Tempo Mode [Auto, Manu]
Auto: Playback will use the tempo specified by the currently
playing song. During playback, the “ (Tempo)” setting can-
not be modified.
Manu (Manual): Tempo specified in the song will be
ignored, and playback will use the tempo specified above
for “ (Tempo).”
1–1b: Cue List No. and Name [C00...C19]
Select the cue list that you wish to play.
When using a cue list to play songs, you must first load the
necessary data into internal memory, either from floppy
disk, or by a MIDI data dump from an external sequencer
(
☞p.40 in the Basic Guide).
When “MIDI Clock” (Global P1: 1–1a) is Internal,
selecting a cue list in this page will cause a Song Select
message (corresponding to the cue list number) and
Song Position Pointer message to be transmitted. When
“MIDI Clock” is External MIDI or External PCI/F, a
Song Select message from the specified source will
switch cue lists.
1–1c: Track Select, Selected Track Information
Track Select [Track01...Track16: name]
Select the track that you wish to play manually from the
keyboard along with the playback. While a cue list is play-
ing, you can play along using the track settings and musical
data of the song selected by the current “Step.” The track
you select here will also follow the track settings and musi-
cal data of the currently playing song. If you wish to con-
tinue using the same program to play along from the
keyboard with consecutive songs, specify the same program
for this track in the songs of each Step.
Selected Track Information
This area shows the program bank number, program num-
ber, and name of the track selected in “Track Select.”
1–1d: Selected Step Information, Step, Song,
Repeat, Load FX?
This creates a cue list. Immediately after the power has been
turned on, two steps will be displayed by default: “Step” 01
(S000: NEW SONG is selected) and “Step” 02 (End is
selected). In this condition, selecting a song for “Step” 01
will cause that song to playback once. If you set “Repeat” to
02, that song will playback twice.
With “Step” 01 selected, press the Insert button to insert a
step. For example, you might set “Step” 01 to “Song” S001
and “Repeat” 02, and set “Step” 02 to “Song” S002 and
“Repeat” 02. When you press the [START/STOP] key, song 1
(S001) would play twice, and song 2 (S002) would play
twice.
In this way you can arrange multiple songs in a cue list and
specify the number of repetitions for each.
Selected Step Information
This shows information on the currently selected or playing
“Step.”
STEP: The xx in xx/yy is the currently-playing step number,
and yy is the total number of steps (the last step is not
included).
SONG: This shows the number and name of the song for the
currently selected/playing step.
Length: This shows the number of measures in the song for
the currently selected or playing step.
Step [Measure] [01...100 (M0001...M9999)]
This shows the step number and its beginning measure.
When playback is stopped, the step currently selected by
“Current Step” (1–1e) will be a black triangle. When you use
the [START/STOP] key to begin playback, it will begin from
this step. While a cue list is playing, the playing step will be
a black triangle.
“Measure” shows the beginning measure of each step. It
cannot be edited.
Song (Song Select) [S000...S199: name]
This selects the song for the step. It cannot be selected dur-
ing playback.
You can also select whether playback will end with the last
step in the cue list, or whether playback will return to “Step”
01 and continue endlessly.
End: Playback will end.
Continue to Step01: Playback will return to “Step” 01, and
the cue list will continue playing endlessly. To stop, press the
[START/STOP] key.
Repeat [01...64, FS]
Specify the number of times that the song of this step will be
repeated.
FS: A foot switch connected to the rear panel can be used to
specify the point at which the song will stop repeating.
When you press the foot switch, that repetition of the song
will finish playing, and then playback will continue to the
next step. Set “Foot Switch Assign” (Global P2: 2–1a) to Cue
Repeat Control.
Load FX? (Load Effect?)
Check this box if you wish to load effect settings as well
when playback moves to the song of the next step.
Depending on the effect settings, a certain amount of
time may be required to switch effects. In this case,
playback will not be smoothly connected from song to
song.
If you want to transition smoothly from song to song,
check “FX Load?” in “Step” 01. For the remaining steps,
do not check “FX Load?” With these settings, the effects
will be set before playback begins, so there will be no
time lag to interrupt the smooth transition between
songs. Although it is not possible to change the effect
types in the middle of a cue list, you can use the
dynamic modulation function or MIDI control changes
(effect control) to apply reverb more deeply to certain
songs, or raise the LFO speed for other songs, etc. When
using a cue list to construct a song, we recommend this
method. When you execute the “Convert to Song” (1–
1D) page menu command, the effect settings of the
“Step” 01 song will be specified at the beginning of the
song that is created by the conversion.
Even when “Load FX?” is not checked, there may be a
time lag in the transition from one song to the next,
depending on the musical data in the song. There may
also be cases in which the musical data at the transition
between songs does not play at the correct timing. To
fix this, you can edit the musical data of the song, or
convert the cue list to a single song. If you use “Convert
to Song” (1–1D) to convert the cue list to a song, there
will be no time lag at the transition, and the musical
data will play at the correct timing.
