want to correct

timing that is consistently off in the first place.

• Vel.Ofst (Velocity Offset) –99~+99

“Vel.Ofst” determines the amount of velocity change for all

note data by the same relative amount. A setting of 00 will

cause no change, whereas negative values will decrease

velocity levels, and positive values will increase velocity

levels.

• Vel.Rate (Velocity Rate) 0~200%

“Vel.Rate” determines the ratio between the lower and higher

velocity values. A setting of 100% maintains the original

relationship between the notes, while lower values produce a

narrower dynamic range (minimum 1%), and higher values

produce a broader dynamic range (maximum 200%).

• GateRate (Gate Time Rate) 0~200%

“GateRate” determines the ratio between the shorter and

longer gate time values. A setting of 100% maintains the

original relationship between the notes, while lower values

produce a narrower gate time range (minimum 1%), and

higher values produce a broader gate time range (maximum

200%). You can use Gate Time to give the entire pattern a

more staccato or legato feel, as desired.

NOTE

The VCE_EDIT.A1S file introduces the Playback Effect function. (For

more information, see page 7)

❑Normalize Playback Effect

(Song Job 1)

Although the Playback Effects apply to the song

playback only, and do not affect the original song

data, Version 2’s Normalize Playback Effect feature

lets you apply the designated Playback Effects

permanently to the current song. The Normalize

Playback Effect feature is located in Song Job 1 (see

the Owner’s Manual, page 95).

To use Normalize Playback Effect:

1. Press [JOB], then [F2] (Job1) to enter

Song Job 1 Mode.

2. Position the cursor over “Normalize

Effect” and press [ENTER].

3. Press the [TRACK] buttons for those

tracks which you want to apply the

Playback Effects to. (Selected Track

buttons will light in red.)

4. Press [ENTER] to activate Normalize

Playback Effect.

❑Quantize Parameters

(Type, Sens, Strength)

Version 2 includes additional Quantize parameters in

Song Job 3, including Type, Sensitivity, and Strength,

which greatly expand your ability to put just the right

feel into your music.

There are 19 Quantize types, with “00” representing

off, and 01~19 representing the same types as in

Playback Effect Mode (For descriptions of each, refer

to the Playback Effect Template Type List on page 17,

00~19).

The Sensitivity (“Sens”) parameter determines the

range over which notes will be quantized. This

parameter can be set from –100 through 0% (no

quantization) to +100. A setting of either –100% or

+100% will cause all notes to be quantized.

The Strength (“Strng”) parameter determines how

strongly the notes are attracted to the specified

quantize value. At a setting of 0% no quantization

will occur, while a setting of 100% will cause all

notes to be aligned precisely to the nearest specified

beat value.

Note that with Version 2 you can select a quantize

value (“Qunt”) by pressing the button in the numeric

keypad with the corresponding note value printed

above it. Pressing button 7 more than once toggles

between 8th-note-triplet and 8th-note + 8th-note-

triplet, and pressing button 8 more than once toggles

between 16th-note-triplet and 16th-note + 16th-note-

triplet.
