e Track Status row is most useful for muting previously recorded tracks, or arming
multiple tracks when recording to more than one track at a time. When recording a single
track, you may nd it easier to use the Rec Track parameter to arm a single track at a time.
When an empty track (–) is selected, you can change the status to Record (R) by using the
ALPHA WHEEL.
Once a track contains events, it will have (P) as a Track Status, and it will be played during
playback. You now will be able to toggle between Play (P), Mute (M), and Record (R).
e track selected as the Rec Track will display an (R), designating it as the recording track. If
the Rec Track is set to Mult, the status of all empty tracks will change to Record (R), and any
track can be changed back to empty (–) , mute (M), or Play (P) if recording is not desired on
some tracks.
Channel
Each track has a MIDI Channel that it uses to receive and transmit events. By default, tracks
1–16 of a new song are assigned to Channels 1–16 respectively, although a track can play
or record on any channel and the same channel can be used for more than one track. Keep
in mind, however, that only one program can be assigned to a channel at a time, so if you
have more than one track assigned to the same channel, they’ll play the same program—the
one on the higher-numbered track, since that’s the most recent Program Change command
received on that channel.
Drum Track
Any of the song’s tracks can be dened as a Drum Track so that their Note events do not
get transposed if transposition is applied when using the track as a ri in a Multi (see
“Arpeggiator, CC Seq and Riff Page” on page 5-13 and “Transpose, Root Note” on page
5-17). With tracks designated as drum tracks, you can transpose a whole song that is being
used as a Ri, but the drum tracks will continue to play the correct sounds that they played
in the original key. Otherwise, the drum sounds would change with each transposition.
With the desired track number selected in the Drum Track eld, use the ALPHA WHEEL to
toggle between “Y”, to designate the track as a drum track, or “N” to designate the track as a
non-drum track.
e Drum Track settings do not have any eect on edits made in Song Mode. Any tracks
dened as Drum Tracks are still transposed when a transposition is applied to these tracks
from the Track Functions page.
