Song Mode and the Song Editor
GM
TempoControl
When the current song is composed of other songs entered as steps in the Arrangement Editor,
the TempoControl parameter determines whether the current song’s tempo setting or the
arranged songs’ tempo settings will be the tempo(s) used for the playback and recording of the
arrangement.
Set TempoControl to Song if you want to use the current song’s tempo as the master tempo. All
of the steps’ songs will playback at the same tempo, ignoring the tempos originally set for each
song when you recorded or edited them.
Use the Arrangement setting for TempoControl if you would like the current song (containing
arrangement data) to playback and record at the tempos originally defined in each arrangement
step’s song, ignoring its own tempo setting. The master tempo will change to the tempo of the
current step’s song.
TriggerChan
This parameter controls the MIDI channel used to trigger arrangement steps via key presses as
defined in the Arrangement Editor.
TriggerCtl
This parameter specifies the global control source used to enable the triggering of arrangement
steps via key presses as defined in the Arrangement Editor. For example, suppose you set this
parameter to a value of MIDI 29, which by default is the destination of Panel Switch 2
(Button 10). When Panel Switch 2 is on, striking any key in the trigger range (specified by the
LoKey and HiKey parameters on the ARRANGE page). If you set this parameter to ON, striking
a key in the trigger range always triggers a step.
TrackDest
TrackDest|:LLL-|M---|-M--|---x||||||||||
DrumTrack|:D---|----|-D--|----||||||||||
The MIDI data on each track has a destination assignment selectable with the TrackDest
parameter. There are four possible indicators:
–: This is the default setting for all tracks in a new song. It means that MIDI data on the track are
transmitted both locally to the K2661, and out the MIDI Out Port on the track’s channel to any
external devices.
L: The track’s MIDI data will be transmitted locally only, to the K2661’s internal sound
generator. None of the track’s MIDI data will be sent to the MIDI Out Port.
M: The track’s MIDI data will be transmitted only to MIDI Out.
x: Disable the transmission of the track’s MIDI data either locally or to MIDI. This is a quick way
to mute a track more permanently without erasing it.
DrumTrack
Any of the song’s tracks can be defined as Drum Tracks so that their Note events do not get
transposed when a transposition is applied in the Arrangement Editor.
This feature is particularly useful when a drum kit program (or any other nonpitched program)
is used in a song, assigned to a step of an arrangement, which is being triggered over a range of
