Chapter 2. SONG MODE

7. Song Jobs

•

Note that the job will cause loss of any data already exist-
ing in tracks 17 to 32.

•

Expanded pattern data includes program change messages.
There is no need to make explicit VOICE mode settings.

•

The PATTERN mode’s play effects are incorporated into
the expanded data.

JOB 22   NORMALIZE PLAY EFFECTS

•

This job rewrites the data in the selected sequence track so
that the new data incorporates the current play-effect set-
tings (

→

 p.80). In other words, the external play-effect val-

ues are internalized into the track’s MIDI event data.

•

After rewriting the track’s sequence data, the job reinitializes
the track’s play-effect parameters.

1. Track

•

The TR value selects the track to be normalized.

0101
1101

01,...,32, All
• 01,...,32

Normalize the corresponding sequence track.

• All

Normalize all sequence tracks.
