GEM SONGS AND MIDIFILES
GEM songs are designed to be instantly ready to play when-
ever you load them or play them direct-from-disk using
SONG PLAYER. For this reason, any sounds that you want
to use to play along with the song are actually contained
within the song itself.
Playing a GEM song, you can use the SONG PERFORMANCES
or SOUND PRESETS, to select different sounds to play along.
As youî˜re creating a song, you can select any unused tracks
to be played on the keyboard. If there are no unused tracks
you can create additional tracks to play on the keyboard,
(see ADDING ADDITIONAL TRACKS TO A SONG in the
EDITING AND CREATING SONGS chapter).
The track is now playable on the keyboard. You can add
and activate as many tracks as you want in this way. You
can use all of the features of EDIT PARTS to customize
these tracks, adjusting the transpose, detuning, velocity
range and other features. There is even one additional fea-
ture which is only available in song mode, KEY RANGE.
To play an unused track on the keyboard, just press the but-
ton beside it to change itî˜s mode from MUTE to KEYBOARD
PLAY.
