Setup Mode
Recording A Setup To Song Mode
Mono Pressure: When recording a setup to Song mode with Mult selected for RecTrk in Song
mode, you may notice that every track has recorded Mono Pressure messages, even if there is
nothing else recorded on a track. If this bothers you, you can set the MonoPress parameter to
Off on the Song:Event Filter Recording page (see Song Mode: The Filter Pages (RECFLT and
PLYFLT) on page 10‐15.) This will prevent Mono Pressure messages from being recorded to any
track. Alternatively, you can erase Mono Pressure messages from specific tracks after recording.
To do this, go to the EditSong: Track page (see Song Editor: The TRACK Page on page 10‐21.) On
the EditSong: Track page, use the Chan/Zone buttons to choose the track to edit (visible in the
Track field at the top right corner of the display.) Set the Function parameter to Erase and the
Events parameter to MonoPress. Use the From and To fields to select the entire length of your
song, and press the Go soft button to erase Mono Pressure messages from the selected track.
Repeat this for each desired track. You can also choose ALL for the Track parameter to erase
Mono Pressure messages from all tracks.
Controller Messages: When recording a setup to Song mode with Mult selected for RecTrk in
Song mode, you may often be recording more controller messages than you realize. This can
happen because multiple setup zones often respond to the same physical controllers. This is
likely to be the case when you use a setup created by duplicating zones and do not change the
controller destination assignments for each new zone. Often this is the desired behavior, such as
when using zones to create layers. For example, if zone one sends pitch bend messages from the
pitch wheel, and you duplicate this zone to create a layered zone two, you will likely want the
zone two to send the same messages from the pitch wheel. This way the pitch of these layered
zones will bend simultaneously when using the pitch wheel. But say for example that you also
have a zone three with a different key range than zones one and two, but which sends the same
messages from the pitch wheel. While playing and recording your setup, the function of the
pitch wheel will be obvious, but some confusion can arise when you have recorded your setup
and you proceed to record more tracks in Song mode. Because you have recorded with Mult
selected for RecTrk, the track for zone three will have pitch bend messages recorded wherever
zones one and two have bend messages, even if zone three was not playing any notes at that
time. For example, lets say zones one and two were bending during bar 1. If you want to
separately record zone three during bars 1 and 2, you will probably want to delete the existing
bend messages from zone three's track. You can do this from the EditSong: Track page (see Song
Editor: The TRACK Page on page 10‐21, and an example of its use in the Mono Pressure section, above.)
Alternatively, if there is nothing to preserve on the track for zone three, you can record it with
the song Mode parameter set to Erase, which will erase any existing events on the track during
the time that you record. Just remember to change the RecTrk parameter in order to record to a
single track.
