Link Beat

The two sequencers Tempo are linked together.

 

The Tempo data written into the Songs are

 

ignored. Adjust the Tempo using the TEMPO/

 

VALUE controls.

 

Start one of the sequencers, by pressing its own

 

PLAY/STOP control. Then, start the other

 

sequencer, by pressing the other PLAY/STOP

 

control; the second sequencer starts at the next

 

beat (quarter or octave, depending on the

 

Song’s Time Signature).

S2 FX Mode This parameter selects the effects mode for Sequencer 2. When a 4-effects Song is loaded, all four effects are used, independently from this setting.

AB

The A and B effect pair is used. Sequencer 2

 

shares its effects with Sequencer 1.

CD

The C and D effect pair is used.

 

Note: When this parameter is set to CD,

 

Sequencer 2 shares its effects with the Realtime

 

(Keyboard) tracks, so these effects can be changed

 

either selecting a Song for Sequencer 2, or select-

 

ing a Performance (unless the “Performance FX

 

Mode” parameter is set to Off – see below).

Performance FX Mode This parameter selects the effects mode for the Performance.

Off

When selecting a Performance, no effect is

 

selected.

CD

The Performance selects the C and D effect

 

pair.

 

Note: When both this parameter and the “S2 FX

 

Mode” parameter are set to CD, Sequencer 2

 

shares its effects with the Realtime (Keyboard)

 

tracks, so these effects can be changed either

 

selecting a Song for Sequencer 2, or selecting a

 

Performance.

SAVING A LIST OF SONGS

How to save a list of Songs contained in a folder

1.Press SONG PLAY to select the Song Play operative mode.

2.Press one of the A (S1:) VOLUME/VALUE button to select the Load Song page.

3.Use the F3 (Open) and F4 (Close) buttons to browse through the folders inside the floppy disk.

4.Move the folder you are looking for to the first line of the display. Use the TEMPO/VALUE controls, or the E-F (Scroll Up) and G-H (Scroll Down) VOLUME/VALUE buttons.

5.Once the folder is selected, press SHIFT + F2.

6.A dialog box will appear, asking you to insert a new floppy disk into the disk drive. Insert the disk, and press ENTER to confirm, or EXIT to abort.

Note: The text file will contain a list of “*.mid”, “*.kar” and “*.jbx” files only (i.e., the files you can select using the numeric keypad – see “Selecting a Song composing its progressive num- ber” on page 70). Folders and different kinds of files will not be included.

When saved, the text file will be named after the selected folder. For example, a folder named “Dummy” will generate a “Dummy.txt” file. If a file with the same name already exists on the floppy disk, it will be overwritten without waiting for any confirmation. A file containing the list of all valid files contained into the root of the disk will generate a “Root.txt” file.

The list will include the progressive number assigned to each Song, file names in MS-DOS format (8.3), the total number of files in the list.

For the correct display and printing of the list on a personal computer, use a fixed size (i.e., non-proportional) character in your text editor.

Warning: While the list may contain more than 9999 files, you can’t select Songs outside the 0001-9999 range when using the numeric keypad.
