SONG EDITING
The song editor is where the song is built. Here patterns are assigned to the song. The
behavior of the patterns is also set in the song editor.
1. Press the [KIT/SONG] key to open the SONG window. Move the cursor to the EDIT icon
using the [ARROW] keys.
2. Press [ENTER/YES] to open the EDIT SONG screen.
This is the main screen where you arrange your patterns into a song. You can edit the song
while it is playing. The two filled arrows on each side of one of the rows are the song posi-
tion pointers. They indicate which song step the sequencer is currently playing. In the
header of the menu, next to the text “EDIT SONG” there is a counter, indicating how many
bars and beats the song has played.
Use the [UP] and [DOWN] keys to select the song row you wish to edit. The [LEFT] and
[RIGHT] keys allow you to move the focus between columns. The LEVEL knob alters the
value of each setting.
ROW (song row) is the amount of steps the song consists of. A song can consist of a max-
imum of 200 rows. The song is played from row 0 to the end row.
PAT (pattern) is the column which shows which pattern is assigned to the row. Set the pat-
tern you want to be played on the song row using the LEVEL knob, or by pressing the
appropriate [BANK]+[TRIG] keys. You can also program loops in this column. See section
“SONG LOOPS”, on page 78 for more information on this. “END” marks can also be set
from this column. It can be found as the first item in the list of patterns, and marks the end
of the song, where the sequencer will be stopped.
REP (repeat) is the column where you control how many times the song row will be
repeated. Use the LEVEL knob to alter the number of repeats.
