• SOFT KEY 1- <Execute>:

Pressing this soft key performs the copy as specified. This may take as much

as 30 seconds or more.

NOTE: ALWAYS BE SURE THAT EACH OF THE SEQUENCES IN

THE SONG HAVE IDENTICAL MIDI CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTS

FOR THEIR TRACKS. When playing a song in song mode, it is possible

for each of the sequences within a song to have different midi channel

assignments from sequence to sequence because each sequence uses its own

set of assignments. For example, track 5 could be assigned to midi channel

16 (drums) in one sequence; it could then be followed by a different

sequence in which track 5 contains keyboard notes and plays through midi

channel 3. However, once a song to sequence conversion is done, only the

assignments from the first sequence in the song are used in the newly

created long sequence: For this reason, before converting a song to a

sequence, be certain that the midi channel assignments for each of the

sequences match from sequence to sequence. It is especially important that

"drums" (channel 16) or "non-drums" (channel 1-15) status of each track

match from sequence to sequence within the song. If an attempt is made to

convert a song which has a mismatch in midi assignments, the following

error screen will be displayed and the conversion is aborted:

To correct the problem, you must use either change the midi channel

assignment of one of the mismatched tracks, or use the <SortTrks> soft key

from the PLAY/RECORD screen to change the track order of one of the

two mismatched sequences before attempting the conversion again.

4.3.9 Shortening/lengthening a single ba

This function allows you to change the length of a particular bar within a

sequence by changing its time signature. It works like this: if the new time

signature you change to is shorter than the existing one, the unused end of

the bar is truncated; if the new time signature is longer than the existing

one, a small amount of blank space is added onto the end of the bar. For
