Improvements to MAIN Mode

Track Lock

Individual tracks in a sequence can now be locked for editing. This will

allow data on that track to be protected when performing global

functions, and protects from accidental adding, deleting or changing

the sequence data on the track. All data, including MIDI notes,

controller changes, Q-LINK events etc will be preserved. Programs

can be changed to allow you to audition different sounds on the locked

track while preserving the data from editing.

A Track's LOCK Status is indicated by the padlock icon to the left of the

TRACK field as indicated on the right. To lock or unlock a track, do the

The TRACK LOCK icon appears as a padlock to the left of the TRACK field as shown on the right.

02. Turn the [DATA] Wheel, or press the [+] button to toggle the TRACK LOCK icon.
