Song Mode and Sequencing
The Song Editor (EditSong Pages)
You can also set a value of Inf (infinite) for Times, in which case the sequencer never moves on
to the next step when it complets the current step. Instead, it keeps playing the current step until
you press Stop.
Mode
This parameter determines what the sequencer does when it completes playback of the current
step in the arrangement. When the value is Next, the sequencer moves to the next step and
continues playback. When the value is Stop, the sequencer stops playback and returns to the bar
and beat specified by the Locat parameter on the MAIN page in Song mode (or the Locate
parameter on the MISC page, which is the same thing).
Triggering Steps From the Keyboard
There are four parameters along the bottom of the ARRANGE page that are settings for real time
control of the steps in an arrangement. These are the buttons that determine which notes (if any)
trigger arrangement steps from the keyboard (or from incoming MIDI Note On events).
Each step of an arrangement can have its own range of notes for triggering steps. The lowest
note in the range starts the step at its start point, with no added transposition (although the
Xpose parameter on the ARRANGE page might add transposition). Each successively higher
note in the range triggers the step fronm its start, but with an additional semitone of upward
transposition. This tranposition doesn’t affect tracks that have been designated as drum tracks
(see page 3-37 and page 3-59)
See page 3-60 for step-by-step instructions for using this feature.
LowKey
The first parameter, LowKey, is the setting for the lowest note in a keyboard range. When you
play this note on the trigger channel, you’ll start the corresponding step, without any additional
transposition.
HiKey
The highest note of the keyboard range designed to trigger the current step is set in the HiKey
parameter. HiKey defines the largest transposition of a step from the key of the song triggered
by the LowKey. The HiKey must be a higher note value than the LowKey in order to trigger any
step from the keyboard.
Latch
If Latch is set to Off, each step you trigger the step with a key, the step plays only as long as you
hold down the key (once the key goes up—or the note trigger switched to off, regardless of
sustain), the step stops playing.
Set Latch to On if you want the step to keep playing after you release the key (or other trigger)
that started the step. In this case, the step plays to its end point, or until you retrigger the step or
press Stop.
VelTrk
VelTrk lets you set the playback volume of the step according to the attack velocity you use to
trigger the step. Set VelTrk to On to do this. In this case, the original attack velocity of every Note
event in the gets scaled proportionally to the attack velocity of the note you play when
triggering.
