Track Player
Track Player is audio file player and recorder. You can create playlist of your favorite tracks that can be played along with your live performance.
With integrated time-stretching, it is also a great tool for training.
Click the PLAYLIST button on the Track Player to open Playlist editor. Click ADD to add files to the playlist. To change the order of audio files in the
playlist, select one or more tracks and press the MOVE UP or MOVE DOWN button. Files can be removed from the playlist by selecting them and
pressing REMOVE button. By clicking REMOVE ALL you can start creating a new playlist.
Playlists can be also stored and retrieved with the use of the LOAD and SAVE buttons.
After the creation of your playlist, you can:
< Turn the DATA wheel to select a track for playback. To control playback, you can use the standard STOP, PLAY, and PAUSE buttons. To seek
within the track, click or hold the “<<” (REW) or “>>” (FF) button.
< To record your live performance (including effects), press the REC button. When recording is stopped, the recorded track is automatically
added to the playlist and selected so you can play back what you have recorded.
There are several options regarding playback:
MODE button - toggles between playing each track separately and playing all the tracks continuously.
REPEAT button - switches between repeating of one track or all tracks, depending on Mode setting.
TIME button - toggles between the remaining and elapsed time of the track on the display
DISPLAY - shows information about:
< Selected track
< Playing track
< Elapsed, remaining or recorded track time
< Transport status
< Playback mode
You can loop playback inside a track and jump to the beginning of the loop by using special Loop Keys (see Keyboard control).
Track Player also offers the possibility of slowing down or speeding up the track without changing the pitch. Playback speed can be controlled with
SPEED knob. For example, this feature can be useful when learning the guitar solo from your favorite song.
