to be used for repeated rhythm tracks, bass lines, etc. and are especially
useful in the SYNTHESISER sequencer, KEYBOARD and MIDI for real
time backing tracks. A loop section is a section of a voice or whole voice
which when played as part of a tune keeps on repeating until the whole tune
has finished. If all voices with notes in are loop sections then once started
they will all repeat indefinitely until playback is halted.
There may be up to 20 different consecutive loop sections within each
voice. This means that a whole voice of say 20 rhythm patterns can be
loaded in or constructed enabling you to literally dial up a different rhythm
accompaniment whenever you need to.
Every voice can be considered as a single loop section and can be set as
such in Values. A start of loop section marker (
|
) is implied at the start of
every voice. A
|
is not required to end a loop section. To set up more than
one loop section enter a loop section marker by pressing
£
. Look at Info to
see how many sections there are in a voice. A
|
placed after the last note
will give an extra loop section containing no notes. If
Section
is not set in
Values (Info will say
Section
is
off
) the
|
markers are treated as normal
barlines. If
Section
is set to
all
then the whole voice is treated as one loop
section and repeats indefinitely. The playback indicators on the barmeter
will also display an
S
if section is set.
If the current voice has
Section
set then the note cursor will always be within
that loop section. The section, bounded by
|
, start or end of voice, is treated
EXACTLY as if it was a whole voice and all editing commands are available
within it. The VMW will show any notes in neighbouring loop sections (if
any) but these will not be accessible.
The next start of loop section marker, if any, may be switched to a normal
barline by pressing
4
and the loop section will be extended to the next
|
or
end of voice whichever is reached first. The
Section
number remains the
same and the number of
Sections
decremented. A
|
may also be inserted
within a loop section. In this case the
Section
number and number of
Sections
are incremented by one.
