SONG OPERATIONS
The Song Mode
&
Song
Selection
In
the
RX11
the term "song"
refers
to a
number
of patterns
connected
together to
form
the complete
rhythm
track for a
musical piece-e.g.
intro pattern,
main
pattern, bridge pattern,
fill,
etc.
When
used
in a
song, the individual patterns are
referred to
as
the "parts" of the song.
The
RX11
has
a
song
memory
which
is
separate
from
the pattern
memory,
and
is
capable
of storing
up
to
10
different songs
{numbered
through
9).
The
maximum
number
of parts that can be used
in
a
song
is
255.
To
perform any
song-related
operation— song programming,
editing or
playback-the
RX11
must
be
in
the
SONG
mode.
To
enter the song
mode,
press
the green
PATTERN/SONG
button while
in
the pattern
mode
(the
song
mode
cannot
be entered while
a pattern
is
playing or either of the pattern
write
functions
are active).
The
red
LED
below
the
SONG
label
on
the
PATTERN/SONG
button should
light,
and the
^LCD
will
read
"SELECT SONG
00".
Pressing the
PAT-
TERN/SONG
button
alternates
between
the pattern
and
song modes.
Note
that the
SONG
label
below
the
PATTERN/SONG
button
is
printed
in
blue.
Except
for the
—
1/NO
and
+1/YES
buttons,
all
the buttons
in
the top
row on
the
RX11
panel
perform
the functions indicated by
their
blue
labels (printed
below
the buttons)
when
the
song
mode
is
active.
The
functions printed
in
white above
the top-row buttons apply
only
in
the pattern
mode.
Once
the song
mode
is
active, songs
through
9 are selected
simply by
pressing
the appropriate white
number
button.
The
START
and
STOP/CONTINUE
buttons function
in
the
same way
as
they do
in
the pattern
mode, except
that while
a
pattern cycles
until
it
is
stopped by
pressing
the
STOP/
CONTINUE
button,
a
song
will
stop automatically
when
the
end
is
reached.
Editing
(Assembling
a
Song)
s^Select
the song
number you
wish to program, then enter the
edit
mode
by
pressing the
EDIT
(blue
label)
button.
The
LCD
panel
will
prompt you
for
the
number
of the pattern
which
will
be
programmed
into part
1
of the song:
"PART
001 =
PTN
**".
The number
of the
pattern to be loaded
into
the current
part
is
entered
via
the white
number
buttons
(2 digits)
and appears on
the display
in
place of
the
asterisks.
When
the
first
part has been
entered, press
the
+1/YES
button to go on
to the next
part,
which
is
programmed
in
the
same way.
This process
is
repeated
until
the
last
part
of the
song has been
entered.
Once
the
last
part
has been
entered, press the
EDIT
button
again to exit the
edit
mode
and
return to
the song mode. The programmed
song can
now
be
played.
While
in
the
edit
mode,
the
-1/NO
and
+1/YES
buttons
increment and decrement through
the
programmed
parts,
respectively.
Holding
either
the +1
or
-1
buttons
down
causes continuous incrementing
or
decrementing
in
the
corresponding
direction. This allows
you
to go back and
check the song program, and
alter incorrect pattern
number
entries.

The
Level
Set Function
This function
memorizes
the
PAN, INST
LEVEL
and
ACCENT
settings
independently
for each
song.
The
level
set
procedure must
be carried out immediately
after calling
the Edit
mode
(The
LCD
display should read
"PART
001").
The
level
data
is
entered
at this
point simply
by
pressing the
corresponding function
button
—
PAN, INST
LEVEL
or
ACCENT. When
one
of these buttons
is
pressed the
LCD
will
respond with
"XXXX
SET", where
"XXXX"
is
the
name
of
the selected function
{e.g.
"ACCENT LEVEL
SET").
Level
set
data
is
always memorized
immediately
prior to the
PART
001
data
For
songs
on which
the Level Set function has been
used,
the corresponding
"XXXX
SET"
displays
will
appear
im-
mediately
after the Edit
mode
is
called.
The +1/YES
button
is
used
to scroll
through
the Level Set displays to reach
PART
001.
The
DELETE
function, described
below, can
be used
to delete Level Set data
in
the
same
way
as
it
is
used to delete song
parts.
To
alter
previously
programmed
Level Set data the corresponding
PAN, INST
LEVEL
and
ACCENT
values
must
be altered
as
described
in
"THE
INSTRUMENTS"
section (page
8),
and
reset
by
calling
the corresponding
Level Set display
in
the Edit
mode
("PANNING SET"
to reset the
PAN
value, for
example)
function
as
described above, and
then
pressing
the
corres-
ponding
function button. The
LCD
will
then read "RE-
WRITE
LEVEL?".
Confirm your
intention to rewrite the
selected
function by
pressing the
+1/YES
button. Press
-1/NO
to cancel the
level
rewrite process.
