Save this song? Dialog

The following dialog appears after you have recorded a track and pressed Stop, or if you have entered the Song Editor and made changes, then pressed Exit, or if you press Save in the Song Editor.

Savechangestothissong?

PlayOldPlayNewStopYesNo

PlayOld appears along with the PlayNew soft button in the “Save this song?” dialog after the recording process has been stopped. Pressing PlayOld will play the current song, minus the last, but not yet saved, recorded data. The exception is when there is no previously recorded data (that is, recording the first track of a NewSong), then you will only have a Play soft button to audition the recorded data just entered.

PlayNew/Play soft buttons allow you to play all of the recorded data, including data on the track(s) you have just recorded.

Stop halts the playback of either the Old or the New version of the song you are currently auditioning. Press the Stop soft button to stop the playback or recording, and reset the song’s location to either the default Bar 1, Beat 1 value, or to whatever location you defined in the Locat parameter.

Yes saves the data on the track(s) you just recorded. Whatever was played back when you pressed PlayNew will be the version of the song to be saved when you press Yes. The “Save New Song?” Dialog (shown below) will be displayed.

No returns you to the Song-mode page in which you were last recording, without saving any unsaved changes to the current song.
