CREATING A SONG

3D ENDING A SONG

After programming your song, you have several ways to end it. This assumes that you’ve already entered all the segments, and that you are one step past the last step in which you entered a piece of song data (for example, if you’ve entered eight segments, the display’s lower line should now show Step 9:). Here are your options:

1.To repeat the song indefinitely (loop the song), press END (a flashing cursor will appear after End), and then press REPEAT. The display’s lower line will indicate that this step will continuously “loop” the song.

2.To link the end of your first song to the beginning of another song, press END (a flashing cursor will appear after End), then key in the two-digit number of the song you want to link. The display’s lower line will confirm your choice by saying “Link (song number)”.

3.To stop the SP-12 completely after the song, press END (a flashing cursor will appear after End). Press END a second time; the flashing cursor will disappear, and the display’s lower line will show End to confirm that the song ends at this step.

Note: Entering End at step 1 of the song (in other words, pressing END twice as described above In paragraph 3) erases the song. The display will ask “End Here? Yes/No” to check if you really want to do this. If you do, press YES.
