memory has played through to its End point, the sequencer will stop and that song will be the
new CurSong.
Chain: For every song, there is a parameter called ChainTo found on the COMMON page that
determines what other song, if any, will immediately follow this songÕs playback when
PlayMode is set to Chain. When the current song ends, the ChainTo song will replace the
previous CurSong, and if its ChainTo parameter is set to any value other than 0 None, then the
Chain PlayMode will continue playback with the next song being chained. When the last song
in the chain has played through to its End point, the sequencer will stop and that song will be
the new CurSong.
The most common use for the Chain PlayMode is to construct a set list of different songs. Since
the songs chained together are played immediately after one another, we recommend that you
include a few measures of silence either at the end or the beginning of each song in the Chain.
When you want to string songs together more seamlessly, you can create an arrangement with
the Arrangement Editor. See page 12-63 and page 12-12.
KeyWait
KeyWait speciÞes whether the sequencer will wait for a Note event before going into PLAYING
or RECORDING status. With the KeyWait On, press the Play soft button while the sequencer is
STOPPED or REC READY and the new status, KEY WAIT, will ßash in the Song Status Field
until a key is played. You can override the KEY WAIT status by pressing the Play soft button
twice.
Locate
The Locate Bar and Beat will change in real time during play back and recording to reßect the
songÕs current position. It can be set to a Bar and Beat before (negative values) or during a song.
Once a songÕs length is deÞned, the End point is the maximum value for the Locate parameter. If
Locate is not set to 1 : 1, the count off, if any, is disabled during play back or recording.
This parameter is identical to the Locate parameter on the MAIN page.
AutoIn
When you are in Auto record mode, AutoIn is the Bar and Beat when the recording will begin. If
AutoIn is not set to 1 : 1, the count off, if any, is disabled. The AutoIn setting will not have an
effect on recording unless the RecMode is set to Auto. When this parameterÕs value is
highlighted, pressing the In/Out soft button updates only the AutoIn parameter; it doesnÕt
update the AutoOut parameter.
AutoOut
When you are in Auto record mode, AutoOut is the Bar and Beat when the recording will stop.
Set the AutoOut location earlier than the Bar and Beat deÞned as the AutoIn point in order to
record to the very end of a song. The AutoOut setting will not have an effect on recording unless
the RecMode is set to Auto.
Input Quantize (Quant)
This parameter determines how much Note events are moved towards grid locations upon the
initial input of the events. If set to Off, no Quantizing will occur while you record, and the exact
timing of your performance will be preserved during play back. If set to 100%, every recorded
Note event will be aligned to the closest grid location, deÞned by the Grid setting. Input
