2) Stop is pressed while recording any track past the previously set End point in Linear or
UnLoop Record Mode. Again, the new End point is aligned to the downbeat of the
(empty) Bar immediately following the last Bar you were recording when Stop was
pressed.
3) The AutoOut Bar and Beat is set past current End point, after recording in Auto RecMode,
and when the Þrst track is recorded in Auto RecMode, the AutoOut Bar and Beat becomes
the End point.
4) A new End point is entered in the EVENTS edit mode.
5) Using the Track edit functions Copy, Insert, and Delete to alter the SongÕs length.
The End point of a song is used as a loop point in Loop and UnLoop modes, and it deÞnes the
Fixed Length of a Song when you record in FixLen mode.
Linear - Record as if you had a nearly endless length of ÒtapeÓ.
FixLen - The song will not continue recording past the End point of the song when the
RecMode is set to Fixed Length. Recording will automatically stop at the End point.
Loop - While RECORDING, the song will play the data between 1 : 1 and the End point over
and over, allowing you to overdub in each pass if the Mode parameter on the MAIN SongMode
page is set to Merge. Make sure the Mode parameter is set to Merge if you intend to overdub in
Loop Record, or else each consecutive pass in Loop RecMode will erase the data recorded on
the previous pass. While you are still recording in Loop mode, you may selectively erase
individual note events by pressing and holding the Enter button and depressing the desired
notes on the keyboard during the times you would like them erased. Once the Song is saved,
you can not use this feature to erase individual notes.
UnLoop - When recording in UnLoop Mode, any existing tracks will be played back as if they
were looping from Bar 1 : Beat 1 to the End point, but they are actually being re-recorded
linearly over absolute Bars and Beats until you press Stop. UnLoop allows you to record a
linear track over a short looping section without Þrst having to copy the section over and over
again to achieve a new desired Song length. The End point of the Song is extended to the
downbeat of the (empty) Bar immediately following the last Bar you were recording when Stop
was pressed.
For example, let's say you have a recorded a four bar drum loop and now want to record an
eight bar bass line. This would be a situation where UnLoop would come in handy. While the
drum track keeps looping, the bass track will record in linear fashion, and the end point will be
moved to the point at which you press Stop. Actually, the drum track will also change. It will
play through its loop twice, but while the information is repeating in the loop, it will be
recorded to the track. So now if you look at the drum track, you will see information in bars 5-8
(a duplicate of the information in bars 1-4).
Auto - Set RecMode to Auto to punch-in record, (either in merge or erase mode), on a track
between the Bars and Beats DeÞned in AutoIn and AutoOut. To punch in and continue
recording until you press Stop, set the AutoOut point before the AutoIn point.
PlayMode
The PlayMode setting, along with the End point, determine how the Song or Songs are played
back.
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.
