Basics Of Using Riffs

This setup, along with the song 428 H-Fact Sng which we viewed in Song mode, show a good
example of how to split up a song into riffs in setup mode. One thing that makes this example
simple is that each track of the song 428 H-Fact Sng uses its corresponding MIDI channel number. If
you were to go back to the song in Song mode, you would see at the bottom of the display that track 1 uses
channel 1, track 2 uses channel 2, etc. In the Setup Editor for the setup 253 4 Zone Riff+Pno, you can
see on the CH/PROG page for each zone that each zone uses its corresponding MIDI channel
number as well. Both of these conditions are important, because otherwise setting the SrcTrack
parameter on the RIFF1 page for each zone would not be as simple as setting it to correspond
with the zone number. See SrcTrack (Source Track) and Re Channel on page 7‐50 for more details
on these settings.
The MIDI channel settings discussed above are important in order to direct the sequence
information coming from the original song to each desired zone in setup mode. Once this is
done, you can select a program for each zone that is playing a riff. If you want each riff to sound
the same as each track of the original song, use the same program for each zone that each track
used. You can use different programs if you want the riffs to sound different from the original
song. In this setup, zones 1-4 use the same programs that the song 428 H-Fact Sng uses for its tracks 1-
4. You can view the program used for each zone in the Program field of each zones' CH/PROG page.

From the CH/PROG page, press the right hand more soft button at the bottom of the display to find
the RIFF1 soft button, then press the RIFF1 soft button. This brings you to the RIFF1 page for
zone 1. The currently selected zone number can be viewed in the top right corner of the display.
Here we can see that a riff is turned on for zone 1. Zone 1's riff is using track 1 of the song 428 H-
Fact Sng as its source track for this riff. The source track number is displayed in the SrcTrack field
(see below.)
Next, press the top Chan/Zone button (to the left of the display) to move to the RIFF1 page for
zone 2. The currently selected zone number can be viewed in the top right corner of the display. A
riff is turned on for zone 2, and the riff is using track 2 of the song 428 H-Fact Sng as its source
track (see below.) If you continue to press the top Chan/Zone button to view the RIFF1 pages for
zones 3 and 4, you will see that they also use the same song 428 H-Fact Sng for their riffs, though
they use track 3 and 4 for their source tracks, respectively.
