Using the Cue List feature – Karma and Triton LE
The Karma Music Workstation offers two very different types of sequencing; Linear sequencing, in
which you record your song tracks straight through, much like in a studio, and Non-linear.
Non-linear sequencing entails chaining the contents of multiple song locations to create a complete
song. In this method, song 1 could contain just the verse, song 2 the chorus, song 3 the bridge, etc.
You could then arrange these mini sequences into a full song using the CUE LIST mode. Cue List is
basically an ordered list of how you want these parts chained, to give you the final arrangement of
your data.
You will first need to record your parts in SEQ mode as separate songs. When you have at least 2
songs, with at least 1 measure each recorded, you can begin creating your Cue List. When finished
creating your Cue List, you may convert it to one completed Song.
NOTE: When creating new songs, make sure you set the song length of each song to only as long as
you need it to be. Keep in mind the default song length is 64 measures. To set/change a song's length:
1. Press the Menu Button.
2. Press the F5 button twice to highlight "Edit"
3. Press the F8 button to enter the Track Edit screen.
4. Press F8 once again to open the menu.
5. Using the cursor buttons, select "Set Song Length".
6. Press F8 to enter the Set Song Length window
7. Using the value wheel slider or buttons, select the song length by measure.
8. Press F8 once again to confirm.
You should repeat this method for each song you intend to use in your Cue List.
To convert a collection of sequences into a full song:
1. Press the SEQ button to enter the Sequencer Mode.
2. Press the Menu button.
3. Press the F2 button until "CUE" is highlighted.
4. Press the F8 button, which corresponds to "Open" on the screen.
5. Press F7, which corresponds to "EDIT" on the screen.
6. Using the value wheel, slider or buttons, select the song you want as the first step.
7. Press F4 to insert that song.
