8 Editing and Creating a SONG

When in SONG mode, the EDIT button is used to enter the song edit mode. This mode is used for creating or editing a song, which is a list of parts. The display appears as follows:

The step number can be moved forwards or backwards with the fast forward and rewind buttons. The part number is underlined, indicating that it can be changed with the keypad or +/- buttons. If a song is empty, the first step's part will be blank. The step past the last part of a song will also display a blank part. To change a part, simply type in a new part number. To erase a step, hold ERASE and press RECORD. The displayed step will be erased, and all parts from the steps past the erased step will shift down one step. To insert a part, press and hold COPY. The display will read:

The keypad or +/- buttons can be used to change the part number. Pressing RECORD inserts the part at the displayed step, and moves the previously displayed step and all subsequent steps one step back. When the buttons are released, the display reverts back to the song edit display.
