Song Mode and the Song Editor
Song Mode: The MAIN Page
Pan settings without playing another song first, the Pan of the MIDI channel for each track is set
depending on which mode you enter Song mode from. If you enter Song mode from MIDI
mode, Program mode, or Quick Access mode, the Pan of each MIDI channel is set in MIDI mode
on the Channels page. If you enter Song mode from Setup mode, the Pan of each MIDI channel
is set if a zone uses the same MIDI channel on the SetupMode CH/PROG page (set with the
Channel parameter.) If a zone does use a MIDI channel that one of the tracks in your song uses,
the Pan of that track will be set by the ExitPan parameter of that zone (on the SetupMode:PAN‐
VOL page.) If multiple zones use the same MIDI channel, the ExitPan of the highest numbered
zone that uses that channel will set the Pan for tracks that use that channel. If ExitPan is set to
NONE, the value for EntryPan is used. If EntryPan and ExitPan are set to NONE, then the track
for that channel uses the Pan setting of that channel in MIDI mode on the Channels page. If there
is no zone that uses certain channels used by your song, then those channels in your song will
use the Pan setting of those channels in MIDI mode on the Channels page.
Mode
If Mode is set to Merge you will be able to overdub when recording on a track containing
previously recorded data. You'll usually want to set Mode to Merge when RecMode (on the BIG
page) is set to Loop. Otherwise, each time through the loop, the previously recorded
information will be erased.
If you set Mode to Erase, the previously recorded data on the record enabled track will be
replaced with the new data only during the Bars and Beats you are actually recording, and the
previously recorded data before and after the newly recorded Bars and Beats will be preserved.
Location (Locat)
The Bar and Beat displayed as the Locate value changes relative to current location of the song
during playback and recording. You can set this to a negative Bar and Beat location to start
playback a set length of time before the beginning of the song.
Whenever you set the Locate point, that location will be used as the return point when Stop is
pressed. Simply press Stop again to reset the song to the top (1 : 1).
Mode Indicators (+ and x):
Mode Indicators appear only for tracks that already contain data.
A plus sign (+) appears above the Track Status Indicator of a track set to record (R) when the
Mode parameter is set to Merge.
An (x) appears above the Track Status Indicator of a track set to Record (R) when the Mode
parameter is set to Erase.
Activity Indicators
A small square above the Track Status Indicator of a track set to Play (P) or Mute (M) means the
track contains data.
During playback and recording, the indicators above tracks containing any MIDI data will flash
a small, filled‐in square when any MIDI activity is detected.
Track Status Indicators
Using the Up, Down, Left, and Right cursor buttons to position the cursor onto a Track Status
Indicator, you can toggle an empty track (–) into Record (R) with the Alpha Wheel or Plus/
Minus buttons.
Once a track contains data, it will have a (P) as a Track Status Indicator, and it will be played
during playback. You now will be able to toggle between Play (P), Mute (M), and Record (R).
