Setup Mode
The Utility Soft Buttons
Mono Pressure:
When recording a setup to Song mode with
Mult
selected for
RecTrk
in Song
mode, you may notice that every track has recorded Mono Pressure messages, even if there is
nothing else recorded on a track. If this bothers you, you can set the
MonoPress
parameter to
Off
on the Song:Event Filter Recording page (see
Song Mode: The Filter Pages (RECFLT and PLYFLT)
on
page 12-15
.) This will prevent Mono Pressure messages from being recorded to any track.
Alternatively, you can erase Mono Pressure messages from specific tracks after recording. To do
this, go to the EditSong: Track page (see
Song Editor: The TRACK Page
on page 12-21
.) On the
EditSong: Track page, use the
Chan/Layer
buttons to choose the track to edit (visible in the
Track
field at the top right corner of the display.) Set the
Function
parameter to
Erase
and the
Events
parameter to
MonoPress
. Use the
From
and
To
fields to select the entire length of your song, and
press the
Go
soft button to erase Mono Pressure messages from the selected track. Repeat this for
each desired track. You can also choose
ALL
for the
Track
parameter to erase Mono Pressure
messages from all tracks.
Controller Messages:
When recording a setup to Song mode with
Mult
selected for
RecTrk
in
Song mode, you may often be recording more controller messages than you realize. This can
happen because multiple setup zones often respond to the same physical controllers. This is
likely to be the case when you use a setup created by duplicating zones and do not change the
controller destination assignments for each new zone. Often this is the desired behavior, such as
when using zones to create layers. For example, if zone one sends pitch bend messages from the
pitch wheel, and you duplicate this zone to create a layered zone two, you will likely want the
zone two to send the same messages from the pitch wheel. This way the pitch of these layered
zones will bend simultaneously when using the pitch wheel. But say for example that you also
have a zone three with a different key range than zones one and two, but which sends the same
messages from the pitch wheel. While playing and recording your setup, the function of the pitch
wheel will be obvious, but some confusion can arise when you have recorded your setup and
you proceed to record more tracks in Song mode. Because you have recorded with
Mult
selected
for
RecTrk,
the track for zone three will have pitch bend messages recorded wherever zones one
and two have bend messages, even if zone three was not playing any notes at that time. For
example, lets say zones one and two were bending during bar 1. If you want to separately record
zone three during bars 1 and 2, you will probably want to delete the existing bend messages from
zone three’s track. You can do this from the EditSong: Track page
(see
Song Editor: The TRACK
Page
on page 12-21
,
and an example of its use in the Mono Pressure section, above.)
Alternatively, if
there is nothing to preserve on the track for zone three, you can record it with the song
Mode
parameter set to
Erase
, which will erase any existing events on the track during the time that you
record. Just remember to change the
RecTrk
parameter in order to record to a single track.
