Chapter 4. SONG MODE

You use SONG mode to play, edit, and record your songs. This chapter
explains all SONG mode operations.
The RM1x's song memory has room for 20 songs.
Each song can comprise as many as 16 sequence tracks and 1 BPM (tempo) track.
Playback and recording in the SONG mode is essentially the
same as in the PATTERN mode. Conceptually, the only differ-
ence is that the SONG mode is designed for recording and
playing back complete songs, while the PATTERN mode is in-
tended for recording and playing shorter phrases and patterns.
The only functional differences are that the SONG mode allows
setting odd time signatures, punch-in
recording, and multitrack recording
in which all tracks can be recorded
simultaneoulsy(from a external MIDI
sequencer or computer).
