Using the Song Sequencer

Mixer Settings in the Song Sequencer Mode

You can access the mixer during playback, playback standby, or record standby (C-4 (RECORD) button flashing), or while recording is in progress (C-4 (RECORD) button lit). Press the C-5 (MIXER) button to display the mixer screen. To return to the song sequencer mode screen, press the C-5 (MIXER) button again or press the R-15 (EXIT) button.

The table below shows how mixer parts correspond to song sequencer parts.

Supported Mixer Operations during Playback or Playback Standby

All mixer settings can be configured during playback or playback standby, subject to the following precautions.

•If you want to change mixer settings during playback standby, change them after selecting the song you want to play back. If you change mixer settings and then change the song selection, the header settings of the newly selected song will be recalled and mixer settings will be changed accordingly.

•The only mixer settings you can change during playback standby are those that are included in the song header of the currently selected song. If mixer settings were changed part way through when recording the song, the later recorded mixer settings will supersede any settings you make during playback standby.

Supported Mixer Operations during Record Standby

The mixer settings for the parts shown below (excluding part on/off) are supported, depending on the track being recorded to. Settings are recorded to the header settings (page E-67), the same way settings are stored when recording is started.

Supported Mixer Operations During Recording

Mixer settings cannot be configured during recording to the system track.

Configuration of mixer settings (except for part on/off) is supported for a part (B01 through B16) that corresponds to a track when recording to any track from 01 through 16 shown. Any change in a mixer setting on the mixer screen is recorded as soon as it is made.

For details about mixer functions and operations, see “Using the Mixer” (page E-39).

Using Panel Record to Rewrite Song Header Settings

The header of each song contains “header settings”, which are settings that were in effect on the Digital Keyboard when recording was performed. You can use a “panel record” operation to rewrite a song’s header settings with the Digital Keyboard’s current setup.

The following items are header settings that can be rewritten using the panel record operation.

•Rhythm selection

•Tempo setting

•Scale setting

•The mixer settings below

–All part parameters from A04 through A07 and B01 through B16 (Excluding part on/off)

–Part parameters from A09 through A16: part on/off, coarse tune, fine tune, scale enable, DSP line

–DSP parameters: volume, pan, reverb send

•Effect settings

•Accomp volume

•UPPER 1 part tone, UPPER 2 part tone, and LOWER part tone selections

To perform a panel record operation

1.Press the C-3 (SONG SEQUENCER) button to enter the song sequencer mode.

2.Use the dial or R-14 (–, +) buttons to select a song area number.

3.Configure panel settings so they reflect the settings you want to write as the header settings.

•You can configure the following settings: mixer settings, tempo, system track rhythm, track tone selection, etc.

•To change the system track UPPER 1, UPPER 2, and LOWER part tones or mixer settings, use the mixer to change the settings of parts A05 (UPPER 1), A06 (UPPER 2), and A07 (LOWER).

4.After all of the panels settings are the way you want, hold the R-13 (FUNCTION) button as you press the C-13 (MENU) button.

•This displays the song sequencer menu.
