this might be a silly question but I’m trying to find info on how to change when a note occurs in a pattern without having to re-record the part. In other words,how do I make a note event happen an eighth note earlier or later? What is the gate or clock value for something like that or any other different note value?

thanks in advance for any help!

The XF’s sequencer resolution is 480 ppq (parts per quarter note). So if a quarter note takes 480 clock ticks, then an eighth note would be 240 clocks. I’ll let you figure out others.  :-)

Gate time is how long a note is held. It would typically be less than the full number of clocks for any particular note, since you normally release a key before you hit another, resulting in a bit of “dead” time.

If all you want to do is move a note, rather than change its length, then clocks is what you need to change. Of course, depending on where in a measure the note occurs will determine how easily you can calculate how to move it.

thanks !
