Does anyone know how to shorten a midi note from grid edit? (or anywhere else). Right now I'm just having to avoid time correct entirely to force the cutting off of notes.

Reason: I have a Juno 106 (poly analog) that I mainly use for bass. But the synth doesn't have a 'mono' mode that only allows 1 note to be played. Whenever I sequence with the MP, the 2nd note played will slightly overlap with the first. And it kills the transient of the 2nd note if I just want that one to be played.

Try this:

1. Press [OVER DUB]
2. [STEP] > to the note
3. F5 (EDIT)
4. [CURSOR] -> right to the D field
5. [DATA] to the left to lower the duration

Mode + Pad13 takes you to the Seq Edit function. Select Edit: Duration and set Mode: To Next Note. If it still overlaps, you can immediately set Mode: Sub Value and shorten incrementally.

also you can use step edit and highlight D: for duration. And you can also set Q-link slider in the grid edit mode to set length of MIDI note when entered. Do this at start to effectively remove your problem

I used the TO NEXT NOTE method, and noticed that in [SHIFT] + F2 (ALL) mode it doesn't draw the notes correctly, where some of them are longer than to the next note.
