• SOFT KEY 1- <Execute>:
Pressing this soft key performs the copy as specified. This may take as much
as 30 seconds or more.
NOTE: ALWAYS BE SURE THAT EACH OF THE SEQUENCES IN
THE SONG HAVE IDENTICAL MIDI CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTS
FOR THEIR TRACKS. When playing a song in song mode, it is possible
for each of the sequences within a song to have different midi channel
assignments from sequence to sequence because each sequence uses its own
set of assignments. For example, track 5 could be assigned to midi channel
16 (drums) in one sequence; it could then be followed by a different
sequence in which track 5 contains keyboard notes and plays through midi
channel 3. However, once a song to sequence conversion is done, only the
assignments from the first sequence in the song are used in the newly
created long sequence: For this reason, before converting a song to a
sequence, be certain that the midi channel assignments for each of the
sequences match from sequence to sequence. It is especially important that
"drums" (channel 16) or "non-drums" (channel 1-15) status of each track
match from sequence to sequence within the song. If an attempt is made to
convert a song which has a mismatch in midi assignments, the following
error screen will be displayed and the conversion is aborted:
To correct the problem, you must use either change the midi channel
assignment of one of the mismatched tracks, or use the <SortTrks> soft key
from the PLAY/RECORD screen to change the track order of one of the
two mismatched sequences before attempting the conversion again.
4.3.9 Shortening/lengthening a single ba
r
This function allows you to change the length of a particular bar within a
sequence by changing its time signature. It works like this: if the new time
signature you change to is shorter than the existing one, the unused end of
the bar is truncated; if the new time signature is longer than the existing
one, a small amount of blank space is added onto the end of the bar. For
