Work with Song Sections
Once you have a few sequences set up, you can use Song Mode to record song sections. When Song Mode is
enabled, you will record into the currently selected song section. While recording a section, you can record turning
sequences on and off over time. You can record multiple sections to playback as a complete song. You can have
up to 16 sections in a preset. Swipe the touch screen to scroll up and down through the list of sections.
To Toggle Song Mode:
When you create a new preset, by default Song Mode is turned off. This means
that blackbox is recording and playing sequences. Song sections are ignored in
this mode. When you enter Song Mode, you can now record into and playback
song sections. To toggle Song Mode on or off:
1.
Push the SONG button below the screen.
2.
Touch the Song button at the top of the screen to toggle Song Mode. Song
Mode is enabled when the on-screen button is blue.
Record and Play Song Sections
When Song Mode is enabled, the currently selected section will play when you push the PLAY button. Any active
sequences will also play. You can quickly deactivate all sequences by touching the DEACT button on the
sequences screen.
To Record a Song Section:
1.
Enable Song Mode as described above.
2.
On the Song screen, turn the top left knob to adjust the BPM of the song. This number is displayed to the left
of the Edit button.
3.
Select the song section you want to record into.
4.
Push INFO to display the section parameter screen. Here you can set the length of the song section in bars.
The maximum length allowed is 32 bars.
5.
Push SEQS to display the sequences screen. Activate the sequences you want to have playing when you
start recording the song section, and deactivate those you don't want.
6.
Hold down the REC button while pressing PLAY to start playing and recording the active sequences.
7.
Touch sequences to activate and deactivate them over time.
8.
Push REC to stop recording but continue playback. Push STOP to discontinue playback and recording.
Note:
•
Each time you record a song section, you add to the current song section. Any previous sequence
actions are still there. If you want to start over again with a clean section, select the song section, then
touch Edit and Clear.
•
Song sections record on and off events for sequences. If you change a sequence, you will also change
the song section.
•
Song sections do not record pads or keys actions.
•
You can modify the BPM at any time to adjust the playback speed of the song sections and the
sequences.
•
When in Song Mode, the context display at the top of the screen shows the name of the active Song
section, and the progress bar to the right of that displays the progress of this section.
