Song Mode and the Song Editor
Song Mode: The MAIN Page
Volume (Vol)
You can set an initial volume level for the playback and recording of each track as a value
between 0 and 127. If the channel of the RecTrk (or the control channel, if RecTrk is set to Multi
or None) contains any recorded volume change (controller code 7), the change will be reflected
as the Vol parameter’s value in real time.
To change a track’s initial volume quickly, press Record, change the value of Vol, then press
Stop.
Pan
You can set an initial pan position (the balance between the Left and Right audio channels) for
the playback and recording of each track as a value between 0 and 127. A value of 64 is center. If
the channel of the RecTrk or the control channel contains any panning data (controller code 10),
the Pan parameter’s initial value for the current track is modified in real time.
To change a track’s initial pan position quickly, press Record, change the value of Pan, then
press Stop.
Mode
If Mode is set to Merge you will be able to overdub when recording on a track containing
previously recorded data. You’ll usually want to set Mode to Merge when RecMode (on the
MISC page) is set to Loop. Otherwise, each time through the loop, the previously recorded
information will be erased.
If you set Mode to Erase, the previously recorded data on the record enabled track will be
replaced with the new data only during the Bars and Beats you are actually recording, and the
previously recorded data before and after the newly recorded Bars and Beats will be preserved.
Location (Locat)
The Bar and Beat displayed as the Locate value changes relative to current location of the song
during playback and recording. You can set this to a negative Bar and Beat location to start
playback a set length of time before the beginning of the song.
Whenever you set the Locate point, that location will be used as the return point when Stop is
pressed. Simply press Stop again to reset the song to the top (1 : 1).
