3-57
Velocity
This parameter determines the attack velocity values of each note entered while step editing. Set
the Value to Played to use the attack velocities of notes as you play them, or set a value of 1–127
to fix all notes at the sepdified velocity.
Locate
The value of Locate parameter indicates the bar, beat, and tick of the next step entry in the song.
When you play a note (or press Step> to enter a rest), the value of Locate advances to the next
step (as defined by the Duration and Modifier parameters). During playback of the song, the
value of the Locate parameter gets updated as the song progresses (the Bar and Beat values
change, but no the Tick value).
Playback almost always begins at the bar and beat specified by Locate. The only exception
occurs when Locate is set beyond the song’s end point, and you press Play without doing any
step editing beforehand. In this case, the song starts at 1:1, regardless of the value for Locate.
When you press Stop, the song always returns to the bar and beat specified by Locate.
If you enter a negative value for Locate, you can’t do any step editing. In other words, you can
make step entries only within the song—not within the countoff.
Soft Buttons on the Edit Song: STEP Page
Play
Starts the playback of the song from the Bar and Beat set in the Locate parameter. When the song
is playing, this soft button becomes Pause. When you press Pause, the sequencer stops playback
but remains at the current location. The button changes to Play. Press Play, and song playback
continues.
Stop
Stops song playback and returns the sequencer to the bar and beat specified by the value of the
Locate parameter.
<Back / Step>
Moves the current location of the song backward or forward one step; the length of this step is
determined by the values of the Duration and Modifier parameters.
Done
Takes you back to the COMMON page.
Song Editor: The ARRANGE Page
There are step-by-step instructions for creating arrangements in a tutorial beginning on
page 3-11. The descriptions on this page list all the parameters on the ARRANGE page, also
known as the Arrangement Editor.
On the ARRANGE page, you can create a special song called an arrangement. An arrangement
doesn’t have to contain any recorded tracks (although it can); it can consist entirely of sections
called steps (not to be confused with step editing).These steps instruct the sequencer to play one
