The beginning of loop section marker which is implied in section 1 (start of
voice) cannot be accessed since it belongs to the last note of the previous
loop section. If
Section
is changed in Values the note cursor will move to
the start of the specified loop section. If you want to browse through
available loop sections set
Section
off.
If
Section
is set the barmeter displays the length of that voice as the length
of the particular section irrespective of the length of the entire voice.
Because loop sections can be repeated several times (it might even consist
of just one note!) the barmeter cursor can go past the end of a loop section
bar. It is assumed that the loop section continues until the end of the longest
voice (or loop section). Do not worry because the EDITOR knows exactly
how many times the loop section has been repeated and will always enter
the loop section at the correct point when flipping between voices .
You can scroll backwards and forwards through a loop section or use
SHIFT-[
and
SHIFT-]
to fast rewind and fast forward. However, you will
never get beyond the bounds of the loop section and might not even be able
to reach the end of a loop section if the barmeter cursor reaches the end of
the longest voice. Press
COMM-]
to go to the end of the loop section the
FIRST TIME THROUGH. The barmeter cursor will actually jump back-
wards!
COMM-[
is equivalent to moving to the start of the voice.
Markers are available within loop sections. As there are only two per voice,
any markers set in a previous loop section will be deleted and hence
available in the current loop section. Accessing Commands:
Markers to
ends
places the markers at the ends of the loop section.
Normal repeats are active within a loop section. The start of loop marker (
|
)
acts as a ||: if necessary just like at the beginning of a voice. Part or whole
of a loop section may be copied or moved to the notepad (see Commands).
Any
|
markers are converted to double bars (||) to avoid problems caused
by moving too many loop sections. These will need to be switched back to
|
if the number of sections is less than 20.
A final point. If all voices are loop sections then play continues until aborted
by
RUN/STOP
. In this case the barmeter cursor moves to the position of
the last note played in the LONGEST SECTION. The corresponding notes
in other voices will not necessarily be the last notes played unless all the
loop sections are of the same length.
