Song Editor: The COMMON Page
Press the Edit button to enter the Song Editor. You’ll see the COMMON page, where you’ll find
parameters common to all tracks: tempo and time signature, control parameters for effects and
arrangements, and soft buttons for switching to other Song Editor pages.

The top line of this page displays the selected track or tracks. Select the available current track(s)
for editing by using the CHAN/BANK buttons. Press both of the CHAN/BANK buttons
together to select all tracks.
Although the current track information is displayed on the top line, the COMMON page’s
parameters are global settings for the song and do not directly affect individual tracks.
Tempo
This is another place where you can set the song’s initial tempo.
TimeSig
Affects the click, playback looping, and locate function—as well as some editing operations.
Does not change recorded data.
EffectChan
If the FX Mode and FX Chan parameters in Effects mode are set to Auto and Current
respectively, this parameter specifies which channel will control effects while in Song mode and
during playback of a song. In this situation, the effect assigned to the program (in the Program
Editor) currently on the channel designated as the EffectChan will be heard. EffectChan is
selectable per song.
