Song Mode and Sequencing
The MISC Page
3-29
The most common use for the Chain PlayMode is to construct a set list for gigs. Keep in mind
that each chained song start immediately after the previous song in the chain. Consequently, you
may want to include a few bars of silence at the beginning or end of chained songs, to allow for
a gap between them.
KeyWait
KeyWait specifies whether the sequencer waits for a Note event before recording or playback.
When KeyWait is On, and song status is STOPPED or REC|READY, pressing Play changes the
song status to KEY|WAIT. The sequencer starts when you play a note, or when you press Play
again.
Locate
The value of the Locate parameter shows where you are in the song (it’s identical to the Locat
parameter on the MAIN page). the value of the Locate parameter is displayed in terms of bar
(measure), and the beat within the current bar—a value of 1:1, for example, means Bar 1, Beat 1
(the beginning of a song). The value of the Locate parameter changes during play back and
recording to reflect the song’s current position.
You can also set the value manually when song status is anything but
RECORDING (changing the
value of Locate during recording stops recording).Setting a negative value enables you to create
a countoff before playback, or a customized countoff before recording (the Countoff parameter
on the MISC page allows only whole-bar countoffs).
AutoIn
When you’re in Auto record mode, the value of AutoIn sets the bar and beat at which recording
begins. If you set AutoIn to a value other than 1:1, there’s no countoff before recording,
regardless of the value of the Countoff parameter.
The AutoIn setting does not affect recording unless the RecMode parameter is set to Auto.
AutoOut
When you’re in Auto record mode, the value of AutoIn sets the bar and beat at which recording
stops.
If you want to record to the end of a song, but don’t want to leave Auto record mode, set the
value of AutoOut to a location preceding the value of AutoIn. for example, if AutoIn is 8:1, set
AutoOut to 7:4 or any earlier (lower) value.
The AutoOut setting does not affect recording unless the RecMode parameter is set to Auto.
Quant (Input Quantizing)
Quantizing moves Note events so that the intervals between notes are more even. There are two
ways to quantize the notes in your songs: as you record them, or after you record them. The
Quant parameter controls the amount of input quantizing—that is the quantizing that occurs
during recording. The Quant parameter works together with the Grid parameter, which sets the
maximum amount that notes can get moved. (See Grid below.)
The value of Quant is a percentage of the maximum . A value of Off means no quantizing; this
preserves the exact timing of what you recorded. A value of 100% means maximum quantizing,
