Song Mode and Sequencing
The Song Editor (EditSong Pages)
When the cursor is positioned somewhere other than over the From or To fields, the function of
the FromTo soft button is slightly different. In this case, once you start the sequence playing
back, and you press FromTo before reaching the To location, you get a new From location.
Without stopping the sequence and starting it again, press FromTo a second time, and if it was
pressed at a point after the From location, that point becomes the new To location. If the second
FromTo press happens before the current From location, that point becomes the new From
location, and the old From location becomes the new To location.
Play starts the playback of the song from the bar and beat set with the Locate parameter. When
the song is playing, this button becomes Pause.
Stop stops the playback of the song and return to the Bar and Beat set as the Locate value.
Go executes the current function. In other words, nothing happens until you press Go.
Done returns you to the COMMON page, without executing the current function.
Track Functions: Erase
This function erases specified events from a region of time, but doesn’t delete the region of time.
The result is like erasing a section of recording tape. If you want to remove a segment
completely and shorten the length of the track, use the Delete function.

Track Functions: Copy
Use the Copy function to duplicate the selected events from the current track and place them in
the same track or into another track, either merging with or overwriting existing data.

If you don’t want to copy all of the MIDI events in the selected segment on the current track, use
the Events parameter in the Region/Criteria window to select a specific MIDI event type; only
events of that type get copied.
Some event types provide additional criteria selection parameters. It’s often a good idea to set
Events to Notes when copying, then add any necessary Controller or other data to the track at a
later time.
