Song Mode and the Song Editor
Song Editor: The TRACK Page
12-49
Below is an example of the TRACK page for the Bounce function.
You will notice that the page is divided into two halves, with the right half being a separate box
This is called the Region/Criteria box. The parameters in this box are used to select the range of
events (from a start Bar and Beat to and end Bar and Beat) for modification, as well as which
types of events function will affect.
The parameters in this box will generally be the same for most functions. For some functions,
however, some parameters may not apply. For example, Quantize and Transpose apply only to
notes, while Remap applies only to Controllers. In addition to the Region/Criteria box
parameters, the Locate parameter is also found on each function.
Since these parameters are common to most Track functions, we will define them first. Then
we’ll describe the individual functions along with the parameters specific to each, which are
normally found on the left side of the page. Two functions, (Quantize and Reference Quantize)
have a unique parameters in their Region/Criteria boxes. We’ll describe those parameters along
with the functions.
Once you’ve chosen a function and set the parameters to your liking, press Go. This executes the
editing function. You can then play the sequence to hear the results of your edit. If you don’t like
your edit, simply exit the editor and press No when you are asked if you want to save. If you do
like your edit, you can press Done and use the more buttons to get to Save, or just exit the editor
and save the changes. Or, you can go to another edit function. Keep in mind though, that if you
choose to perform more than one edit without saving, and you are not satisfied with one of the
changes you make, you will have to exit the editor without saving and then redo each of the
changes you made. That’s why it’s usually best to save after each successful edit.
Common Parameters for Edit Song: Track Functions
Locate
This parameter is available for every function on the TRACK page.
The Locate Bar and Beat will change in real time during play back and recording to reflect the
song’s current position. It can be set to any Bar and Beat, including negative values. Play back
begins at, and Stop resets the song to the Locate Bar and Beat.
