CREATING A SONG

We can simplify this by using the repeat function:

Song Step #

Segment to be Played or Instruction

Step 1:

Begin Repeat

Step 2:

61

Step 3:

End repeat 4 (┼ 4)

Step 4:

62

Step 5:

63

Step 6:

67

Step 7:

68

Step 8:

Begin Repeat

Step 9:

65

Step 10:

66

Step 11:

67

Step 12:

68

Step 13:

End Repeat 5 (┼ 5)

Step 14:

End

Here’s how you would use repeat instructions to advantage in this example:

1.At step 1, press REPEAT. The right-hand display shows ┼ the begin repeat sign. Press ENTER to enter this step into the SP-12’s memory. Note that the SP-12, being such an intelligent fellow, will automatically insert the right kind of repeat mark -- if there is no begin repeat instruction in the song, it will insert a begin repeat command when you press REPEAT; if a begin repeat already exists, then the SP-12 will give you an end repeat command when you press

REPEAT.

2.At step 2, key in the segment number, then press ENTER to enter this step into the SP-12’s memory.

3.At step 3, press REPEAT; the display’s lower line will show the ┼ end repeat sign and the default setting of 02 repeats, with a flashing cursor under the first digit.

4.Specify the number of times you want the repeat to occur. This can be done with the keypad, or you can increment the default setting with the Right Arrow key or decrement the default setting with the Left Arrow key. In this example, you would key in 04. Leading zeroes must be entered for single-digit repeat numbers. Finally, press ENTER to enter the number of repeats into the SP- 12’s memory.

5.Enter segments 62, 63, 67, and 68 as described in Section 3C.

6.When you reach step 8, press REPEAT. The display’s lower line will show a begin repeat symbol.

7.Enter segments 65, 66, 67, and 68.
