Creating a Song on the MO Quick Guide Creating a Song TIP Editing a Mixing by using Control sliders (in the Song mode/Pattern mode) [SONG] ➞ Song selection ➞ [MIXING] ➞ [EDIT] ➞ Part selection ➞ [F2] OUTPUT ➞ [SF1] VOL/PAN ➞ Volume In the Song/Pattern mode, the four Control sliders let you independently adjust the levels of the Parts (Voices), letting you control the overall balance of the Parts. n Inadvertent use of the sliders may result in no sound. If this occurs, move the sliders upward. TIP Creating an Arpeggio In addition using the preset Arpeggios, you can also create your own original Arpeggio data. Actually, there is no direct operation for recording Arpeggios. First, you have to record a Phrase to a Song or Pattern track. Then, use the appropriate Song or Pattern Job function to convert the data to Arpeggio data. 1 Record the MIDI sequence data to be used as the basis for base of the Arpeggio to a Song or Pattern. 2 Convert the MIDI sequence data (recorded to the Song or Pattern) as Arpeggio data.

Specify the destination Arpeggio number. Specify the source Song/Pattern number and measure range. You can record MIDI sequence data for the Arpeggio to any of the tracks. After recording, select four tracks from all sixteen and convert them to Arpeggio data. Specify the tracks of the source Song or Pattern. Set unused tracks to "off." Select a convert type by track (see below). Set the root note when the convert type of any track is set to "OrgNote." ■ Determining how Song/Pattern data is converted to an Arpeggio-Convert Type MIDI sequence data (of Song/Pattern tracks) can be converted to Arpeggio data in one of three ways, according to the Convert types below. These types can also be selected independently for each destination track-providing enormous flexibility and performance control. Normal Fixed OrgNotes (Original Notes) The Arpeggio is played back using only the played note and its octave notes. Playing any note(s) will trigger the same MIDI sequence data. Basically same as "Fixed" with the exception that the Arpeggio playback notes differ according to the played chord. Owner's Manual 97
