enabled, could be “lost”. In fact the text is stored in the song, and then read by
Megabeat One, with a certain anticipation on the performing time of the song
(therefore the text to be visualized on the display when the LYRICS function is
enabled, could have been “lost”, as it was contained in a previous part of the song
and when that part had been read the LYRICS function hadn’t been enabled yet).
Sometimes when you enable the LYRICS function, the text of the visualized
song could hide the last line of the display,(which usually shows the names of the
functions assigned to the SOFT KEYS). In this case the name of the EXIT function,
assigned to the central soft key, disappears from the display: however, even if the
indication has disappeared, the central soft key maintains the EXIT function
previously described.
The Megabeat One can use two methods to recognize Lyrics and Chords
inside a Midi File:
- Metaevents (Text and Lyrics),
- System Exclusive (Midisoft-WordBox format)
Text and Lyrics stored as System Exclusive are also echoed to external Midi
devices through the Midi Out port.

PLAY/STOP/CONTINUE
In the SINGLE PLAY mode it is necessary to choose a song by means of the
cursor, i.e. to highlight it, in order to play it. By pushing the PLAY button, the
highlighted song is selected and then performed.
On the right side of the display in the field called “TITLE” the following
indications are visualized:
◆
the name of the song being performed;
◆
the time signature (4/4, 3/4, etc.);
◆
the current position (measures and quarters: ex. 059.4);
◆
the tempo.
If during the performing of a song, the STOP button is pushed, the song
stops.
