Song Mode and the Song Editor
The Song Editor
12-41
The Song Editor
In general, you’ll get to the Song-editor pages by pressing the Edit button any time you’re in
Song mode. There’s one exception: if the Program parameter is currently highlighted on the
display, you’ll enter the Program Editor when you press Edit.
There are a few conventions shared by all of the Song-editor pages (except the ARRANGE page).
Displayed at the top of each Song-editor page is the name of the page and the currently selected
track (1–16, or all tracks). All of the values for the parameters found in any of the Song-editor
pages are saved in the song object.
Soloing the Current Track
On all of the Song-editor pages, you can solo the current track by pressing either the Setup or
Quick Access mode buttons (you can press the Program mode button to mute the current track).
This in effect mutes all other tracks in the current song. Using the Chan/Bank buttons allows
you to select the current track for editing and/or soloing. You can select the track to solo even if
you are already in solo mode.
Song Editor: The COMMON Page
Press the Edit button on the front panel of the K2661 to display the COMMON page and begin
editing a song. This is where you will find parameters common to all tracks, such as tempo and
time signature, control parameters for effects and arrangements, and soft buttons for switching
to other Song-editor pages.
