Song editing methods

A variety of editing operations can be performed on a song. Here we will give some examples of how you can use various editing operations on the song you created in “Producing a song” (☞p.49), to prepare for creating a cue list as described in the next section.

Load the SEQ_DM1.SNG file that you saved on p.54. For the loading procedure, refer to p.63. In the expla- nations that follow, we will assume that the song you created has been loaded into song S000. After loading the song, press the [SEQ] key to enter Sequencer mode.

1. Copying a song

Here’s how to copy a song. This is convenient when you want to create different variations based on a song.

1Create a new song.

Access the Sequencer P0: Play/REC, Program T01–08 page.

Choose “Song Select,” use the numeric keys to input the song number that you want to newly create, and press the [ENTER] key. (For example, press the [1] key and then the [ENTER] key.)

A dialog box will appear.

Decide on the number of measures, input the number in “Set Length,” and press the OK button.

A new song will be created. Next we will copy the song settings and playback data of another song into this newly created song.

2Select the page menu command “Copy From Song.”

A dialog box will appear. Select the song that you want to copy (i.e., the copy source). If you select All, all song settings and playback data will be copied from that song. If you select Without Track/Pattern Events, set- tings other than Play Loop and RPPR will be copied. For this example, select All.

Press the OK button to execute the copy.

3As described in steps 1 and 2, create one more new song (S002), and copy song S000 to it.

2. Naming a song

Here’s how to assign a name to a song you created.

1Choose “Song Select,” to select a song.

For this example, select song 002.

2In the Sequencer P0: Play/REC, Program T01–08 page, select the page menu command “Rename Song.”

A dialog box will appear. Press the text edit button to access the text dialog box.

Press the Clear button, and input CHORUS (☞p.40). When you are finished inputting the name, press the OK button.

Press the OK button once again to execute the Rename operation.

3As described in steps 1 and 2, assign a name of

INTRO to S000, and VERSE to S001.

3.Setting the number of measures in the song

Here’s how to specify the number of measures in the song. By default, this is set to 64 measures. If you realtime- record for more measures than this, the song length will be the amount of measures you have recorded.

1Select song S000: INTRO.

In the P5: Track Edit page, press the [MENU] key to
