Tra ck
Track setting s determine the current Free EG track, the
parameter assig ned to each track, and which Scene
the Free EG will play. There are three Track
parameters, including Track N o (N umber), Param
(Parameter) and SceneSw (Switch).
When you start recording the Free EG, the parameter of the first knob you move,
along with the current Scene setting, will be assigned to the track Parameter ( i.e.,
that parameter will be recorded in the track) . This is convenient for initiating a
Free EG recording immediately, without making all settings beforehand.
Tra ck Confirm a nd Assignment Procedure
1 . Using Tra ck N o [UP/ DOW N ], set the tra ck you
w a nt to record or pla y.
2 . Using Pa ra m [UP/ DOW N ], select the pa ra meter
w hich you w a nt to record in the tra ck .
3 . Using SceneSw [UP/ DOW N ], set the Scene
(Scene 1 , Scene 2 , or both Scenes) w hich you
w a nt the Free EG to a ffect.
4 . If necessa ry, repea t steps 1 through 3 , a bove,
for selecting other tra ck s a nd a ssigning
pa ra meters to them.
You cannot assign the same parameter to more than one track. If you attempt
to do so, the latest recorded track takes priority, while other tracks will
automatically be turned off for the Scene Switch.
