Editing Songs
Loading Individual Tracks/Patterns
of Song Data
If you have selected a song file (extension ".SVQ") or Standard MIDI

[F5 (LD TRK)].
The Load Track window appears.
fig.LoadTrack
2.
Move the cursor to the left of "Source" (load source), and
select the track (TRK 1–16) or pattern (PTN001–100) that
you want to load.
* If you are loading from a Standard MIDI File, it is not possible to
select patterns (PTN001–100). Also, if you are loading from a Format
0 Standard MIDI File, this will be fixed at "TRK ALL," and
individual tracks cannot be selected.
3.
Move the cursor to the right of "Destination" (load
destination), and select the load-destination track (TRK 1–
16) or pattern (PTN001–100).
4.
Press [F6 (EXEC)] to execute the operation.
* To cancel, press [F5 (CANCEL)].
Silencing the Playback of a Track

(Track Mute)

If you wish to silence specific track during playback, you can mute
the appropriate Phrase track containing that sequencer data.
1.
Press [SONG EDIT <-> LIST] to access the SNG EDIT (TRK)
screen.
2.
Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor for the track that you
want to silence.
fig.TrackMute
* Tracks in which no sequencer data has been recorded are displayed as
"- - - -."
3.
Turn the VALUE dial or press [DEC] to select "MUTE."
* You can also mute Phrase tracks by pressing [MUTE] so the button is
blinking and pressing PART/TRACK [1]–[8] and [9-16].
Note that if you save a song with a Phrase track muted in the
Standard MIDI File format, that Phrase track's data will not be
saved. If you save a song that has a muted Phrase track in the
132
MRC Pro song format, the mute status of the track will also be
saved.
If you set the tempo track (Tempo) "Status" to "MUTE," the
tempo track will be muted. If tempo changes have been
recorded in a song, but you want to play the song at a fixed
tempo, you can mute the tempo track.
Assigning Markers (Locate
Positions) to a Song
Markers can be assigned to any location in a song. These are called
Locate Positions. Normally, locations in a song are indicated as
"measure-beat-tick," but a locate position is also displayed as an
absolute time of "hours:minutes:seconds:frames."
* It is not possible to assign a locate position to a pattern.
Assigning a Locate Position
Up to four locate positions can be assigned in each song.
1.
Press [SONG EDIT <-> LIST] to access the SONG EDIT
screen.

The Locate screen appears.

to the song play back.

VALUE dial or [INC] [DEC] to set each value.
