When the LEAD MUTE button is pressed while a MIDIFILE is playing, the lead/melody line
is instantly turned off. This feature is great if you want to play along with a midifile, yet be
the one to play the lead/song lines.
o NB:- If this does not initially work for your Midifile, it means that the lead / melody line of
your song is not on channel 4. In this case –

MIDI MIX:- This function allows you to quickly adjust the volumes of the individual Midifile
parts/tracks using the volume sliders (Drums, Bass, Chords, Orch and lead when on [yellow]).
If this function is off, then the midifile will play with the original volume initially programmed within
it, thus ignoring the volume slider positions. Use this function when you want to quickly adjust say the
drums or bass sounds while playing a midifile (rather than going into the GM mix and trying to
Fig.ure out where the bass or drums are and then lowering the volume in there), or when you want to
play many midifiles but want the volume to be consistent as you go from one to the other (regardless
of how the volumes were programmed within the midifile since the volume of the individual parts will
be determined by the setting/levels of the volume sliders above).
•
Skip File Link:- This function when on (yellow) enables files that have the same name to be loaded
together, that is files that are linked by association. If you have a midifile called "Love you.mid" and
you have it's associated text/lyrics file called "Love you.txt", when this function is on (yellow),
whenever you play the midifile, the corresponding lyrics will be displayed on the screen as well.
However, if this function is off, then when you play the midifile, the text (or any other files associated
with it) will not be loaded and seen as well. Use this function when you want to be able to say play
midifiles but still have the screen display full controls for you to perform with.
•
File View:- When you touch this icon, the following screen will be displayed which allows you to
select which files you want to be able to see once in any folder and to sort files in a particular way.
