The MIDI TRACK device
The MIDI module’s flexibility relies on the ability to display individual voices
during RECORD and PLAYBACK operations as animated music within the
VMW (Voice Monitor Window). The VMW is always associated with the midi
track selected for recording. i.e. The ACTIVE RECORD TRACK.
The ACTIVE RECORD TRACK is the midi track which is selected for
recording on to. This can be changed by holding down the Commodore key
and pressing a number key between
1
and
6
.
For playback operations you may elect to play back one or more of the
tracks. The tracks active for playback can be toggled ON or OFF by holding
down the
SHIFT
key and pressing a number key between
1
and
6
.
The ‘Tape Head’ indicator provides a visual guide across tracks during
record operations. Note that the TRACK METER highlight bars re-scale
themselves when they reach the left side of the device providing an accu-
rate visual indication of the size of each track.
RECORDING is started by pressing the
COM RUN-STOP
key pair and
stopped with the same keys. You can pause recording with the
SPACE
bar.
