Track Number (Track)
is parameter is available only when Rec Track is set to None or Mult (replacing the
Program parameter). It indicates which track is currently being triggered by the keyboard,
and you can use this eld to select a track.
Tempo
e Tempo parameter determines the initial tempo for the selected song. e song will
always start playback at the initial tempo. Whatever the tempo is set to when you record
your rst track will be the song’s initial tempo. During playback, the current tempo is shown
in this eld. During recording, changing the tempo value will record changes to the Tempo
Track. e initial tempo and other tempo changes can also be edited in the event list for the
Tempo Track. e Tempo track also allows you to program more precise fractional tempos
with two decimal places.
To quickly change a song’s initial tempo, make sure the song is stopped, press the RECORD
button to change the Song Status Rec Ready, set the desired tempo, then press the RECORD
button again to change the Song Status to Stopped. e initial tempo can also be changed
at the top of the event list for the Tempo track on the Event page (see “Event Page” on page
7-20). Make sure to save the song after changing the initial tempo.
Note: You can also set the tempo using the TAP TEMPO button (located in the front panel
ARPEGGIATOR section). To change the initial tempo, set the Song Status to Rec Ready,
then press the TAP TEMPO button a few times at the desired rate.
You can also set the tempo to be controlled by an external sequencer. Use the keypad
function of the CATEGORY buttons to enter “0” in the tempo eld, and press enter. “EXT”
will appear in the tempo eld. Any MIDI Time Clock (MTC) signal received at the PC4
SE’s USB or MIDI in port will now set the Song playback tempo.
Volume
You can set a volume level for each track as a value between 0 and 127. If the channel of
the Rec Track (or the control channel, if Rec Track is set to Multi or None) contains any
recorded volume change (continuous controller 7), the change will be reected as the Volume
parameter’s value in real time, as well as on the Mixer page. Also, changing the Volume value
while recording will write volume automation (CC 7 messages) to the current Rec Track’s
event list.
