Recording Track (RecTrk)
The RecTrk parameter determines which track is record enabled. Set the record enabled track to
Mult
to record more than one channel simultaneously.
When RecTrk is set to a single track (
1
–
16
), Record (R) is displayed for that track in the Track
Status Indicator region (above the Track and Channels region). Conversely, with one exception,
when any track’s Status Indicator is changed to Record (R), that track is shown as the value for
the RecTrk parameter.
The exception is when RecTrk is already set to
Mult
, you can select the record enabled tracks by
toggling the Track Status Indicator to Record (R), and the RecTrk will remain set to
Mult
.
When
Mult
is initially selected, all of the empty tracks will be record enabled. Tracks containing
data will remain set to play (P), but you can manually set them to record (R).
The parameter(s) below RecTrk change according to the value of RecTrk and in one case, the
mode from which you enter Song mode. If RecTrk is set to a single track (
1–16
), Program is
displayed and you can select the program to be assigned to that track.
If you change RecTrk to
None
, the display changes to show the Channel parameter followed by
the Program parameter (although the Program parameter’s
name
doesn’t appear, just its
value
).
If you switch through the channels, the program also changes, showing the program currently
assigned to that channel.
Program
Scroll through the programs in memory to select the program before initially recording each
track of your song. Any MIDI program changes on the current RecTrk or Chan cause the ID and
name of the track’s program to change during playback.
This parameter’s name is not visible when RecTrk is set to
None
or
Mult
(to make room for the
Chan parameter); just its value appears.
Programs selected in Program mode or from a Quick Access bank are selected as the program on
the current RecTrk when you return to Song mode.
To change a track’s program quickly, press
Record
, select the program, then press
Stop
. Or you
could press
MIXER
to go to the MIX page, change the program as desired. This preserves all
changes you have made to any other tracks: volume, pan, tempo, etc.
Channel (Chan)
This parameter determines the control channel and is available only when RecTrk is set to
None
or
Mult
. In this case, the Channel parameter gets squeezed onto the same line as the Program
parameter, which is why you don’t see the Program parameter’s name, just its value.
Volume (Vol)
You can set an initial volume level for the playback and recording of each track as a value
between
0
and
127
. If the channel of the RecTrk (or the control channel, if RecTrk is set to
Multi
or
None
) contains any recorded volume change (controller code 7), the change will be reflected
as the Vol parameter’s value in real time.
To change a track’s initial volume quickly, press
Record
, change the value of Vol, then press
Stop
. Or, you can go to the MIXER page and change the initial volume.
