Converting a song

Although it is not possible to record additional material onto tracks in a cue list, you can convert a cue list to a song, and then record solos etc. on vacant tracks. You will also need to convert a cue list to a song if you wish to save it on a floppy disk etc. as SMF data.

1Select the page menu command “Convert to Song”. A dialog box will appear.

2In “To Song,” specify the destination song number for the converted data.

The cue list name will automatically be assigned as the song name of the converted data. (For details and cau- tions regarding “Convert to Song,” refer to PG p.61.)

If you select a new song as the conversion destination, it is not necessary to specify “Set Length” in the dialog box that appears. The number of measures in the con- verted song will be used. Press the OK button, and the Convert Cue List dialog box will appear.

3Press the OK button.

The cue list will be converted into a song. Access the P0: Play/REC page, select the song number that you specified as the conversion destination, and check the results.
