Recording Track (RecTrk)
The RecTrk parameter determines which track is record enabled. Set the record enabled track to
Mult to record more than one channel simultaneously.
When RecTrk is set to a single track (1–16), Record (R) is displayed for that track in the Track
Status Indicator region (above the Track and Channels region). Conversely, with one exception,
when any track's Status Indicator is changed to Record (R), that track is shown as the value for
the RecTrk parameter.
The exception is when RecTrk is already set to Mult, you can select the record enabled tracks by
toggling the Track Status Indicator to Record (R), and the RecTrk will remain set to Mult.
When Mult is initially selected, all of the empty tracks will be record enabled. Tracks containing
data will remain set to play (P), but you can manually set them to record (R).
The parameter(s) below RecTrk change according to the value of RecTrk. If RecTrk is set to a
single track (1–16), Prog is displayed and you can select the program to be assigned to that track.
If you switch through the channels, the program also changes, showing the program currently
assigned to that channel.
If you change RecTrk to None or Multi, the display changes to show Trk:#. This field indicates
which track is currently being triggered by the keyboard, and you can use this Trk:# field to select
a track.
Program (Prog)
Use this field to scroll through the programs in memory and select a program before initially
recording each track of your song. A program selected on the current RecTrk becomes the track's
initial program the first time that the track is recorded. An initial program is the program that
will be used for a track when it is played from the start of bar 1 (or any other point if there are no
program changes and Control Chase is turned on, see
selected in Program Mode are selected as the program on the current RecTrk when you return to
Song mode.
Follow these steps to change the current RecTrk's initial program after recording has taken place
on that track. While the sequencer is stopped, press Record, select the program, press Stop, and
save the song. This preserves all changes you have made to any other track parameters: volume,
pan, tempo, etc. You can also change the initial program at the top of a track's EVENT list (see
"Song Editor: The EVENT Page" on page
Any MIDI program changes on the current RecTrk or Chan cause the ID and name of the track's
program to change during playback. Program changes can be written to the event list of the
current RecTrk by changing the Prog parameter while recording. If a program change takes
place, the program will only return to the initial program if triggered by another program
change, or if the sequencer is stopped and restarted from the beginning of the sequence. One
exception to this is when using the Control Chase feature, you would only need to restart the
sequence before the first program change in order to return to the initial program (see
Chase" on page
Prog changes to Trk:# if RecTrk is set to None or Mult. This field indicates which track is
currently being triggered by the keyboard, and you can use this Trk:# field to select a track.
Track Number (Trk:#)
This parameter is available only when RecTrk is set to None or Mult (replacing the Prog
parameter.) It indicates which track is currently being triggered by the keyboard, and you can
use this field to select a track.
