Track Commands

take place and you will be placed on the Audition page. If you’ve previously set editing ranges
for the current song or sequence, you can use the Up Arrow button to call up USE RANGES.
Pressing Enter•Yes will commence editing based on the previously set range values.
• COPY — This option allows you to copy events to another track. Scroll right to select the
Track numnber value. Use the Instrument•Sequence Track buttons to select the destination
track. After selecting the destination track, press Enter•Yes. From this point on, the editing
proceeds from this point in the same manner as erasing events.
Note:
The Copy mode of the Filter Command works just like the Copy Track command: Data on the
destination track will be erased.
CMD
MERGE TWO TRACKS
TRACK
Press Command / Track / 4
This command merges all key and controller information from one track into another track. This
allows you to record several different tracks, all with the same instrument and MIDI
configuration, then merge them into one. This is useful for creating sound-on-sound type
sequences where you add rather than replace track data.
Note:
You may run into problems if you try to merge two tracks with similar controller events. For
instance, if you have pitch bend in your source track, and pitch bend in the destination track, and
you merge them together at the same point in the sequence, it will result in “controller fights.” If
this happens, first erase the controller from one of the tracks, and then merge the two tracks
together.
CMD
EVENT EDIT TRACK
TRACK
Press Command / Track / 5
Use this command to add, delete, lengthen, shorten, change the velocity, or the position of
individual notes in a track. EVENT EDIT TRACK is a very useful command. Here are the
fundamentals.
The sequencer uses “bars,” “beats,” and “clocks” to mark time during the recording of a track.
The illustration below represents a stream of events recorded during two bars of a track.
