Song Mode and Sequencing
The MISC Page
Linear
Set the PlayMode to Linear to hear the current song played only once, from the song position set
in the Locate parameter to the end point. The song will be returned to the Locate bar and beat
when it reaches the end point.
Loop
This causes the current song to loop from the end point back to Bar 1, Beat 1 continually during
playback until Stop is pressed.
List
When PlayMode is List, songs get played back-to-back in numerical order (by their IDs),
beginning with the current song. When the current song reaches its end point, the CurSong
parameter is updated to the next highest song ID, and that song plays from Bar 1, Beat 1 to its
end point.
The sequencer plays through all songs in memory (unless you press Stop before it finishes).
When the song with the highest ID finishes playing, the sequencer stops and that song remains
as the current song. You’ll see it as the value for the CurSong parameter on the MAIN page.
Chain
There’s a parameter called ChainTo on the COMMON page. When PlayMode is Chain, the
value of the ChainTo parameter determines which song plays after the current song. When the
current song ends, the ChainTo song (if any) replaces the previous CurSong, and plays to its end
point. You can chain as many songs together as you like. The last song in the chain should have
a value of 0 None for its ChainTo parameter. when the last song finishes playing, the sequencer
stops.
Here’s an example. Suppose you have two songs: 200*Overture, and 201*Middleture. You want
to play 200, followed by 201.
1. On the MAIN page, select the CurSong parameter, and change its value to 200*Overture.
Press Edit to enter the Song Editor. you should be on the EditSong:COMMON page.
2. Select the ChainTo parameter, and set its value to 201*Midd. Press Exit. This brings up the
Save dialog.
3. Press Yes, then press Replace. This returns you to the MAIN page in Song mode.
4. Change the value of the CurSong parameter to 201*Middleture. Press Edit.
5. Select the ChainTo parameter, and set its value to 0 None. Press Exit. This brings up the
Save dialog.
6. Press Yes, then press Replace. This returns you to the MAIN page in Song mode.
7. Press the MISC soft button to go to the MISC page.
8. Select the PlayMode parameter, and set its value to Chain.
9. Press the MAIN soft button to return to the MAIN page. Change the value of the CurSong
parameter to 200*Overture.
10. Press Play. You’ll see the value of CurSong change when Song 200 finishes and Song 201
begins.
