Chapter 5: Song mode
Page 106
Converting a Song Into a Long Sequence
Song mode is useful for quickly creating the format of a song. However,
it is cumbersome compared to Sequence mode when fine-tuning the
details of a complex song. It is therefore useful to create a song initially
using Song mode, then convert that song into a long sequence. This
allows you to use the more versatile sequence editing features to
complete the song. The Convert Song to Sequence function does this
conversion. All sequences in the song, including their designated
repetitions, are copied end-to-end into the specified sequence. Note that
track names, track status (Drum or MIDI), MIDI output channel
assignments, MIDI program change assignments, stereo mixer settings,
echo send settings, tuning settings, and tempo settings for the newly
created sequence are taken from the first sequence in the song, and
that the song’s loop status is used for the new sequence’s loop status.
To use this function, press the <Conv2Seq>) soft key from the Song
screen. The following screen will appear:
======= Convert Song To Sequence ======A
Convert from song: 1-Song_name
To sequence: 1-Sequence_name
(The existing contents of the
destination sequence will be erased!)
========================================
<Do it>
The fields are:
• The Convert from song field:
This is the number of the song that will be converted into a sequence.
The song’s name is shown to the right.
• The To sequence field:
This is the number of the sequence that will contain the converted song.
The sequence’s name is shown to the right. Any data in this sequence
will be replaced.
• The <Do it> soft key:
Pressing this soft key performs the copy as specified.
COMMENT: Be sure that the drum or MIDI status of like-
numbered tracks of the sequences in a song match. If not, drum
track data can be appended onto the end of a MIDI track or vice
versa. This would cause keyboard notes to play drum sounds ,
or drum notes (in which the note number indicates drum
selection) to play various keyboard pitches.
