Song Mode: The MAIN Page
Song Status, also on the top line of the display, is always one of the following:
CurSong (Current Song)
The ID and 16-character name of the song currently selected for recording, playback or editing.
When a song is selected, Program Change, Volume, and Pan information is sent to all MIDI
channels assigned to tracks that have data on them, and the internal clock is set to match the
Tempo.
Tempo
Controls tempo for the selected song. You can make temporary changes, record real-time tempo
changes, or set an initial tempo for the current song.
The tempo you set when you record your first track becomes the song’s initial tempo. You can
change the tempo during playback, but the tempo reset to the initial tempo when song status
goes to
STOPPED.
To change a song’s initial tempo, press Record (the song status changes to REC|READY), set the
tempo, then press Stop. The initial tempo can also be changed with the Tempo parameter on the
EditSong : COMMON page. The song will always start playback at the initial tempo, even
though this tempo marker does not get recorded as a tempo event on any track.
If song status is RECORDING, any tempo value changes will be recorded in real time. Unlike the
special case of setting the initial tempo, any tempo changes recorded in real time are recorded as
tempo events.
