value to) the start times of notes. This effectively shortens or lengthens the
selected section without changing the tempo. The scale function is
performed before the shift value is added.
Scale - Multiplies all note start times by a percentage from 0% to 800%.
Scaling by 100% would leave all note start times untouched.
Scaling by 50% would shorten the section by one half.
Shift - Adds or subtracts a specific offset in quarter notes and ticks to
note-on events in the selected tracks.
Events shifted past the end of the sequence will be deleted on
save only. That is, if you change your mind, you can slide
events back into the playing loop. Events shifted earlier than
tick 0 for notes and tick 1 for events will clip at that tick, possi-
bly bunching up events.
Tips & Tricks
• In addition to the percentages, certain exact ratios are provided and are
displayed as fractions. (2/3, 4/3, 5/3, 8/3, 10/3, 20/3) These ratios are
To Scale or Shift Note Start Times:
1. Select the pattern you wish to edit.
2. Press the Pattern Edit button.
3. Scroll to the Scale/Shift Start Times screen shown below using the data
entry control.
4. Select the amount of note start time scaling or shift (offset). The
Home/Enter LED will be flashing once the cursor is moved to the lower
line of the display.

Ok, I got all that. but shifting 00.000 say to 01.000 would be equivalent to what? pulling at 1/16th's?
this is more of a music theory question verses a question on the CS.
anyone know what i am talking about?

Atom - "i don't spend time in step mode, but in "Grid Record" you can edit the
gate time for each note. pg 70-71 (pdf 82-83)."actually messing with that parameter just changes the duration of the note/step. i was talking offsetting or initiating delay or pre-delay or pushing and pulling that particular track. no you cannot drill down on a note and move that actual step. it's not possible on the CS.
but if you want to shift a whole entire track you can, but not one step in particular.
my PX-7 is having some surgery done and it won't be back in my paws till next weekend. so I'm remembering playing with Shift and then having all the parameters parameters to move the track back or forward. i guess it's cool that it's so finite, but i wish there was a way to be able to move it 1/32nds or 1/16th's in delay verses having the whole bar:beat:tick parameters in front of me.
this is how you create shuffle if you program on even notes, such as 2,4.6, etc by track shifting (or delaying the track). so my question is.... what actually are the values when playing with the data encoder? i hate it when i cannot figure stuff by myself quickly. so pushing an entire measure would be equivalent to what? does anyone have a break down of what the CS is doing? sorry, i wouldn't have to ask if my unit was next to me.
