User`s manual

 SAVE: Saves the modifications made by the user.

 RELOAD: Recalls the last values saved by the user.

 MUTE: Mutes a track (same as zeroing the volume MIDI channel). This

function is only available if ‘VOL’ in the TRKCHANG window is highlighted.

 SOLO: “Solos” the highlighted channel. This function is only available if

‘VOL’ in the TRKCHANG window is NOT highlighted.

NOTE: None of the variations done through the TRKCHANG function will modify

the original parameters of a song. To understand how TRKCHANG works,

imagine a chart attached to the song, in which all the variations on the default

song values done by the user are memorised (+/- values). For instance a song

with the volume on the MIDI channel n°2 might be 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, the M-Blaster will display (in correspondence to the

MIDI channel n°2 volume) the value “100” until the tenth measure. After that we

will read “110”.

Let’s imagine we set a variation on the channel 2 volume using the

PAGE/VALUE knob equal to “-020” (saving the variation with the SAVE function

key). Playing the song again will display (in correspondence to the MIDI channel

n°2 volume) the value “080” until the tenth measure and “90” after that.

This means that with the TRKCHANG function it is possible to set variations that

will add up (or subtract) the preset parameter values of songs. Such variations

can be saved on the Compact Flash (in a chart attached to the song) and will

have effect only when the song is being played and will not affect the original

parameters which can be recalled any time.

Once TRKCHANG is activated, the display shows a page divided in two zones by

a status bar.

The upper part concerns the managing of the single MIDI channels, while the

lower one allows choosing from which parameter to work.
