Song Mode and the Song Editor
Song Editor: The COMMON Page
TempoControl
When the current song is composed of other songs entered as steps in the Arrangement Editor,
the TempoControl parameter determines whether the current songÕs tempo setting or the
arranged songsÕ tempo settings will be the tempo(s) used for the playback and recording of the
arrangement.
Set TempoControl to Song if you want to use the current songÕs tempo as the master tempo. All
of the stepsÕ songs will playback at the same tempo, ignoring the tempos originally set for each
song when you recorded or edited them.
Use the Arrangement setting for TempoControl if you would like the current song (containing
arrangement data) to playback and record at the tempos originally deÞned in each arrangement
stepÕs song, ignoring its own tempo setting. The master tempo will change to the tempo of the
current stepÕs song.
TriggerChan
This parameter controls the MIDI channel used to trigger arrangement steps via key presses as
deÞned in the Arrangement Editor.
TriggerCtl
This parameter speciÞes the global control source used to enable the triggering of arrangement
steps via key presses as deÞned in the Arrangement Editor. For example, suppose you set this
parameter to a value of MIDI 29, which by default is the destination of Panel Switch 2
(Button 10). When Panel Switch 2 is on, striking any key in the trigger range (speciÞed by the
LoKey and HiKey parameters on the ARRANGE page). If you set this parameter to ON, striking
a key in the trigger range always triggers a step.
TrackDest
TrackDest|:LLL-|M---|-M--|---x||||||||||
DrumTrack|:D---|----|-D--|----||||||||||
The MIDI data on each track has a destination assignment selectable with the TrackDest
parameter. There are four possible indicators:
Ð: This is the default setting for all tracks in a new song. It means that MIDI data on the track are
transmitted both locally to the K2600, and out the MIDI Out Port on the trackÕs channel to any
external devices.
L: The trackÕs MIDI data will be transmitted locally only, to the K2600Õs internal sound
generator. None of the trackÕs MIDI data will be sent to the MIDI Out Port.
M: The trackÕs MIDI data will be transmitted only to MIDI Out.
x: Disable the transmission of the trackÕs MIDI data either locally or to MIDI. This is a quick way
to mute a track more permanently without erasing it.
DrumTrack
Any of the songÕs tracks can be deÞned as Drum Tracks so that their Note events do not get
transposed when a transposition is applied in the Arrangement Editor.
This feature is particularly useful when a drum kit program (or any other nonpitched program)
is used in a song, assigned to a step of an arrangement, which is being triggered over a range of
12-43
