Sequencer mode
(Tempo)
This specifies the tempo of the song. This tempo applies to
song playback, arpeggiator and drum track function, etc.
040.00...300.00: When the Tempo Mode is Manu (Manual),
this tempo will be used for recording and playback. When
Tempo Mode is REC, this tempo will be recorded on the
master track.
EXT: This will appear when MIDI Clock (Global 1–1a) is set
to either External MIDI, External USB or Auto. The tempo of
the internal sequencer will synchronize with MIDI Clock
messages received from an external sequencer or other MIDI
device.
If MIDI Clock (Global 1–1a) is set to Internal, the above
tempo setting (040.00–300.00) is used. If you've selected
Auto, operation will automatically switch from Internal to
External if MIDI Clock data is received from an external
MIDI device. This indication will appear.
Note: You can also adjust this by turning the TEMPO knob.
Alternatively, you can set the tempo by pressing the TAP
TEMPO switch at the desired interval.
Note: If Tempo is selected as an alternate modulation source,
= 120.00 will be the base value.
To record tempo changes
First, set Track Select to a MIDI Track.
Press the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch to enter
recording-standby mode, you will be able to select REC.
Set Tempo Mode to REC, start recording, and change the
(Tempo) value either by turning the TEMPO knob, or
using numeric keys 0–9 to enter a value and then pressing
the ENTER switch. You can also vary the tempo by hitting
the TAP TEMPO switch at the desired timing.
This cannot be selected when the Preferences page item
Recording Setup is set to Loop All Tracks.
When you change the (Tempo) value while recording, the
tempo changes will be recorded, causing the tempo to
change as the song progresses.
Tempo changes can also be created using the Event Edit or
Create Control Data menu commands.
Note: If you wish to record only the tempo changes, set
Recording Setup (Seq 0–1–8b) to Overdub, and the tempo
will be recorded on the master track without being affected
by the musical data of Track Select.
Tempo Mode
Auto: The tempo will follow the tempo of the Master Track.
The tempo of the master track can be specified by using the
Event Edit menu command, with the Master Track chosen in
Track Select, or by the REC operation described below.
When Auto is selected, it will not be possible to modify the
(Tempo) setting while a song is playing or recording (or
during standby).
Manu (Manual): The (Tempo) setting will be used.
REC: Tempo changes will be recorded on the Master Track.
Song Select
Select the song that you want to record or play back.
Either select the song name from the popup menu, or use
numeric keys 0–9 to specify the song number and then press
the ENTER switch.
Creating a new song
Choose a number from the popup menu whose song name
is blank, or use the numeric keys 0–9 to specify the song
number and press the ENTER switch to open the dialog box.
Then select Set Length to specify the number of measures in
the song, and press the OK button.
130
[040.00...300.00, EXT]
[Auto, Manual, REC]
[000...127]
Note: If you want to change the length of a song after
creating it, use the menu command Set Song Length. When
creating a new song, you can specify the length to be
somewhat longer than necessary, and after you have
finished recording and editing, use Set Song Length to
specify the correct length.
A Song Select message is transmitted when you switch
songs on the M50. You can switch songs on the M50
remotely, by sending a Song Select message from an
external MIDI device.
If Track MIDI Out (Global P1: MIDI– MIDI Basic) is set
to "for Master," and the song is switched, tracks whose
track status (Status 3–1(2)a) is EXT, EX2, or BOTH will
transmit Bank Select, Program Change, Volume,
Panpot, Portamento, Send 1/2, Post IFX Pan, and Post
IFX Send 1/2 messages on the MIDI channel of that
track. These messages will not be transmitted if Track
MIDI Out is set to "for External Sequencer."
Track Select
[Track01...Track16, Master Track]
Track 01–Track 16: Select the MIDI track that you want to
record. This is also where you make your selection when
editing a MIDI track in P6: Track Edit.
When Multi REC is off, this also selects the record-enabled
track.
When Multi REC (Seq 0–1–8b) is on, the Play/Rec/Mute
buttons (Seq 0–1–1(2)b) select the record-enabled tracks,
regardless of the Track Select setting.
Use Track Name (Seq 6–2) to give the track a descriptive
name.
If other tracks are set to the same MIDI channel as the
selected track, and their Status is set to INT or BTH,
they'll be controlled by the keyboard as well.
Additionally, other tracks set to the same MIDI channel
as the selected track, and their Status set to EXT, EX2, or
BTH, will transmit MIDI to external devices. For
another look at this, please see the table below.
