Song mode is offering a
Green mode
where the screen scrolls with the timeline and whereit’s
possible to switch between the
Play Pattern
and
Play Song
without stopping thesequence.
And a
Red mode
for the Song structure edition (press Rec key).
Song mode offers a simple way of sequencing previously prepared patterns by setting their
number per
Slot
. Use the screen buttons – Add Slot, Delete slot, arrow keys and the jog-
wheel to prepare the sequences of patterns to create songs. Copy/paste/delete any of the
pattern tracks represented as clips. A song can have up to 255 Slots.
A Slot always consists of eight cells/clips which represent eight tracks of previously
prepared patterns. Filled cell/clip means thereʼs a sequence on this particular track. Empty
cell/clip means that this particular track does not contain any sequences with steps.
Add/delete song rows/slots and copy/paste the pattern tracks using the onscreen
co screen keys. Use these functions to move the selected patternʼs track 1 to track
2, etc. With these simple yet versatile tools, it is possible to create a whole song. Use the
Master screen or the Pattern view to mute/solo the song tracks.
It’s
important
to remember that the clips representing the patterns in the Song mode are
directly connected with the patterns from the Pattern mode. It’s possible to spoil the pattern
sequences while fooling around with the clips in Song mode.
There is a
timestamp
indicator at the top bar all of the screens (besides Pattern view) and is
helpful to keep orientation in the Song exact playback time. Show minutes, seconds,
patterns and step numbers. Playback mode
icons
are displayed on sections top bars
(headers) for easier orientation on what’s exactly happening while switching between
different screens.
