MIDI Player
500
Center Key
Determines the MIDI note that is used as the central position for the Transpose
function.
Sync
Synchronizes the phrase to the tempo of your host application.
NOTE
In addition, you can set Restart Mode to Sync to Host. This aligns the phrase with
the beats and measures of your host application.
Tempo
If Sync is deactivated, you can use the Tempo control to set the internal playback
speed of the MIDI Player.
Tempo Scale
Defines the rate at which notes are triggered, that is, the speed at which the
phrase is running. In addition to the Tempo parameter, this gives you further
control over the playback speed. You can specify a value in fractions of beats. You
can also set dotted and triplet note values.
For example, if you change the Tempo Scale setting from 1/16 to 1/8, the speed
is cut in half. If you set it to 1/32, the speed is doubled. Other values increase or
decrease the speed accordingly.
Swing
Shifts the timing of notes on even-numbered beats. This way, the phrase gets
a swing feeling. Negative values shift the timing backward, and the notes are
played earlier. Positive values shift the timing forward, and the notes are played
later.
Gate Scale
Allows you to shorten or lengthen the notes of the phrase. At a value of 100
%,
the notes play with their original gate length.
Vel Scale
Allows you to raise or lower the note-on velocities of the phrase. At a value of 100
%, the notes are played with their original velocity.
Quantize
Allows you to set up a quantization grid in fractions of beats. You can also specify
dotted and triplet values.
Amount
Determines how much of the quantization grid is applied. For example, a value
of 100
% means that the MIDI note events play back only at the specified quantize
note values. Lower values move the notes only partially towards the next quantize
note value. With a value of 0
%, no quantization is applied.
