First thing about editing your song is that you HAVE to move the song to your computer. So, if you're using the on-board sequencer in the Motif, save it as a .mid file, and transfer it to the computer.

Once it's in the computer, open it with PowerTracks Pro Audio.

I don't have PTPA installed on my computer any more, but RealBand will work in the same way.

Click on a track that you want to edit, and then click the Piano Roll icon.

Another window will open. In this window, on the left side, will be a keyboard. As you scroll to the right, you will see bars at various heights and various lengths. These are your notes. Press Play.

You'll notice that as the time cursor moves to the right that each of the bars will turn a color. That indicates which note is playing. You can put your mouse cursor in the middle of the note, and then click. That allows you to drag the note up and down the keyboard, until you get where you want to go. Clicking on the right side of the note will bring you a single ended arrow and this allows you to lengthen or shorten the note. Clicking on the left side of the note allows you to move the entire note forward and backward in time.

Down below are a bunch of vertical lines, and depending on what you have selected in the Controller menu, labeled View/Edit (i.e., Velocity) these are the Common Controller values, which allow you to set Velocity, Expression, Modulation, etc.

That's the quick and dirty introduction to the Piano Roll editing window. In my opinion, much faster and easier, and more visual than using the notation window for editing.

However, the key is that you have to move the song file to the computer, and open it with PowerTracks.

In fact, you should be doing all of your recording in PowerTracks and not using the on-board sequencer at all.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
