Song Setup
Before you begin recording your first song, you will want to become acquainted with the recorder Setup
functions. Setup functions include: Drums-MP3 (Pattern/File),Drum/MP3 Level,Tempo,Drum Kit,Click
Track,Pre Roll,Song Repeat,Auto Stop, Quantize, and Format. These functions dictate how the recorder
works for each song. Each song can have these functions setup in different ways so that you can customize
how the recorder works depending on your needs. A Song Setup file is saved off to the Compact Flash card
for each song and is resaved whenever any changes are made.
Drums/MP3 (Pattern/File)
The Drums/MP3 (Pattern/File) setup lets you select one of the GNX4’s drum patterns or an external
MIDI or MP3 file to be played back along with any recorded audio in a given song. This is a useful feature
as it lets you have backing tracks in a song without having to allocate audio tracks to play them. When
the DRUMS/MP3 button is enabled, this setting will override the DRUMS/MP3 Pattern selected in the
Control Panel when the PLAY button is pressed on the recorder. To select a pattern or file that you
would like played back with a song,follow these steps:
1.Press the SONG SETUP button once and the GNX4’s main display will show one of the drum
patterns. For example, the 8th Beat pattern will display as
8th beat.
2.Use the DATA WHEEL to select a Drum Pattern, MIDI, or MP3 file.
3.When finished, press EXIT.
Drums/MP3 Level
The Drums/MP3 Level setup sets the playback level of the file selected in the Drums/MP3 (Pattern/File)
setup menu. When the DRUMS/MP3 button is enabled in the Recorder Panel and the PLAY button is
pressed on the recorder, this setting will override the DRUMS/MP3 Level button located in the far right
Control Panel. To select a pattern or file that you would like played back with a song, follow these steps:
