sequence. The lyric events available in many MIDIFILES contain the text of a song and if they are
inserted into the sequence on a syllabic basis, you will have a KARAOKE-type effect when you
play it back in the PLAY SONG mode.
LYRIC INSERT/MODIFY: It allows you to insert/modify lyric events. Press F2 to open an edit win-
dow where you can select the position; place the cursor to the right of the position and open a
new window where you can edit letters. The letter above the cursor can be inserted by using the
keyboard or the Value -/+ buttons. Some buttons have special functions. The B_1 button allows
you to change the letters associated with the keys from small letters to capital letters. The G_5
button is the Carriage Return button shown on the display by an arrow to the right. The F#-5
button selects a number of international signs. The F_5 button deletes the cursor position up to
the end of the sentence (this can be done also by pressing the Value -/+ buttons together). Use
the Cursor <> buttons to move from one letter to the other. Once the sentence is edited, it can be
memorized in the lyric event by pressing F10; press F5 to go back to the position field; pressing
F5 again will cancel the operation.
LYRIC AUTOMATIC: It allows you to insert lyric events automatically, changing the notes of a selected
channel of the running track into lyric events. You can choose the channel where there is a melodic line
that follows the singing. Every lyric event can later be edited to insert a new syllable.
In other words:
Once the track on which changes are to be made has been selected from the main menu, enter
the MASTER TRACK.
Press F8 (LYRIC).
Press F6 to select (with Value -/+) the channel where the track melodic line is.
Press F3 (AUTOMATIC).
At this point, position the locators From and To in the set interval.
Press F10 to confirm the operation. By doing so, the notes of the selected track interval will be
copied on the MASTER TRACK as lyric events.
A t this point, empty lyric events will be made available for editing with INSERT/MODIFY as pre-
viously described.
LYRIC DELETE EVENT: Pressing F4 (DELETE EVENT) will delete the lyric event that was pre-
viously selected with the Cursor <> buttons.
NAME PART: It allows you name every part of the sequence. Once the sequence names have been
entered, the name will appear in the POSITION box of the sequencer main page.
Example: x.1.1 can be called "Strophe 1", y.1.1 "Strophe 2", and z.1.1 "Refrain" in order to have an
automatic reference point. Press F9 to name a part. A window is opened where you can set the initial
position of the part and the name of the part itself. Use the Cursor <> buttons to move from one
Position value to the other and the Value -/+ buttons to change the values. Once the position has been
chosen, place the cursor on the default name "Part". Another window will automatically open so that
you can give a new name to the part. Syllables are selected by using the Value -/+ buttons o by using the
keyboard. If the Value -/+ buttons are used, use the Cursor <> buttons to move along from one syllable
to the next. Press F10 to confirm the operation, F5 to exit.
VIEW: It allows you to choose the type of event to show in the MASTER TRACK menu. Press F6
(VIEW) repeatedly to select the events. ALL : all events are displayed.
LYRIC: only lyric events are displayed.
