Song Mode and Sequencing
The Song Editor (EditSong Pages)
ChainTo
The ChainTo setting is used only when the PlayMode parameter on the MISC page is set to
Chain—allowing you to play multiple songs automatically. The value of this parameter
represents the song that will play when the current song finishes.
Parameters Used With the Arrangement Feature
The next four parameters—as well as the Drum Track parameter—work with the Arrangement
feature, which you access by pressing the ARRANG soft button. This feature allows you to
create a special type of song called an arrangement. An arrangement is a song containing a
series of sections, called steps. You can save the various sections of a composition as separate
songs, then assemble them using the Arrangement Editor. This method allows you to save
memory, since you can repeat steps without having to duplicate the actual song data.
Another great feature within the Arrangement Editor gives you the ability to trigger steps by
striking a specific note or group of notes. See page 3-57 for more information on arrangement
features.
StartStep
The value of this parameter determines which step in the current song’s arrangement plays first.
If the value is None, you can’t play or stop the arrangement using the Play or Stop soft buttons,
but you can still trigger steps using Note events.
TempoControl
When the current song consists of other songs entered as steps in the Arrangement Editor, the
TempoControl parameter determines which song sets the tempo for recording and playback of
the arrangement.
Set TempoControl to Song if you want to set a master tempo defined by the song that serves as
the arrangement (that is, the song displayed as the value for the CurSong parameter on the
MAIN page). All of the steps (the songs in the arrangement) play at this tempo, ignoring their
original tempos. In other words, a value of Song sets a master (fixed) tempo that doesn’t change
during playback or recording.
A value of Arrange is just the opposite of Song; there’s no master tempo, and each step in the
arrangement plays at its original tempo. The sequencer ignores the tempo of the song that serves
as the arrangement.
TriggerChan (Trigger Channel)
This parameter controls the MIDI channel used to start the playback of arrangement steps using
Note On events. The value of TriggerChan must match the K2000’s current MIDI channel—or
the MIDI channel of your external controller—for step triggering to work. See Triggering Steps
From the Keyboard on page 3-60 for more information.
TriggerCtl
This parameter specifies which global control source enables the triggering of arrangement steps
using Note On events. See Triggering Steps From the Keyboard on page 3-60 for more information.
