Just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to insert or delete a partial (half) measure into a recorded track in the Song Mode.  Obviously, this can be easily done with the Job function with whole measures but due to a screw-up I made using a 16 beat drum pattern with a standard drum pattern, I need to make up some time in the track so that the fills and timing are corrected, etc.  Please don’t ask why or how I did this, I’m an idiot : ( When I delete or add a whole measure, I am always 2 beats off either way in the timing of the song.  I’ve been looking through the reference manual but cannot find anything on this particular issue.  Any ideas out there?  Thanks.

Hi Jeff -

See thread 470498.  I had the same issue and got some great advice to solve the issue.  Let me know if you can’t figure it out.

Thank you both for the info and link to the earlier thread.  I will play around with my recorded drum pattern in the chain mode as you suggested and see if I can fix my blunder.  I will get back to you if I still have problems.  Thanks again.

David and 5Pin, just letting you know I figured out another way to correct this timing issue.  I just turned off the Arp hold function when I recorded the arp drum patterns and just held down a key on the keyboard to keep the patterns playing then I simply lifted my finger off, switched the SF button the the next desired arp pattern while counting exactly 2 beats and pressed a key down to start up the arp again.  It actually worked pretty good because the timing conflict occurs at the end of each chorus so this gives a sort of “dramatic pause” feel to the change into the verses.  Whatever works right?  I appreciate your suggestions.

Yes - there are often more ways than one to accomplish something, and frequently no “right” or “wrong” method. Thanks for posting your approach to it.
