4. Press the [STOP/CONTINUE] key if you want to stop playback before the
end of the song is reached.
If you press the [STOP/CONTINUE] key again after stopping the song,
playback will resume from the point at which it was stopped. The [START]
key will always start the song from the beginning.
The tempo can be changed at any time — while a song is playing or while
playback is stopped — by pressing the [TEMPO] key and then using the
[INC] and [DEC] keys, the [DATA] slider, or the numeric keys to select
the desired tempo. The underline cursor will move to the tempo parameter
when the [TEMPO] key is pressed.
Press the [TEMPO] key again to return the cursor to its previous position.
In the song edit mode you can change part numbers, delete parts, insert parts,
copy parts, set an initial tempo for the song, and give the song a name. In addi-
tion to new parts, you can insert other events including begin repeat and end re-
peat signs, tempo changes, or velocity changes. Here’s the general procedure:
1. In the song mode select the song you want to edit (00 . . . 19) using the
[INC] and [DEC] keys, the [DATA] control, or the numeric keys.
2. Press the [REC] key to engage the song record ready mode.
3. Press the [INC] key once to select the song edit standby mode.
5. Select the part you want to edit by moving the cursor to the PART parameter
and using the [INC] and [DEC] keys or the [DATA] control to select the
desired part. You can also directly enter a part number via the numeric keys.
If you step past the last part in the song the next part number will appear
and the TYPE and event parameters will flash, indicating that no data has
yet been specified. You can then enter a new part number or any other event
as described below.
