SONG MODE
Once you’ve programmed two or more scenes,
click the Song button (Figure 7-83) to enter Song
mode. In Song mode, scenes can be placed end-to-
end to create a sequential timeline. One scene plays
at a time, and each scene starts at its beginning.
Accessing the Song Editor
To access BPM’s Song Editor (Figure 7-83), click
the Song tab (Figure 7-1 on page 49).
Building a song
To build a song, drag and drop scenes from the
sixteen pads into the Song Editor, as shown in
Figure 7-83. When you first drop the scene, it snaps
to the timeline at its original length. If you position
the cursor over the right edge of the scene, the
cursor changes and you can drag the right edge of
the scene to change its length (longer or shorter).
To move the scene, drag it left or right. To delete a
scene, click it to select it and hit the delete key. Or
right-click and choose Delete from the menu.
Timeline
The song timeline displays time in measures. You
can zoom the timeline in or out by clicking on it
and then dragging vertically. The timeline is
synchronized to the host when running BPM as a
plug-in.
