Metronome
e Metronome parameter determines the recording modes in which the metronome will
play. With Metronome set to O, the metronome doesn’t play at all. With Metronome
set to Rec, the metronome only plays while recording is in progress. With Metronome set
to Always, the metronome plays during playback and recording. With Metronome set to
CountO, the metronome plays only during count o (if the CountO parameter on the
Metronome page is set to something other than O.)
FX Track
e FX Track parameter determines which track’s Program will provide the Aux FX Chains
for the song (used by all MIDI channels). e program in the selected FX Track determines
the Aux Chains of the current song (unless an override chain is selected). See “e FX Page”
on page 8-22 for details on Song Mode FX.
Activity
e Activity row shows the MIDI activity for each track. Track Activity Indicators appear
above Track numbers for tracks that contain events and have a Track Status Indicator set to
Play (P) or Mute (M). Track Activity Indicators are small squares with a colored circle in
the middle. During playback and recording, the circle will ash when any MIDI events are
executed.
When the Overdub Mode parameter is set to Merge, the circle in the square will turn red for
any track that has the Track Status Indicator set to record (R) .
When the Overdub Mode parameter is set to Erase, the circle in the square will turn gray for
any track that has the Track Status Indicator set to record (R) .
Track Status
e Track Status row can be used to view and set the track status for each of the 16 tracks.
Tracks 1-16 are arranged in left to right order. Possible track status settings are: Empty (–),
Record (R), Play (P), and Mute (M).
e Track Status row is most useful for muting previously recorded tracks, or arming
multiple tracks when recording to more than one track at a time. When recording a single
track, you may nd it easier to use the Rec Track parameter to arm a single track at a time.
When an empty track (–) is selected, you can change the status to Record (R) by using the
Alpha Wheel or Plus/Minus buttons.
Once a track contains events, it will have (P) as a Track Status, and it will be played during
playback. You now will be able to toggle between Play (P), Mute (M), and Record (R).
