9.1 SONG button
Press the SONG button to enter song mode. The display will read as follows, with the last song entered
being indicated in the number portion of the display:
9.2 Selecting a SONG
The 00 is underlined to indicate that it will be changed if a new number is selected with the keypad or
the +/- buttons. The second line of the display shows the name of the currently selected song (up to 14
characters). If the current song number is empty, the second line will read EMPTY SONG. Pressing the
+/- buttons immediately selects the next song number, with the numbers looping past 99 to 00 and
looping down from 00 to 99. If a single digit on the keypad is pressed (2, for example), the display will
change to:
The display is now indicating that the second digit of the song should be entered. After entering the
second digit, the new song is selected, and its name will appear. If the second digit is not entered within
2 seconds, the display will revert back to the previous song number, and no new song will have been
selected. The page up and page down buttons have no function when selecting parts or songs.
A SONG is a list of parts (sequences) in a specific order, with each entry into the list being a STEP which
contains a part number. Each step also contains which of the eight tracks should be on for that step.
9.3 Manual TRACK selection and muting in SONG mode
While in SONG mode, the eight TRACK select LEDs will display the tracks that are turned on, on the first
part of the selected song. These buttons can be turned on or off to change the selected tracks to be
played, although these changes will be temporary and not stored with the song. Pressing PLAY will start
playing the selected song from its beginning, and the PLAY LED will light. The display will read, for
example:
The first line of the display is now showing the current song number being played, and the current beat
number of the part being played. The second line of the display is showing the step number and the part
assigned to the step that is playing at the moment. When the song advances to the next step, the display
will show the part for step 2, etc. The track select LEDs will change to show which tracks are turned on
for the current part. Again, the track selection can be changed by turning on or off the track buttons.
