WORK WITH SONG SECTIONS
Once you have a few sequences set up, you can use Song Mode to record song sections.
When Song Mode is enabled, you will record into the currently selected song section.
While recording a section, you can record turning sequences on and off over time. You
can record multiple sections to playback as a complete song. You can have up to 16
sections in a preset. Swipe the touch screen to scroll up and down through the list of
sections.
To Toggle Song Mode:
When you create a new preset, by default Song Mode is turned off. This means that
blackbox is recording and playing sequences. Song sections are ignored in this mode.

toggle Song Mode on or off:
1.
Push the
SONG
button below the screen.
2.
Touch the
Song
button at the top of the screen to toggle
Song Mode. Song Mode is enabled when the on-screen
button is blue.
