COMBINING SEQUENCES INTO SONGS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SONGS
One prominent feature of music is that it is organized into sections
that repeat and alternate with each other. A SONG allows you to
record each section of a piece as a separate sequence and then
combine sequences into a complete composition, saving a lot of
memory space, not to mention time and effort.
A song then, is a combination of sequences. In addition to the 100
sequences, the DMX also contains 50 songs, numbered 00 thru 49.
Unlike a sequence (appended or otherwise), a song does not remember
the notes, only the order of sequences that you wish to play. There
can be as many as 255 sequences contained within a song, and each
sequence within a song can have its own tempo, length, or time
signature.
PLAYING A SONG
To enter the song mode, press SONG. The DMX will select the song
last selected.
Example 12: Play song 00
OPERATION: PRESS: DISPLAY READS:
----------------------- ----------------------- ----------------
Access song mode SONG SELECT SONG 00
Play song 00 PLAY PART 1= SEQ 01
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As the song plays through the different sequences in it, the
sequence number on the display will change to reflect the actual
sequence presently being played. Each sequence in the song is given
an ascending PART number that reflects its order in the song. When
the song reaches its conclusion the display will read:
"SONG 00 -END-"
To exit the song mode, press SONG again.
