Song Chain functionThe Chain function allows you to prepare play lists of all the songs you want to use during a performance. The
advantage of working with song chains is that you do not need to select files between songs.
Programming Song Chains
(1) Insert the SmartMedia™ card that contains
the desired songs into the slot.
Note: The Chain function is only available for songs on
SmartMedia card – and only for one such card at a time.
You may therefore have to copy all desired songs to that
card before proceeding. See page 109 for details.
(2) Press the [CHAIN] button.
The display looks more or less as follows:
The long fields refer to the names of the Song
Chains already available on the inserted Smart-
Media card.
(3) Press the [Make≈New≈Chain] field in the upper
right corner.
You have just created a new Chain. Chains con-
sist of “steps” (up to 99) to which you can
assign one song each.
To assign a song to the first step, which is
already selected:
(4) Press the [Song≈List] field.
(5) Locate the song you wish to assign to step 01.
• If it is already displayed, continue with step (6)
below.
• If it is not yet displayed, use the [ø] [˚] fields in
the lower right of the display to change pages.
• You can also use the following fields for nar-
rowing down your search if you are over-
whelmed by the number of songs (and pages
you need to scroll): [Index], [Song≈Name],
[Author], [Genre], and [Finder]. See page 71.
(6) Select the song you wish to assign by press-
ing its field (so that it is displayed in white).
(7) Press the [ENTER] field.
This takes you back to the following page. The
song is assigned to step 01, and step 02
becomes the last one of your chain (*End*):
The [02≈*End*] field is selected automatically, so
you can assign a song to it right away.
(8) Repeat steps (4)~(7) above to assign a song to
this step.
After assigning a song to step 06, the *End*
message automatically jumps to the first field
on the next page (step 07).
(9) Continue assigning songs to new steps until
your chain is complete.
