5.3.3 QUICK
START
This parameter enables the Quick Start function, used by Megabeat One to
speed up the reading of the first beats of a song.
These beats usually do not contain notes, but only messages of Program
Change, Bank Select..., that is something that “does not make a sound”.
If the first “empty” beats are read at the normal reading speed of the song
(which depends on the selected tempo), you will have to wait before the starting
of the music.
But when the QUICK START parameter is enabled, Megabeat One reads the
first beats of the song at a very high speed, until it meets the first note. From that
moment on, the song plays at the normal speed selected by the metronomic
tempo.

OTE
When QUICK START is enabled, some expanders could have difficulty in
processing the information sent to them at a high speed.
If your expander has an irregular behaviour when QUICK START is enabled
(e.g. it “looses” some Program Changes, some Volume settings, etc.), you may
disable the parameter:
QUICK START Disabled.
In order to set up the QUICK START parameter:
1.
enable the GLOBAL SETUP function (as above described);
2.
position the cursor on the QUICK START parameter;
3.
press the CHANGE soft key (every time you press this soft key, the
parameter value will change: “ENABLED” - “DISABLED”);
4.
save the changes with the SAVE soft key, or leave without saving, with the
EXIT soft key.
