Song End
e Song End parameter determines the end point for the song. Note that when Time
Out and Song End are set to the same location, changes made to Song End are reected in
Time Out. When recording beyond your initially specied Song End point, you’ll notice
that the Song End location automatically moves and rounds to the next bar, so as to always
be ahead of the Locate time. It is possible to move the Song End point to a location before
other MIDI events (i.e., in the middle of the current song)—song mode will ignore (but not
delete) events after this point.
Time Signat
Use this parameter to set the time signature of the current song.
Overdub Mode
Set Overdub Mode to Merge to record events on record armed tracks, without deleting
previously recorded events.
Set Overdub Mode to Erase to record events on record enabled tracks, previously recorded
events within the time you are recording will be erased.
Record Mode
With the Record Mode parameter set to Linear, Song mode will record normally, from
where ever you start, to where ever you stop, or until the Song End point is reached.
With the Record Mode parameter set to PunchIn, Song mode will record events only
between the points set for Time In and Time Out parameters.
With the Record Mode parameter set to UnLoop, you can record a linear track over a short
looping section without rst having to copy the section over and over again. Any existing
tracks will be played back as if they were looping from the Time In to the Time Out point,
but they are actually being re-recorded linearly over absolute Bars and Beats until you press
Stop. e End point of the Song is extended automatically when Stop is pressed. To use
the UnLoop setting, a loop length must be set with the Time In and Time Out parameters.
(Note that if the Loop parameter is set to On, it will automatically be set to O when
recording with Record Mode set to UnLoop.)
For example, let’s say you have a recorded a four bar drum loop and now want to record an
eight bar bass line. is would be a situation where UnLoop would come in handy. While
the drum track keeps looping, the bass track will record in linear fashion, and the end point
will be moved to the point at which you press Stop. Actually, the drum track will also change.
It will play through its loop twice, but while the MIDI events are repeating in the loop, it
will be recorded to the track. So now if you look at the drum track, you will see events in
bars 5-8 (a duplicate of the events in bars 1-4).
