Song Mode and the Song Editor
The Song Editor
The Song Editor
In general, you’ll get to the Song editor pages by pressing the Edit button any time you’re in
Song mode. There’s one exception: if the Program parameter is currently highlighted on the
display, you’ll enter the Program editor when you press
Edit .
There are a few conventions shared by all of the Song editor pages. Displayed at the top of each
Song editor page is the name of the page and the currently selected track (1–16, or all tracks). All
of the values for the parameters found in any of the Song-editor pages are saved in the song
object.
Song Editor: The COMMON Page
Press the Edit button on the front panel of the PC3 to display the COMMON page and begin
editing a song. This is where you will find parameters common to all tracks, such as tempo and
time signature, control parameters for effects, and soft buttons for switching to other Song editor
pages.
The top line of this page displays the selected track or tracks. Select the available current track
for editing by using the
Chan/Layer buttons.
Although the current track information is displayed on the top line, the COMMON page’s
parameters are global settings for the song and do not directly affect individual tracks.
Tempo
This is another place where the song’s initial tempo can be set or modified.
