Song Scene

The explanations here apply to step #6 of the Basic Procedure on page 179.

Song Scene is a powerful function that allows you to save five different “snapshots” of important song- related parameters — including transpose, tempo, track mute status, and the basic sound/mixing controls (all parameter settings controllable from the Knobs and CS sliders).

nThe Song Scene settings can be set independently for each song.

● [F2] Song Play Groove
The Grid Groove function makes it possible to
adjust the pitch, timing, length, and velocity of
notes in a specified track via a 1-measure 16th-note
grid to create “grooves” that would not be possible
with precise sequencer-like programming. The Grid
Groove function affects song playback without
actually changing the sequence data.
