which controller data will be used when the song is played.
The Song Edit button is DISABLED unless you are in Song Mode.
An PX-7 Song is a one track sequence of any length. Pattern Play events will
typically be recorded into a song so that specific patterns will begin playing
at specific bar locations (only one pattern can play at a time). Note-on/off,
controller and program change information can also be recorded into the
Song track.
Songs can be named with up to 16 characters. Position the cursor under the
character location and use the data entry control to change the character.

This function determines how certain controls programmed into the
pattern will be used in the song.
Event Source is a playback filter. Realtime Song data will be recorded
regardless of the Event Source settings, but it might be confusing if you
don't hear what you just recorded. Therefore, it's always a good idea to
check the Event Source settings before recording realtime song data.
• Tempo
• Preset (program change)
• Volume
• Pan
• Mix
• Arp
• Master Effects (FX)
For each type of control listed above, you can choose one of these options:
• Song Events Only Uses song events; ignores pattern events
• 1st Pattern Only
• All Patterns
• Song & Patterns
The song and pattern option makes the song track extremely flexible
because the song track can be used for volume mixing, realtime control or
lead lines over a traditional pattern-based song structure. The song and
pattern option also allows presets to be selected correctly when using
channels 1B-16B for song events.
Uses events from the 1st pattern; ignores song events
Uses the events programmed into each pattern
Uses both song and pattern events
