Song Editor: The ARRANGE Page
This page allows you to create a song by arranging other songs together in the order you specify.
The other songs become sections (called steps) of the current song, which can be repeated,
transposed, etc. You can even trigger steps by striking specific keys on the controller.
You can also create an arrangement of other songs to play back simultaneously with the current
song. This gives you up to 32 tracks: 16 tracks in the current song plus 16 in the song or songs
called by the arrangement (which are specified by the ARRANGE page's Song parameter).
Alternatively, the current song might not contain any normal song data, but could include only
the arrangement data, by which the pieces of a composition are assembled. One thing you can't
do, however, is "nest" arrangement songs. In other words, if you include a song with
arrangement data in another song with arrangement data, it won't work.
More often than not, you would want to start using the Arrange feature from a new song that
doesn't have any track data recorded yet. Press the ARRANG soft button on the COMMON
page to enter the ARRANGE page, gaining access to a group of arrangement specific
parameters. All songs have these parameters for creating complex arrangements of existing
song objects, using ranges of the keyboard and realtime performance controls for triggering
steps, but not every song will use them.
