Creating and playing a Cue List

A cue list allows you to play multiple songs in succes-
sion. For example you can create a separate song for
each portion (introduction, melody A, melody B,
bridge, and ending) of a composition, and use the cue
list to specify the order of each portion and the number
of times that it will be repeated to complete the song.
You can also use this as a jukebox function that will
playback completed songs in the order you specify.
Cue List
Step Song Repeat
01 S000: Intro 02
02 S001: A 02
Bridge
03 S002: B 01
04 S003: Bridge 02
A(Solo) Bridge Bridge Bridge Ending Ending
05 S001: A 02
06 S002: B 01
07 S003: Bridge 02
08 S001: A (Solo) 01
09 S003: Bridge 03
10 S004: Ending 02
As an example, we will explain the procedure for creat-
ing individual songs for the introduction, melody A,
melody B, bridge, and ending, and then using a cue list
to bring these songs together to form a complete song.
1 Create separate songs for the introduction, melody
A, melody B, bridge, and ending.
S000: Intro (4 measures)
S001: A (8 measures)
S002: B (8 measures)
S003: Bridge (8 measures)
S004: Ending (4 measures)
* In Step 08, S001: A (Solo) is an example of how you can
select S001:A, and then after the cue list is complete, use the
utility menu command "Convert to Song" to convert the cue list
to a song, and add a solo performance to the vacant track.
Record the song with the above structure.
When doing so, first create the program settings,
track settings, and effect settings for one song (e.g.,
S000), and then use the SEQ 1.1 utility menu com-
mand "Copy From Song" to copy these settings to
the other songs (S001–S004).
Keep the track settings unified as far as possible.
After the cue list is completed, you can convert it
into a song. When this is done, the track settings of
each song (program, pan, volume etc.) will be con-
verted into musical data and reproduced, but
unless the MIDI channel settings are the same, the
resulting song may not be the same as the cue list
playback.
2 Select SEQ 2.1: Cue List.
With the default settings, song S000 will be selected
for "Step" 01, and End will be selected for "Step" 02.
