3.Press the Quantize function key (F1). The following screen appears.
4.Select the Start and End time in bars/beats/ticks using the cursor keys to select the field and the Data Entry Control or INC/DEC keys to change the selection.
•Press the All Time function key to select everything in the selected track(s).
5.Select the range of tracks to be quantized.
•Press the All Trks function key to select all tracks.
6.Select the Quantize Amount. The selected section can be quantized to: 1/4 notes, 1/4 note triplets, 1/8 notes, 1/8 note triplets, 1/16 notes, 1/16 note triplets, 1/32 notes, 1/32 note triplets, 1/64 notes or 1/64 note triplets.
7.Select the Swing Percentage if desired. (50% = Off).
8.Turn Duration On or Off as desired.
9.Press OK to Quantize or Cancel to cancel the operation.
Transpose
This function allows you to transpose a section of a track up or down in semitone increments. The range of transposition is ±128 semitones.

v To Transpose a Section:
1.From the Sequencer Manage screen, press the Edit function key (F3).
2.Press the Tools function key (F2). A second row of function keys appears.
3.Press the Transpose function key (F2). The screen shown above appears.
4.Select the Start and End time in bars/beats/ticks using the cursor keys to select the field and the Data Entry Control or INC/DEC keys to change the selection.
•Press the All Time function key to select everything in the selected track.
5.Select the range of Tracks to be transposed by setting the Start and End tracks.
6.Select the Transpose Amount. The selected section can be transposed from -128 to +127 semitones.
7.Press OK to Transpose or Cancel to cancel the operation.
Sequence Velocity
This utility alters the velocity of recorded tracks and is a very powerful tool, allowing you to adjust the expression of many notes in one operation.
Velocity values can be scaled by a percentage amount or a fixed offset can be added to them. To illustrate the difference, suppose a note has a velocity of 50 and the Sequence Velocity Amount is set to 10. Using Offset would add 10 to 50 for a new velocity of 60. Using Percentage would increase the velocity by 10% of its original value. 10% of 50 = 5, resulting in a new velocity of 5.
v To Change the Velocity:
1.From the main sequencer screen, press the Edit function key (F3).
2.Press the Tools function key (F2). A second row of function keys appears.
3.Press the Velocity function key (F3). The screen shown above appears.

4.Select the Start and End time in bars/beats/ticks using the cursor keys to select the field and the Data Entry Control or INC/DEC keys to change the selection.
•Press the All Time function key to select everything in the selected track.
5.Select the range of Tracks to be velocity scaled. Press the All Trks function key to select all tracks.
6.Select the Type of scaling (Percentage or Offset).
7.Select the Velocity Amount. Percentages range from 0% to 200%. You can offset the velocity from -127 to +127.
8.Press OK to change the Velocity or Cancel to cancel the operation.
Channelize
This tool lets you change the MIDI channel of a previously recorded track or section of a track. If the track contains multiple channels, they will all be converted to the new channel.
v To Channelize a Track:
1.From the main sequencer screen, press the Edit function key (F3).
2.Press the Tools function key (F2). A second row of function keys appears.
3.Press the Chnlize function key (F4). The screen shown above appears.
4.Select the Start and End time in bars/beats/ticks. Use the cursor keys to select the field and the Data Entry Control or INC/DEC keys to change the selection. Press the All Time function key to select everything in the selected track.
5.Select the Track to be channelized.
6.Select the new Channel number.
7.Press OK to Channelize or Cancel to cancel the operation.

Channel Extract
Channel Extract
Use this tool when you want to separate individual MIDI channels from a multichannel track. After Channel Extraction, each MIDI channel in the multichannel track is assigned to its own new track.
v To Extract a Channel from a Track:
1.From the main sequencer screen, press the Edit function key (F3).
2.Press the Tools function key (F2). A second row of function keys appears.
3.Press the Extract function key (F5). The screen shown above appears.
4.Select the Track you want extracted.
5.Press OK to Extract the Channels or Cancel to cancel the operation. Each MIDI channel in the multichannel track is assigned to a new track number.

Setup
O Use the Previous and Next Page keys to move back and forth through the Setup menus.
Setup
The Setup menu contains mostly pre-sequence setup options such as the metronome, tempo, input quantize, sequence looping, etc. It also contains the MMC transport controls which can be used to control digital recorders and tape machines.
The Setup submodule contains the following functions:
Metronome . Sets the metronome to play internal sounds or external MIDI instruments or both. It also allows you to select a MIDI channel, preset, note number, beat value and two velocities for the metronome tick.
Tempo. Sets the tempo, meter, and clock type. You can also turn MIDI Clock Out on or off.
Input Quantize. Lets you quantize and add swing to tracks as they are recorded. This is very useful when creating percussion tracks.
Record Options. Recording can be set to start when the sequence starts, after a specified number of lead-in beats or on the first note played.
Looping. The sequence can be made to continuously loop or to stop at the end of the song.
Transport. The MMC transport allows you to control an external 48 track recorder from the EOS panel. The internal sequencer can also be controlled from this screen.
v To Access the Sequencer Setup Menu:
1.From the Sequence Manage screen, press the Edit key. The Sequence Edit screen appears.
2.Press the Setup function key (F3). Another row of function keys appears with the Sequencer Setup options.

Metronome
Metronome
The metronome provides an accurate beat for recording and is especially important when Quantizing since notes are quantized according to the metronome's clock.
This screen lets you choose the MIDI channel, preset, note number and accent velocity for the metronome sound.
Metronome . When in Internal mode, an onboard preset is used to produce the metronome sound. In External mode, the metronome generates a MIDI note to play the metronome note on an external synthesizer.
State . The metronome state determines whether the metronome will play when recording, in playback, or in record and play modes (both).
Preset. Selects the internal preset that the metronome uses when set to internal mode. A percussion instrument, such as a woodblock or rimshot, would be a good choice for the metronome sound, although any sound with a sharp attack can be used.
MIDI Note/Channel. Selects the note that will be used for the metronome sound. Select a MIDI channel if you are using an external MIDI instrument for the metronome sound.
Vel 1st/Other. This parameter allows you to set the velocity value for the first beat and subsequent beats in the measure. The first note is normally set to a higher velocity in order to identify the start of each measure. Note: The preset must have velocity programmed for this feature to work correctly.
Division. Division sets the meter for the metronome beats. Choose from Quarter notes, Eighth notes, or Sixteenth notes.
