Recording Track (Rec Track)
The Rec Track parameter determines which track is record enabled. You can select a single
track, or set Rec Track to Mult to record more than one channel simultaneously. See the
Track Status section below for details on arming multiple tracks.
The parameter(s) below Rec Track change according to the value of Rec Track. If Rec Track
is set to a single track (1–16), Program is displayed and you can select the program to be
assigned to that track. If you switch through the channels, the program also changes, showing
the program currently assigned to that channel.
If you change Rec Track to None or Mult, the display changes to show Track. This field
indicates which track is currently being triggered by the keyboard, and you can use this Track
field to select a track.
Program
Use this field to select a program before initially recording each track of your song. A
program selected on the current Rec Track becomes the track’s initial program the first time
that the track is recorded. An initial program is the program that will be used for a track
when it is played from the start of bar 1 (or any other point if there are no program changes
and Control Chase is turned on, see “Control Chase” on page 8-17 ). Programs selected in
Program Mode are selected as the program on the current Rec Track when you enter Song
mode.
Follow these steps to change the current Rec Track’s initial program after recording has taken
place on that track. While the song is stopped, press Record, select the program, press Stop,
and save the song. (This preserves all changes you have made to any other track parameters:
volume, pan, tempo, etc.) You can also change the initial program at the top of a track’s
EVENT list (see “The EVENT Page” on page 8-36 ).
Any MIDI program changes recorded on the current Rec Track cause the ID and name
of the track’s program to change during playback. Program changes can be written to the
event list of the current Rec Track by changing the Program parameter while recording. If a
program change takes place, the program will only return to the initial program if triggered
by another program change, or if the song is stopped and restarted from the beginning. One
exception to this is when using the Control Chase feature, you would only need to restart the
song before the first program change in order to return to the initial program (see “Control
Chase” on page 8-17 ).
The Program parameter changes to Track if Rec Track is set to None or Mult. This field
indicates which track is currently being triggered by the keyboard, and you can use this Track
field to select a track.
