NOTE 1:
Remember that when you save data into a scene, you overwrite any data already existing
in that scene. Do not use a button that contains a scene that you may need later.
NOTE 2:
Be careful that you do not release the button too soon. If the button already contains a
scene, then releasing it too quickly will cause you to lose the settings that you wanted to
store.
How Do I Recall a Scene?
You can recall a scene with the sequencer in any mode (REC, REC STANDBY, PLAY,
or PLAY STANDBY) by briefly pressing and releasing the corresponding SCENE but-
ton ([TOP], [A],...[G]). Note the following points.
●
The scene change occurs (and is recorded) when you release the button, not
when you press it.
●
Be careful that you do not hold the button down too long—or you may inad-
vertently overwrite the scene data that you wanted to recall.
●
If you press the SCENE button for an empty scene, nothing will happen (current
settings will be left unchanged.)
What is the TOP scene, and Why Is It So Important?
You will want to set a TOP scene to insure that the song always starts up with the
same environment. Note the following points.
●
If you store a top scene, then the scene is recalled automatically each time you
return the position to the start of the song (from measure position 001:1).
●
The TOP scene is the only way to store a startup environment. It is not pos-
sible to directly record events at the start position of the song, since you can only
record events while the song is moving forward.
●
Even though you can store the top scene only while the sequencer is in PLAY or
PLAY STANDBY, once you have stored it the scene will be automatically recalled re-
gardless of the sequencer mode. In other words, the scene operates as if it were ac-
tually recorded into the song, even though it isn’t.
●
You are free to use the TOP scene also as a regular scene. While the scene is re-
called automatically when you go back to the beginning of the song, you can also
recall the scene manually at any song position, simply by pressing the button. (And
you can record these presses into your song, too.)
