Song Mode
The MAIN Page
by the MIDI channel volumes in the previously played song. If you are in Song mode and
you load a song that does not have initial volumes without playing another song first, each
MIDI channel will have the volume settings last used in Program mode (set by any MIDI
volume messages (CC 7) received while in Program Mode).
Pan
You can set an initial pan position (the balance between the Left and Right audio channels)
for the playback and recording of each track as a value between 0 and 127. A value of 64 is
center. If the channel of the Rec Track or the control channel contains any panning events
(continuous controller 10), the change will be reflected as the Pan parameter's value in real
time, as well as on the MIXER page. Also, changing the Pan value while recording will write
Pan automation (CC 10 messages) to the current Rec Track's event list.
Initial Pan Settings
Each song file does not automatically save your Pan setting for each track. To make a song
save your Pan settings for each track, you must write an initial Pan value for each track.
Initial Pan is the Pan setting that will be used when your song is played back from the start
of bar 1. An initial Pan setting is essentially a Pan automation message that is written before
the first tick of a track. Initial Pan settings are not automatically written during recording
because they make it harder to try out different Pan settings for a track. For example, an
initial Pan setting will reset any Pan adjustments that you make during playback each time
the song is stopped and played from the start of bar 1, or if the song is stopped and played
from any point if the Control Chase parameter set to On on the Song MISC page (see "The
MISC Page" on page 8-17). If you plan to try out different pan positions, it is easier if you
write an initial Pan after you have found the desired setting.
Setting Initial Pan Per Track
Follow these steps to change the current Rec Track's initial Pan. While the song is stopped,
press the RECORD button, change the value of Pan, press the STOP button, and save the
song. Use the same method to quickly set initial program or volume settings. Initial program,
pan, and volume can also be set at the top of each track's event list (see "The EVENT Page"
on page 8-36).
Setting Initial Values For All Tracks
An important last step before saving a finished song is to store initial values of Program,
Volume and Pan for all tracks. This can be done at any time, but is best done as a last step if
you plan to make a lot of adjustments to these settings. To write initial settings for all tracks,
press the KEEP soft button on the Song Mixer page (see "The MIXER Page" on page 8-14).
After pressing the KEEP soft button you must save your song to save these settings. Pressing
the KEEP soft button stores the current value of each track's Program, Volume and Pan
settings as initial settings. Be sure that these values on each track are set to the value that you
wish to store, as the settings may have changed if you have written any automation.
