Song Mode and the Song Editor
Song Editor: The COMMON Page
The top line of this page displays the selected track or tracks. Select the available current track
for editing by using the Chan/Bank buttons. Press both of the Chan/Bank buttons together to
select all tracks.
Although the current track information is displayed on the top line, the COMMON page's
parameters are global settings for the song and do not directly affect individual tracks.
Tempo
This is another place where the song's initial tempo can be set or modified.
TimeSig
Affects the click, playback looping, and locate function as well as some editing operations. Does
not change the recorded data.
EffectChan
If the FX Mode and FX Chan parameters in Effects mode are set to Auto and Current, this
parameter specifies which channel will control effects (studio and FXMods) while in Song mode
and during playback of a song. In this situation, you'll hear the studio assigned to the program
that's on the channel designated as the EffectChan will be heard.
Every song can have its own setting for EffectChan. This makes it convenient to change studios
every time you change a song, but you'll need to pay more attention to which programs are
controlling the studios—especially if you're creating arrangements with lots of steps. If you
want to limit changes in studios as you change songs, you can do it easily. See Effect Selection
During Recording and Playback on page 12-20 for more information.
ChainTo
The ChainTo setting is only used when the PlayMode parameter on the MISC page is set to
Chain. Another song object is selected as the ChainTo value and will playback immediately after
the current song has played for its entire length.
