PLAYLIST: The Wizard and AutoBPM Functions in Playlists
You are already familiar with the Wizard and AutoBPM functions described in
the GO TO Sections (see pages 22). The latter functions are available to you
only when you work with playlists (provided that your MIDI songs contain
MARKERS) - and you can proceed as follows:
First press the PLAYLIST button followed by the WIZARD button (both
buttons illuminate). Pressing the PLAYLIST button has already opened the
window SELECT PLAYLIST (which lists the playlists that you have already
created).
Now, using the DIAL or the UP/DOWN buttons, select a playlist (= shaded in
color), and then press the ENTER button. This displays the songs of that play-
list. Use again the DIAL or the UP/DOWN buttons to select one of the listed
songs, and then press PLAY (starts playing back the song).
Continue by pressing the MARKER/BAR button (the button illuminates, thus
indicating that MARKERS are contained in the song being played) - this
opens the MARKERS window, which displays the MARKERS of the song cur-
rently playing (CURRENT SONG MARKERS).
Since you want to use the Wizard function to crossfade to another song,
during the playback of a song, you will have to prepare the next song.
To do that, press again the PLAYLIST button (displays the songs of the
previously selected playlist). Now, using the DIAL or the UP/DOWN buttons,
select the song of your choice, and then press the ENTER button. You have
now prepared the next song (it appears below on the display as NEXT) and
at the same time the MARKERS window now displays a list of the MARKERS
of the prepared song (NEXT SONG MARKERS). You can toggle between the
two MARKERS windows, if necessary, by pressing the NEXT/CURRENT SONG
button repeatedly.
So, when the NEXT SONG MARKERS window appears on the display, you
can select one of the MARKERS using the DIAL or the UP/DOWN buttons (=
shaded in color). If you now press the GO TO button, it will crossfade from
the song currently playing to the next song.
Note: The change will take place at the end of the MARKER part being played.
If you have not selected a skip mark for the next song, the change will automa-
tically take place between two musically harmonious MARKERS (this does not
necessarily have to be the Intro). In addition, the AutoBPM function is also used
for the change (see page 23) .
