USING THE SONG MODE
The SONG mode is where you can compile a list of takes for playback. The SONG mode has
two functions, in fact. You may use the SONG mode to compile a list of takes for triggering from
MIDI notes or you may use the SONG mode to append and playback a sequence of takes
‘back-to-back’. The first application, triggering from MIDI, is most likely going to be used when
‘spinning in’ recordings from a sequencer over other sequenced material. In this way, you may
set aside one or more tracks on your sequencer for playing back audio over a sequenced
backing track. The other application, sequencing takes, is for creating alternative and extended
song remixes.
CREATING A SONG
Regardless of the application you have in mind, the method for creating a song is identical.
Pressing F2 - - in any of the disk record pages will give you this screen:
This shows a blank, empty song file. Nothing can actually be done here. To create a song, you
must press F2 to take you to the SONG EDIT page as this is where all the work takes
place.
Pressing F2 gives this screen display:
The fields across the top of the screen are as follows:
This is the name field for the song. Names of up to twelve characters can be
entered here in the normal way by pressing NAME, typing in the name and
pressing ENT/PLAY.
NOTE - This sets the MIDI note that the take will be triggered by. This
parameter has no function when sequencing takes.
CHANNEL - This sets the takes MIDI channel. This has no function when
sequencing takes.
LEVEL - This sets the playback level of the take.
PAN - This sets the pan position of the take if it is a mono recording or sets the
left/right balance if it is a stereo recording.
FADE IN - This sets the fade in time for the take and is variable up to 9999mS
