composed and arranged piece? TheSong modewould be the answer. A song is an
arrangement of patterns in the desired order of playback.
In the Song mode, the timeline also runs vertically moving down line-by-line from the top of
a pattern/phrase to the bottom, triggering the pattern sequences containing
Notes/Instruments/Fx stored in each line.
Song mode offers a simple way of sequencing previously prepared patterns by setting their
number per Slot. Use the screen buttons – Add Slot, Delete slot, arrow keys and the jog-
wheel to prepare the sequences of patterns to create songs. Copy/paste/delete any of the
pattern tracks represented as clips. A song can have up to 255 Slots.
A Slot always consists of eight cells/clips which represent eight tracks of previously
prepared patterns. Filled cell/clip means thereʼs a sequence on this particular track. Empty
cell/clip means that this particular track does not contain any sequences with steps.
Add/delete song rows/slots and copy/paste the pattern tracks using the onscreen
commands + screen keys. Use these functions to move the selected patternʼs track 1 to track
2, etc. With these simple yet versatile tools, it is possible to create a whole song. Use the
Master screen or the Pattern view to mute/solo the song tracks.
It’s important to remember that the clips representing the patterns in the Song mode are
directly connected with the patterns from the Pattern mode. It’s possible to spoil the pattern
sequences while fooling around with the clips in Song mode.
There is a timestamp indicator at the top bar all of the screens (besides Pattern view) and is
helpful to keep orientation in the Song exact playback time. Show minutes, seconds,
patterns and step numbers.
Important:
Set project Tempo in BPM (from 40 to 800BPM) using Song + Jog-wheel shortcut or by
using the tap tempo function (double click to enable, then the next clicks are setting
the tempo. Change the BPM value in decimal values (0.1) with the Shift key pressed.
You can preview a track by holding Shift and pressing the first screen button.
While the song mode is playing back the rows of patternʼs tracks – toggle between the
Song mode and the Pattern modes.
While the sequencer is playing the song mode arrangement – use the Performance
mode to apply different effects “on the fly”.
External source MIDI clock and transport in the Song mode will playback the entire
song, while in Pattern mode will loop the current pattern.
