Song Mode and the Song Editor
Song Mode: The MAIN Page
Pressing PlyOld will play the current song, minus the performance that you just recorded. You
can toggle between Play Old and Play New without restarting the song by pressing either
button while the song is playing. This is useful to check if your last performance was better or
worse than what was previously saved (if anything was previously saved.)
The Locate field allows you choose a start time for the old or new playback. This is useful when
you just want to hear a certain part of the song without listening to the whole thing. The Playing
field displays whether to NEW or OLD data is playing.
Stop halts the playback of either the Old or the New version of the song you are currently
auditioning. This also resets the song's start location to either the default Bar 1, Beat 1 value, or
to whatever location you defined in the Locate field.
Pressing Retry restarts recording from the same point you last started recording at.
Yes saves the song with the performance you just recorded. Whatever was played back when
you pressed PlayNew will be the version of the song saved when you press Yes. The "save as"
dialog will be displayed:
Use the Alpha Wheel, ‐/+ buttons, or Alphanumeric Pad to choose a free ID# location to save the
song, or choose a used ID# location to overwrite a previously saved song with your new version.
When overwriting a song file, the "save as" dialog displays "Replace" followed by the name of
the file being replaced. Press Rename if you would like to change the song's name. Press Save to
save the song, or Cancel to return to the previous screen.
If you decide not to save or rename, No returns you to the Song‐mode page in which you were
last recording. Changes to the current song are not saved, though the sequencer will remember
changes to certain settings from the MAIN and BIG pages. These settings are Tempo, Merge/
Erase Mode, Locate, track mute status, Time In, Time Out, Song End, Loop, Punch, and Metron.
To permanently save these changes with the song, make sure to choose Save from the soft
button menu before powering off or loading a new song. Alternatively, you will be prompted to
save these changes upon loading a new song if the MAIN page settings were changed while
recording or with recording armed, or if any of the BIG page settings were changed.
For more detailed instructions, see Saving and Naming on page 5‐3.
