Song Mode: The MAIN Page
Pan Sources When An Initial Pan Is Not Set
If an initial Pan is not stored with each track, the Pan for each track of your song will be set
depending on what mode you were in previous to loading the song. If you are in Song mode
and have played a song, and then you load a song without initial Pan settings, the Pan of each
track of the newly loaded song will be set by the previously played song. Pan settings are tied to
MIDI channels, so the Pan of each track will be dependent on which MIDI channel is assigned to
each track in each song. If you are in Song mode and you load a song that does not have initial
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 Program
mode or Quick Access mode, the Pan of each MIDI channel is set based on the pan for each
MIDI channel set in those modes. 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 Program mode or
Quick Access mode. 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 set in Program mode or Quick
Access mode.
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.
