which demo song you have chosen, you may see the program change
also.
The arrangement and section editing screens in Song mode make it easy
to create your own songs for non-MIDI performance. Each song in the
Studio Vocalist EX is made up of up to 16 different sections with a
choice of preset names such as Verse, Chorus etc.. Each section can con-
sist of up to 32 different steps and these are the actual chord, key or pro-
gram changes that make up a song. A song can be as simple as a single
section with 4 chord changes in it or as complex as multiple verse, cho-
rus, and bridge sections each with numerous chord and program changes.
The beauty of this format is that it is easier to build a song up in sections
in no particular order and piece them together in the arrangement screen.
This is especially useful for songwriting where the arrangement of verse,
chorus and bridge is likely to change.
To create a new song section:
1.
Press the Songs button. This presents the Performance screen.
2.
Turn the Data Wheel to locate a blank song. The song name "Blank
Song....#" will show in the LCD and the Bypass LED will light. The
Bypass LED always lights at the end of a section.
3.
Press the Edit button. This presents the Arrangement editing screen.
(The screen shown below represents what the screen will look like
after the changes outlined below have been made)
4.
Use the front panel keyboard to input the key you want your song to
be in. If set incorrectly, this will be confusing later.
5.
Press the Insert softkey once. The letter "A" appears as the first sec-
tion in the song. If you turn the Data Wheel, you can change the let-
ter assignment for this section. If you press the right Arrow button,
the arrow moves to select the ending marker. Return the arrow so it
is beneath the letter and set the letter to "A".
6.
Press the Edit button again. This will show the Section editing
screen.
