● [F2]-01 Quantize
Quantization is the process of adjusting the timing 
of note events by moving them closer to the nearest 
exact beat. You can use this feature, for example, to 
improve the timing of a performance recorded in 
real time.
• Quantize Value (Resolution)
Determines to what beats the note data in the specified 
track will be aligned.
❏Settings
• Strength
The Strength value sets the “strength” by which note 
events are pulled toward the nearest quantize beats.
A setting of 100% produces exact timing. A setting of 0% 
results in no quantization.
❏Settings 000 %~100 %
• SwingRate
Delays notes on even-numbered beats (backbeats) to 
produce a swing feel. 
For example, if the meter is 4/4 and the quantize value is 
quarter notes, the 2nd and 4th beats of the measure will be 
delayed.
When a triplet quantize value is used, the last note of each 
triplet is delayed. 
When the quantize value is   or  , even-numbered 
 or   beats will be delayed.
❏Settings See below. If the quantize v
alue is  :50%~75% A setting of 100% is equivalent to twice the length of the 
specified quantize value. A setting of 50% produces exact 
timing and therefore no swing feel. Settings above 51% 
increase the amount of swing, with 75% being equivalent 
to a dotted-note delay.
If the quantize v
alue is  :66%~83%A setting of 100% is equivalent to three times the length of 
the specified quantize value. A setting of 66% produces 
exact timing and therefore no swing feel. Settings above 
67% increase the amount of swing, with 83% being 
equivalent to a sextuplet delay. 
If the quantize v
alue is  :50%~66%A setting of 100% is equivalent to twice the length of a d 
or d note. A setting of 50% produces exact timing and 
therefore no swing feel. Settings above 51% increase the 
amount of swing, with 66% being equivalent to a triplet 
delay.
nIf a swing value other than 100% results in notes 
being positioned after other non-swing notes, the 
latter notes are delayed accordingly. 
• GateTime 
Determines the gate time (the length of time a note 
sounds) of the even-numbered backbeat notes to enhance 
the swing feel.
When a triplet quantize value is used, the gate time of the 
last note of each triplet is adjusted. 
When the quantize value is   or  , the gate time of the 
even-numbered  or   beats will be adjusted. 
A setting of 100% leaves the original gate time unchanged. 
If an adjusted gate time value is less than 1, the MOTIF 
sets the value to 1.

● [F2]-02 Modify Velocity
This job alters the velocity values of the specified 
range of notes, letting you selectively boost or cut  
the volume of those notes.
Velocity changes are calculated as follows:
Adjusted velocity 
= (original velocity  x  Rate) + Offset.
If the result is 0 or less, the value is set to 1. If the 
result is higher than 127, the value is set to 127.
• Set All 
Sets the velocities of all target notes to the same fixed value 
(1 to 127). When set to “OFF” the Set All parameter has 
no effect. When set to a value other than  “OFF” the Rate 
and Offset parameters are unavailable and appear as “***” 
on the display. 
❏Settings OFF(0), 001~127
• Rate 
Determines the percentage by which the target notes will 
be shifted from their original velocities.
Settings below 100% reduce the velocities, and settings 
above 100% increase the velocities proportionately. When 
the Set All parameter is not “OFF” this parameter appears 
as “***” and cannot be changed.
❏Settings 000% ~ 200%, ***
• Offset 
Adds a fixed value to the Rate-adjusted velocity values.
A setting of 0 produces no change. Settings below 0 reduce 
the velocities, and settings above 0 increase the velocities. 
When the Set All parameter is not “OFF” this parameter 
appears as “***” and cannot be changed.
❏Settings -127 ~ +127, ***
● [F2]-03 Modify Gate Time
This job alters the gate times of the specified range 
of notes. Gate time changes are calculated as 
follows:
Adjusted gate time 
= (original gate time  x  Rate) + Offset.
If the result is 0 or less, the value is set to 1.
• SetAll 
Sets the gate times of all target notes to the same fixed 
value. When set to “OFF” the Set All parameter has no 
effect. When set to a value other than  “OFF” the Rate and 
Offset parameters are unavailable and appear as “***” on 
the display. 
❏Settings Off (0), 0001 ~ 9999
• Rate 
Determines the percentage by which the gate time of the 
target notes will be changed.
Settings below 100% shorten the notes, and settings above 
100% lengthen the notes proportionately. When the Set 
All parameter is not “OFF” this parameter appears as 
“***” and cannot be changed.
❏Settings 000% ~ 200%, ***
• Offset
Adds a fixed value to the Rate-adjusted gate time values.
A setting of 0 produces no change. Settings below 0 
shorten the gate time, and settings above 0 lengthen the 
gate time. When the Set All parameter is not “OFF” this 
parameter appears as “***” and cannot be changed.

● [F2]-04 Crescendo
This Job lets you create a crescendo or decrescendo 
over the specified range of notes. (Crescendo is a 
gradual increase in volume, and decrescendo is a 
gradual decrease.)
• Velocity Range
Determines the intensity of the crescendo or decrescendo.
The velocity values of the notes in the specified range are 
gradually increased or decreased starting at the first note 
in the range. The velocity of the last note in the range 
becomes the original velocity of the note plus the Velocity 
Range value. If the resultant velocity is outside the 1 ~ 
127 range it is set to 1 or 127 accordingly. Settings greater 
than 0 produce a crescendo, and settings less than 0 
produce a decrescendo. A setting of 0 produces no effect.
❏Settings -127 ~ +127
● [F2]-05 Transpose
Transpose lets you change the key or pitch of the 
notes in the specified range.
• Note 
Determines the range of note pitches over which the job is 
applied.You can set this parameter by pressing the desired 
key while holding the [INFORMATION] button. 
❏Settings C-2 ~ G8
• Transpose 
Transposes notes in the specified range (in semitones). A 
setting of +12 transposes up one octave, while a setting of 
-12 transposes down an octave. A setting of 0 produces no 
change.
❏Settings -127 ~ +127
● [F2]-06 Glide
The Glide Job replaces all notes following the first 
note in the specified range with pitch bend data, 
producing smooth glides from note to note. This is 
ideal for producing guitar-like slide or note-bending 
effects.
• GlideTime 
Determines the length of the glide. Higher values produce 
a longer glide between notes.
❏Settings 000~100
• PB Range (Pitch Bend Range)
Determines the maximum pitch bend range to be applied 
by the glide job (in semitones).
❏Settings 01~24
● [F2]-07 Create Roll 
This Job creates a series of repeated notes (like a 
drum roll) in the specified range with the specified 
continuous changes in clock step and velocity. This 
is ideal for creating fast staccato rolls and special 
stuttering effects.
• Roll Step
Determines the size of the step (i.e. the number of clocks) 
between each note in the roll. Both the starting and ending 
clock values can be specified, making it easy to create rolls 
in which the step size varies from note to note.

● [F2]-08 Sort Chord
This job sorts chord events (simultaneous note 
events) by order of pitch. The sort affects the order 
of the notes in the Event List display (page 190), but 
does not change the timing of the notes.
When used to pre-process chords before using the 
Chord Separate job (described later), Chord Sort can 
be used to simulate the “stroke” or strumming 
sound of guitars and similar instruments.

over the selected range.
Keep in mind that this operation affects all event 
timing, note step times, and note gate times.

nOnly MIDI data is affected by this job. Sample 
voices are not expanded or compressed. However, 
for samples recorded using the Slice+Seq feature, 
the Beat Stretch job expands or compresses the 
timing of the note data, step times, and gate times 
that control playback of the sliced samples. The 
sample voice itself is not affected.
