Recording A Setup To Song Mode
The MIDI output of a setup can be recorded to a song in Song mode. Each MIDI channel that is
output from a setup is recorded into each track of a song (if the tracks have corresponding MIDI
channels.) Programs from each zone of your setup are automatically assigned to tracks in Song
mode. Follow these steps for proper recording of a new song from a setup:

Notes About Recording A Setup To Song Mode
Tempo: The tempo of a setup is set on the SetupMode:COMMON page (see on page 7-47.) If you
plan to record a song from the same setup several times, it is convenient to set your desired
tempo on the SetupMode:COMMON page and save it with your setup. By doing this, you will
not need to reset your setup tempo to the desired song tempo every time you load your setup
(as in step 5, above.)
Riffs: If you are using Riffs in your setup, do the following to make each Riff play at your setup's
tempo (which also becomes your song's tempo.) For each zone that has a riff, go to the
SetupMode:RIFF2 page (see The RIFF2 Page on page 7-54) and set the BPM parameter to Setup.
Remember to save changes to your setup when exiting the Setup Editor.
Effects: When recording a setup into Song mode, the song will not retain the Aux effects settings
of your setup. If you would like your song to use the same effects as your setup, copy the
settings of your setup's FX and AUX1 pages to the FX and AUX1 pages in your song.
Alternatively, playing your song from setup mode will allow you to hear the effects. To do this,
load your song, press the Setup Mode button to enter Setup mode and choose your setup, then
press the Play/Pause button. This will play your song from Setup mode, and the effects will be
intact.

After saving your song, you will be returned to the Song mode MAIN page, where your
saved song will be loaded. You can continue to record or edit the song in Song mode just
as you would with any other song (see Song Mode and the Song Editor on page 10-1.) Each
program from each zone in your setup is automatically assigned to a track (change the
RecTrk parameter in order to record to a single track.) You can also continue to record
from Setup mode by going back to step 3, above. Remember to set the tempo (step 5
above) before recording, as the song tempo will change if your setup is saved with a
different tempo.
