Song Mode and the Song Editor
Song Editor: The TRACK Page
For each function, there is a set of parameters to control how the function operates, and on what
region of the selected track(s). As usual, the top line of this page displays the selected track or
tracks. Select the available current track(s) for editing by using the CHANNEL/LAYER/ZONE
buttons. Press both of the CHANNEL/LAYER/ZONE buttons together to select All tracks.
Below is an example of the TRACK page for the Bounce function.
You will notice that the page is divided into two halves, with the right half being a separate box
This is called the Region/Criteria box. The parameters in this box are used to select the range of
events (from a start Bar and Beat to and end Bar and Beat) for modification, as well as which
types of events function will affect.
The parameters in this box will generally be the same for most functions. For some functions,
however, some parameters may not apply. For example, Quantize and Transpose apply only to
notes, while Remap applies only to Controllers. In addition to the Region/Criteria box
parameters, the Locate parameter is also found on each function.
Since these parameters are common to most Track functions, we will define them first. Then we'll
describe the individual functions along with the parameters specific to each, which are normally
found on the left side of the page. The function Quantize has unique parameter in its Region/
Criteria boxes. We'll describe those parameters along with the functions.
Once you've chosen a function and set the parameters to your liking, press Go. This executes the
editing function. You can then play the sequence to hear the results of your edit. If you don't like
your edit, simply exit the editor and press No when you are asked if you want to save. If you do
like your edit, you can press Done and then Save, or just exit the editor and save the changes. Or,
you can go to another edit function. Keep in mind though, that if you choose to perform more
than one edit without saving, and you are not satisfied with one of the changes you make, you
will have to exit the editor without saving and then redo each of the changes you made. That's
why it's usually best to save after each successful edit.
Common Parameters for Edit Song: Track Functions
Locate
This parameter is available for every function on the TRACK page. It appears at the lower left
hand corner of the page.
The Locate bar, beat, and tick will change in real time during playback and recording to reflect
the song's current position. It can be set to any bar, beat, and tick, includitemng negative values.
Playback begins at this position, and Stop resets the song to this position.
