Tutorial: Song Mode
15-7
editing a factory ROM song. When editing a song that has been stored in user memory (any
originally unused ID#,) the edited song’s ID# is automatically selected. This assumes that you
wish to replace the existing song, but you can choose another ID# if desired to save a new copy.
Choose a used ID# to replace an existing saved song. If you replace a factory ROM song, you can
revert to the original song by deleting the song using the Song Mode
Delete
soft button.
Part 4: Record Additional Tracks
When you are happy with your first track and you have saved your song so far, move on to
adding other instrument parts on other tracks. You can record up to 16 tracks.
1. On the Song mode MAIN page, use the
Chan/Zone
buttons (to the left of the display) to Set
the
RecTrk
parameter to an unused track number (for example, track 2.)
2. Set the instrument sound for the current track. Use the cursor buttons to navigate to the
Prog
field and choose a program with the plus/minus buttons, alpha wheel, or by entering
the desired program number with the alphanumeric pad. This sets the instrument sound
for the current track. For example, choose program
105 P-Bass
to make the next track
contain the bass part for this song (see below.) This would be useful to play a bass part that
matches the root notes of your left hand piano part from track 1.
3. Follow the same steps in
Part 3
above (starting on step 2) to start and stop recording, and
review, save or discard your performance. When saving the song with your new tracks
recorded, press the
Save
soft button on the SongMode:save as page in order to replace the
currently saved song with your new version.
4.
Repeat the steps above with different track and program numbers to add additional
instrument parts to your song.
