Once TRKCHANG is activated, the function keys have assigned the
following functions:
• RESTORE: zeroes all the variations to the parameters done by the
user and restores the presets originally memorized in each song;
• SAVE: saves the modifications done by the user through the
function SAVE;
• RELOAD: recalls the last values saved by the user through the
function SAVE;
• MUTE: it mutes a track (same as zeroing the volume of the
corresponding MIDI channel) if on the status bar CHANNEL
VOLUME TRKCHANG is underlined;
• SOLO: it puts to “solo” the underlined channel if on the status
CHANNEL VOLUME TRKCHANG is not underlined;
NOTES: All the variations done through the function
TRKCHANG
do not
modify in any way the parameters memorized into a song.
To understand the way in which
TRKCHANG
works on a song, it is
possible to imagine a chart paired to the song, in which all the variations
on the default song values done by the user are memorized (+/- values).
For instance let’s imagine a song with the volume on the MIDI channel
n°2 recorded with the following progression:
first measure (beat 1.1) set to Volume=100
tenth measure (beat 10.1) set to Volume=110
When the song is in PLAY, on the M-Blaster display (in correspondence
to the MIDI channel n°2 volume) we will read the value “100” until the
tenth measure, after that we will read “110”.
Let’s imagine we set via the knob PAGE/VALUE a variation on the
channel 2 volume equal to “-020” (saving the variation with the function
key SAVE).
