Using the Undo/Redo functions
If you’re not satisfied with the results of a just-executed Job, or you want to hear the difference of the sound before and
after using a Job, you can use the convenient Undo and Redo functions. After changing the data with a particular Job,
repeat steps #1 -4 as desired.
1Press the [SONG] button to return to the Song Play mode, then press the [F] button to hear the Song as it was
changed by the Job.
This lets you check the results of the Job.
2After stopping the song, press the [JOB] button followed by the [F1] UNDO button to call up the Undo display.
Press the [ENTER] button to execute Undo.
The Song data is restored to its previous state.
3Press the [SONG] button to return to the Song Play mode, then press the [FF
FF] (Play) button to play the song.
This lets you check the sound before actually making changes to it with the Job.
4After stopping the song, press the [JOB] button followed by the [F1] UNDO button to call up the Undo display.
Press the [ENTER] button to execute the Redo.
This lets you “redo” the Job, restoring the Song to the changes you made before using Undo in step #2 above.
nUndo/Redo is applied to the most recent operation (Job, Edit, Record, etc.).
nThe Undo/Redo Job is available also in the Pattern Job mode.
Editing Mixing parameters to complete a Song (in the Mixing mode/Mixing Edit mode)
In this final step (other than saving your precious work, which we’ll cover next), you can mix down your tracks with the Song
Mixing function – adjusting the volume balance and pan setting of all the parts and tweaking the effect levels.
nThe explanations here also apply to the Pattern mode.
Select the menu you wish to edit by pressing the [F1] - [F4] buttons, then edit the parameters in each display.
You can use the Song Mixing mode for Sample Mixing as well. For information on the available parameters, see page 233.
If you wish to edit more detailed Mixing parameters, enter the Song Mixing Edit mode.
