The song view is where you create the structure of your song. It is comprised of 8 tracks
from left to right, with a list of chains for each track to play though vertically. When the
song is playing, each track’s song position will increment vertically through the list of
chains until it reaches an empty column (“--”), at which point the given track will loop
back to the beginning of its list of chains.
Since each chain can contain 1 to 16 phrases it is possible to have dierent play lengths
for each track, causing individual track play positions to be misaligned. If you do not
wish to have this behavior it is recommended to design your chains to all have the same
number of phrases.
To maintain a track’s play position with other tracks while it remains silent, create a
chain that contains empty phrases. It is common to use either chain “00” or “FE” for this
purpose. Note that chains which contain no notes are grayed out on the song screen
for readability.
The song can contain up to 256 rows of chains. You may nd it useful to use unused
rows below the base song structure, “isolating” to experiment or create new arrange-
ments without breaking the existing song (see row “06” in the graphic above).
