2.3.10 Putting the Song Together

Now we’ll build a song using the samples we have recorded into our ten sample tracks in bank 1.

The song will consist of ten sections, as outlined on page 49 and again below. For each section we will use a different muting arrangement. For FREE tracks only, we’ll prepare two different sound setups (Setup “A” and Setup “B”), and use one or the other of these in each section.

In order to establish the sound changes at the start of each section, we will use scenes. Each scene stores an entire environment: all mute settings and all knob settings for all tracks we are using. First we will prepare the environments and store them into scene memory. Then, when recording the song, we will record a scene- button press at the start of each section. This button-press will record a scene-recall event that will automatically recall the required environment.

Note that the top scene is a special scene that is automatically recalled whenever you return the song to its top position.

NOTE:

In addition to mute and knob settings, scenes also store the effects setup. For more about scenes, refer to pages 176 to 181.
