Metron; Song Mode: The Mixer Page; Out - Kurzweil PC3 Musician's Manual Addendum

Song Mode and the Song Editor

Song Mode: The MIXER Page

For example, letʹs say you have a recorded a four bar drum loop and now want to record an
eight bar bass line. This would be a situation where UnLoop would come in handy. While the
drum track keeps looping, the bass track will record in linear fashion, and the end point will be
moved to the point at which you press Stop. Actually, the drum track will also change. It will
play through its loop twice, but while the information is repeating in the loop, it will be
recorded to the track. So now if you look at the drum track, you will see information in bars 5‐8
(a duplicate of the information in bars 1‐4).

Metron

The Metron parameter determines the recording modes in which the metronome will play. With
Metro set to Off, the metronome doesnʹt play at all. With Metron set to Rec, the metronome only
plays while recording is in progress. With Metron set to Always, the metronome plays during
playback and recording. With Metronome set to CountOff, the metronome plays only during
count off (if the CountOff parameter on the Metro page is set to something other than Off.)

Out

Use the Out parameter to set the rear panel audio outputs used for each track of the current
song. This parameter determines the output settings for the main program signal and insert
effects of each track (for Aux effects output settings, use the Output parameter on the Song
Mode AUX1 or AUX2 pages.)
A setting of Auto will make that track output audio based on the settings for the program used
by that track. Program output settings are set in the Program Editor using the Output parameter
on the top line of PROG FX page (see Output on page 2‐1 for details) or the Output parameter on
the top line of LAYER FX page (see the PC3 Musician's Guide for details.) A setting of Pri.
(primary) will output track audio to the MAIN Balanced Analog Outputs. A setting of Sec.
(secondary) will output track audio to the AUX Balanced Analog Outputs.
