Song Mode and Sequencing
Getting Started with the Sequencer
3-5
highlighted when you press Edit, you’ll enter the Program Editor, which is not what you
want to do right now.) You should be looking at the COMMON page:
EditSong:COMMON||||||||||||||<>Track:1||

4. Now press the EVENT soft button to bring up the Event Editor, which looks something
like this:
EditSong:EVENT||(Ch|1)|||||||<>Track:1||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|||1:1||||1:1.000|CTRL|BANK|||0|||||||||
|||1:1||||1:1.000|PCHG|||34|||||||||||||
|||1:1||||1:1.000|CTRL|VOL||127|||||||||
|||1:1||||1:1.000|CTRL|PAN|||64|||||||||
|Cut||||Copy||Paste|||View||AllOn||Done|
As you can probably decipher, the Event Editor gives you access to an editable list of all
note, controller, and other MIDI events that Song mode uses to describe your sequence.
While you’re looking at the Event Editor, notice the data that the sequencer keeps track of,
even when no notes are played.
5. Use the Alpha wheel to scroll to the bottom of the event display.
The last event listed is your endpoint, which should be the first beat of the measure
following the last measure you want to record. For our four measures of silence, then, the
endpoint should be 5:1. The display below, however, shows that five measures have been
recorded:
EditSong:EVENT||(Ch|1)|||||||<>Track:1||
|||1:1||||1:1.000|CTRL|VOL||127|||||||||
|||1:1||||1:1.000|CTRL|PAN|||64|||||||||
|||6:1||||6:1.000|END|||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|Cut||||Copy||Paste|||View||AllOn||Done|
Fortunately, it’s quite easy to change the endpoint from 6:1 to 5:1 to remove the extra
measure that’s been accidentally recorded. (If your endpoint is at 5:1, you won’t need to
change it now. If, however, your endpoint is less than or greater than 5:1, you should
proceed with the next step.)
6. Check the endpoint, and change it if necessary.
