Using Song Position Markers (Midi Song Only) - Yamaha genos Owner's Manual

Using Song Position Markers (MIDI Song only)

Song Position markers (SP1–SP4) can be placed in the MIDI Song data. This not only lets you navigate quickly and eas-
ily through the MIDI Song data, but also lets you set up convenient playback loops—allowing you to create dynamic
Song arrangements "on the fly," as you perform.

Select the desired MIDI Song (page 74), and start playback
(page 78).

When the Song reaches the point at which you wish to enter a marker, touch
the desired marker number ([1]–[4]) on the display.
The corresponding Song Position marker is entered, and Song Position
Memorize is automatically turned off.

As desired, enter other markers in the same way as step 2.

About the status of Song Position [1]–[4]
• Off: Song Position is not entered to the button.
• Green: Song Position is entered to the button.
• Red (flashes): Playback jump is ready. See below ("Jumping to a Song Position Marker during playback").
• Red: The Song Position has been passed and Song playback continues to the next Song button.
Jumping to a Song Position Marker during playback
Simply touching the one of the Song Position [1]–[4] during Song playback jumps to the corresponding position, after
the current played measure reaches its end. (The button will flash in red, indicating that playback jump is ready.) You can
cancel the jump by touching the same Song Position again before the actual jump.
Starting playback from a specific Marker
First, touch one of Song Position [1]–[4] while Song playback is stopped, and then start playback (page 78).
NOTICE
The entered marker settings will
be lost if you change to another
Song or you turn the power off
without executing the Save opera-
tion.
