SongBook
The SongBook is an onboard database that allows you to orga-
nize various "musical resources" (Style, Standard MIDI Files,
KAR files, and MP3 files) for easy retrieving.
The SongBook mode overlaps the Style Play and Song Play oper-
ating modes. When you select an entry from the database, the
Style Play or Song Play mode is automatically selected, depend-
ing on the type of file associated with the entry.
In addition to helping you organize your shows, the SongBook
allows you to associate four Pads, and up to four STSs to each
Standard MIDI File or MP3 file, played back in Song Play mode.
This way, it is easy to recall a complete setup for Keyboard tracks,
effects, and the Voice Processor, for realtime playing over a midi-
file or MP3 file.
For more information on using the SongBook, see the Quick
Guide (starting from page 61).
Note: SongBook entries do not include actual data, but only a
pointer to a Style in memory, a Standard MIDI File, or an MP3
file. When you copy a SongBook file, referenced files are not copied
with it.
Warning: If you load a SongBook list from a storage device
(".SBD" file), the existing one in memory is deleted. Save your old
SongBook list before loading a new one.
Book
The Book page contains the full database of song entries (i.e., an
".SBD" file). While in this page, you can select an entry, and
touch the Select button in the display to load it. Then, press the
PLAY or START button to start the Song or Style.
List Header
Each entry of this database may include the song's author, name,
genre, original key, tempo and meter (time signature). When
selecting one of the entries, the associated Style, Standard MIDI
File or MP3 file is automatically recalled. Also, STSs and Pads
may be recalled (if present).
List Header
The List Header may change, depending on the type of data
associated with the selected entry.
•
When a Style is associated to the entry, the currently
selected entry's name is shown on the left ("N:"), and the
associated Style is shown on the right ("Style:"):
•
When a Standard MIDI File or MP3 file is associated to the
entry, the list header is split into two parts, with the left half
referring to Player 1, and the right one referring to Player 2.
Information for the selected entry's name ("N:") and asso-
ciated Standard MIDI File or MP3 file ("P1:" or "P2:") is
given for each player:
Note: If you select a different Style or Standard MIDI File or
MP3 file, the entry's name field ("N:") returns blank (---),
meaning the entry has been modified.
