The MIDI TRACK screen is an excellent way to view your song as
a
whole;
f
or example,
y
ou might notice that “this section looks
’
busier’, so it’s probabl
y
right before the break.”
This shows an overview of the recorded
performance.

You can edit the rhythm track recorded in the song!
Af
ter
y
ou’ve recorded the rh
y
thm in a MIDI track, there might be times when
y
ou decide that it would be nice to have a

ll here, or a
b
reak there. No problem! Just use the edit function to modif
y
the MIDI track. One of the great things about MIDI tracks is that after
y
ou’re

nished recording the rhythm track, you can
f
reely edit each individual note with incredible detail to create absolutely any
rhy
t
h
m
y
ou can imagine.
For more details, refer to “Editing a Song (MIDI Track)” (p. 94) in the owner’s manual.
