VA-76 Owner’s ManualSong Composer (16-track, etc.)

Song RAM memory. (Songs programmed on other instruments that already contain two drum tracks can be used like VA-76 songs with a “2nd Drum track”, though.)

Select Off if you don’t need a second Drum Set, or set the number of the desired track. “10” is not available here because it always functions as Drum track.

Assigning the VariPhrase part by initializing the Song RAM memory

The [ on track 13] field allows you to decide whether or not the VariPhrase part should be used in your new song. Press this field and use the [TEMPO/ DATA] dial to select “On” if you want to assign the VariPhrase part to track 13. Otherwise, leave this parameter in the “Off” position.

5.Press the [EXECUTE] field to really initialize the Song RAM memory (which you haven’t done so far). The VA-76 now confirms that the Song RAM memory is initialized and then jumps to the [Master] 16-track Sequencer page.

All tracks will be initialized as follows:

Volume

100

 

 

Expression

127

 

 

Tone/

“Piano 1”

Drum Set

“Standard” Set for track 10 + 2nd Drum Track

6.See “Example 1: Recording a track” on page 142 for what to do now.

Initializing only track 13 for VariPhrase use

The following function allows you to initialize just track 13 for VariPhrase use, leaving the rest of the song untouched. This may come in handy when track 13 of an existing song contains nothing at all (or a part you no longer need). In that case, initialize it and record the desired VariPhrase part.

1.Press the [SONG COMPOSER] button and the [16 Tracks Sequencer] field.

2.Press the [Utility] field.

3.On the display page that appears now, press the [Initialize 13th Track] field.

The display now looks more or less as follows:

4.Press the [EXECUTE] field to initialize track 13. Remember that this erases the notes and other MIDI messages of that track.

5.See “Example 1: Recording a track” on page 142 for what to do now.
