Lesson 17
Overview of Track Modes
A track is a structured sequence of patterns. It can be a short sequence
for making loops or the drum track for a complete song. There are two
track modes available on the
Mode
switch. Track Write mode is where
you compose and program tracks. Track Play mode is where you play
and perform tracks.
Your drum machine can store up to 9 tracks which are selected using
the
Track/Instrument
switch. Each track may be up to 240 bars in
length, where a ’bar‘ refers to one complete cycle of a pattern regardless
of the pattern's length.
Within the Track modes, the patterns that make up a track are displayed
graphically through the
[#]
buttons. Up to 16 bars can be displayed at
one time, and therefore a track may span multiple pages. Cycle through
the pages using
[PAGE]
,or hold
[PAGE]
and select a page's corresponding
[#]
button to jump to that page. When the track is displayed, the indicator
color of each bar corresponds to the color of that bar's pattern.
Many of the techniques learned in prior lessons can be applied in the
Track modes, such as selecting and looping a range of bars, copying
and pasting bars, and navigating pages using
[PAGE]
.
Set the System Color
You can customize the system color of your drum machine's LED
indicators. While in either Track Play or Track Write mode, press
[FUNC]
+
[LED]
and the step buttons will light up to display an array of
colors. Press the button for the color you want to use for the system
color then press
[FUNC]
to exit the color menu. The default system color
is red.
