In the songs that have audio tracks the sixth function key is called AUDIO and
lets you modify AUDIO L, R volumes and corresponding PAN’s.
N.B. All the variations done with the ADJUST function don’t modify in any way the
parameters saved in the song.
To understand how the ADJUST mode affects a song, you can imagine a kind of
schedule associated to the song, in which you save the variations done by the
user (plus or minus) to the original values of the song.
For instance, let’s suppose we have a song in which MIDI channel 2 volume has
been recorded in the following way:
♦ in the first measure (bar 1.1) we have this setting: Volume=100;
♦ in the tenth measure (bar 10.1) we have this setting: Volume=110.
When the song is in PLAY mode, on the Megabeat Pro display (in
correspondence to MIDI channel number 2) we will read “100” until the tenth
measure, after the tenth measure we will read “110”.
Let’s suppose now using
PAGE
/
VALUE
knob we input a channel 2 volume variation
of “-020” (and we save this variation using the SAVE key).
When we play the song again, we will read on the display (in correspondence
with MIDI channel 2 volume) the “080” value until the tenth measure, after
the tenth measure we will read the “090” value.
In other words, with the
ADJUST
function you can input variations that will be
added (or subtracted) to the values of the various parameters set in the song.
These variations can be saved on Hard Disk (in a kind of schedule associated
to the song) and will take effect only when the song is played, with no
consequence on original parameters which can be restored at every moment.
To set the other parameters, the procedure is the same as with the Volume:
1. highlight the parameters you want to set (with DIRECTION keys)
2. if you want to do a GLOBAL setting turn the PAGE/VALUE knob
3. if you want to set a single MIDI channel, first select the desired channel
then turn the PAGE/VALUE knob.
