F F 7 7 S S a a v v e e C C h h a a i i n n : : This creates a file with .CHN extension within the same Folder in which the Midi files relative to the chain pro-

grammed are stored.

F10 Select:

This selects the Midi files to be added to the chain.

The procedures required to create a chain of Midi files are the following:

●

Select the Folder in which the Midi files are stored.

●

Press F F 7 7 C C h h a a i i n n E E d d i i t t .

●

Find the first Midi file of the chain using the D D A A T T A A C C U U R R S S O O R R push buttons.

●

Select the Midi file using F F 1 1 0 0 S S e e l l e e c c t t , a number will appear next to the name that indicates the position within the

chain.

●

Find and select the other Midi files that follow.

●

If you make a mistake, find the wrong Midi file and press F F 1 1 0 0 S S e e l l e e c c t t again. The Midi file will be removed from the chain

and the following Midi files will move back by one place.

●

Save the chain using F F 7 7 S S a a v v e e C C h h a a i i n n . From the page called up you can enter the name using the keyboard keys and

the D D A A T T A A C C U U R R S S O O R R push buttons. Confirm using F F 1 1 0 0 E E x x e e c c or cancel using F F 5 5 E E s s c c a a p p e e .

The chain thus created is loaded in Song Play using the Load function from the Disk menu or called up directly from the first page of Song Play,

by entering the number associated with the file chain using the numeric keypad (STYLES push buttons). If you then go to Song Play, the title

of the first Midi file will appear. There are three ways of moving along the chain, namely:

●

Let the Midi files come-in as they end normally and the SD5 will load the next file and reproduce it without any further input.

●

Without starting S S o o n n g g P P l l a a y y using the S S T T A A R R T T push button, use the D D A A T T A A C C U U R R S S O O R R push buttons to select the Midi files of the chain.

●

With Song Play running, press the C C O O U U N N T T / / P P A A U U S S E E / / R R E E S S T T A A R R T T push button and then use the DATA CURSOR push buttons to call up another Midi file.

Once you have found the Midi file, press the C C O O U U N N T T / / P P A A U U S S E E / / R R E E S S T T A A R R T T push button again to start Song Play again with the new Midi file.

Whatever the case, if you stop a Midi file using the S S T T A A R R T T push button, S S o o n n g g P P l l a a y y will loose the data of the chain permanently and you will have

to re-load them. The same applies to all Juke-Box controls, disabled when a chain is in use. Just the words can be displayed.
