Song Mode and the Song Editor
Song Editor: The EVENT Page
To scroll through the events, make sure the location (Bar and Beat, in the first column) is
highlighted. Use the Alpha Wheel, the Up and Down cursor buttons, or the Plus/Minus buttons.
As you scroll through the events, each event is executed by the sequencer. In the case of Note
events, you will hear the note played, although the duration will be short. If you have scrolled
through a Sustain (MIDI Controller 64) message with an On value then you will hear the note
sustain as if the sustain pedal was depressed. The note will continue to sustain until you scroll
through a Sustain message with a value of Off.
You can also jump directly to a specific bar and beat by typing the bar number and beat number,
then pressing Enter. Keep in mind if you have controller or program data previous to the point
that you jump to, those events may not have been executed and you may hear unexpected
results. For example, if you have program changes at bar 1 and bar 8, and you jump from bar 1 to
bar 9, any notes you scroll through will be played with the program change from bar 1.
Initial Program, Volume, Pan
At the top of the event list for each track, you can view and change the initial program, volume
and pan settings for the current track. See Song Mode: The MAIN Page
initial settings for program, volume, and pan. Each of these parameters can be set to NONE by
entering 0 on the alphanumeric pad and then pressing the minus button to find NONE.
Location
The first column represents the Bar and Beat Locations of the different events in a song. Scroll
through the events on the selected track(s) with the Alpha Wheel or enter in a specific Bar and
Beat on the alphanumeric button pad to jump to events occurring on that Beat. A quick way to
jump to the End point in a track is to press 9999 and then Enter on the alphanumeric button pad.
Bar, Beat, and Tick
Bar, Beat, and Tick are editable parameters for each event. They determine when an event
happens relative to the other events within the song.
Event Type and Value
The Event Type and Value region displays the MIDI event type (and related information) at each
Event-list location in the song. Different event types display different kinds of information, and
have different editable values.
The event type is the left-most field. You can highlight this field and change the event type. MIDI
note events are denoted by a ">" followed by the note name. The ">" is effectively the event type
for notes, and to change the event type, highlight the ">." To change the note, highlight the note
name.
Table 12-1 on the next page lists the ranges of the editable event values:
