CREATING A SONG

8.When you reach step 13, press REPEAT to end the repeat, and then press 05 to indicate that you want segments 65, 66, 67, and 68 repeated five times. Finally, press ENTER to enter this step into the SP-12’s memory.

9.At step 14, press END twice to unconditionally end the song.

10.Now start the SP-12. It will play back the song, with the lower display line showing each segment as it occurs.

11.Editing: To insert a repeat after entering a series of segments, first stop the SP-12, and then use the INSERT command to create a new step. You may then enter a repeat instruction in this new step.

Note: It is possible to create “illegal” repeat commands when using the INSERT and DELETE buttons, such as having one repeat inside another repeat. The SP-12 will not follow these illegal commands, but rather, will look for the last begin repeat command and execute this loop, ignoring any other loops.

3G CHANGING THE SONG DRUM SOUND MIX

A song initially has a default drum sound mix where all drums are at the same level. However, you may insert a “change mix” command as one of’ the song steps (usually, the first song step will specify the desired initial mix). Segments, which play after the change mix command, will reflect the new mix. You may select from any of the eight drum sound mixes (as defined in Section 1K), and have an unlimited number of mix changes during the course of a song.

To change a mix, follow these steps:

1.At the song step immediately prior to where you want the mix to change, press MIX CHANGE. If you have already programmed a song and want to add a mix change, insert a song step and then press MIX CHANGE. The display’s lower line will show the song step number and Mix #, with a flashing cursor after the #.

2.Use the keypad to key in the number representing the desired drum mix (see Section 1L); leading zeroes are not entered in this case. The display will confirm your choice of mixes.

3.Press ENTER, Right Arrow, or Left Arrow to enter the change mix command into the SP-12’s memory.
