Chapter 6 Creating and Editing Songs

■Modifying the Tone Changes in

a Song (PC Edit)

In some songs, the instrument sound changes during the course of the song (that is, the Tone changes in the middle of a Part). In such songs, an instruction to switch the Tone is inserted at the place where you want the sound to change. This instruction is called a “Program Change” (PC), and actions such as deleting program changes, or changing the selected Tone by them are called “PC editing.”

*It is not possible to insert a program change into a measure or beat that does not contain a program change.

At Step 3 of “Selecting the editing function” (p. 125), select <PC Edit>.

A screen like the one shown below appears.

Location Tone name

The PC-location display uses “Measure: Beat: Tick” as the format. A tick is a unit of time that’s shorter than a beat.

Touch to select the part with the program change to be edited.

The Part number appears at the top of the screen.

Use the [ (Bwd)] button and the [ (Fwd)] button or

use < > < > in the upper part of the screen to find the program change to be edited.

When you’ve found the Program Change you want to modify, touch “Tone Name” on the screen.

Press a Tone button to select a Tone group, then select a Tone with the [-] [+] buttons and the dial. When selecting Part 10 or 11, select the drum set or effect sound.

If you want to delete the Program Change, touch <Delete>.

When you’re done making all the settings, touch <Exit>.
