Song Mode and Sequencing
Song Mode: The MAIN Page
3-19
Fractional Tempos
You can use fractional tempos (120.5, etc.) in your sequence. However, the initial tempo can not
be fractional, and you cannot enter a fractional number in the tempo parameter on the MAIN or
COMMON pages. You must first record a real time tempo event, then go to the EVENT editor
and change it to a fractional amount.
To do this, press Record, then Play. The sequencer starts recording. Use any data entry method
to choose a tempo. The value is unimportant since you will be changing it in the Event Editor.
Next press Stop and save the song. Now when you go to the Event Editor (see page 3-37), you
will see a tempo event. You can now edit the value to a fractional amount. To have the song start
immediately with the fractional tempo, edit its location to 1:1:000.
Recording Track (RecTrk)
Determines which track is enabled for recording. Set the recording track to Multi to record more
than one channel simultaneously or to use a setup in your song.
When RecTrk is set to a single track ( 1–16 ), Record (R) is displayed for that track in the Track
Status Indicator field (above the Track Channels). Conversely, when any Track’s Status Indicator
is changed to Record (R), that Track is shown as the value for the RecTrk parameter.
There’s one exception: when RecTrk is already set to Multi, you can select the recording tracks
by toggling the Track Status Indicator to Record (R), and the RecTrk will remain set to Multi.
When Multi is initially selected, all of the empty tracks become record-enabled. Tracks
containing data remain set to play (P), but you can manually set them to record (R).
The parameter(s) below RecTrk change according to the value of RecTrk and whether you select
a setup. If RecTrk is set to a single track (1-16), Program is displayed and you can select the
program to be assigned to that track. If you change RecTrk to Mult or None, the display changes
to show the Channel parameter followed by the Program parameter (although the the word
Program no longer appears). An example of this is shown in the screen below. If you switch
through the channels, the program also changes, showing the program currently on that
channel. Finally, when RecTrk is Mult, if you go directly to Setup Mode and then back to Song
mode, the parameter changes to Setup, allowing you to choose a setup with which to record.
Program
Scroll through the programs in memory to select the program before initially recording each
track of your song. Any MIDI program changes on the current RecTrk or Chan will cause the ID
and name of the track’s program to change during playback.
This parameter’s name, “Program,” is not visible when the RecTrk is set to None or Multi (to
make room for the Chan parameter), but the value is still displayed.
This parameter is replaced with Setup when you select a Setup for playback or recording. The
Setup parameter functions similarly to Program.
