THE SONG MODE
75
•
Accurate playback of a previous song depends on the patterns it uses being
unchanged since saving. Otherwise, the song will sound different.
SONG PLAY
To start playing a song, make sure that you are in SONG mode, and that a song is pres-
ently loaded or created.
1.
Start the playback of the song by pressing [PLAY]. Pressing [PLAY] again pauses the
playback. To stop the playback, press [STOP].
2.
At any time you may switch back and forth between the song and the pattern mode by
pressing the [PATTERN/SONG] key. The song pointer will be held until [STOP] is
pressed. This way you can hold the song replaying, looping a pattern in pattern mode,
until returning to song mode, continuing replaying the song at the position you left it.
SONG TRANSPORT
While playing a song, it is possible to freely navigate within the patterns of the song.
1.
Use the [UP] and [DOWN] keys to move the two song pointer position indicators at the
left and right of the song list. They are shaped as two arrows. Press [ENTER/YES] to
move the playback position to the position of the arrows.
2.
The arrows will flash and alternate between flashing toward the row and in the direction
of the current song position. When a song row is repeated the number of remaining
repeats flashes to the right of the current pattern index.
3.
Once the current pattern has played to the end or the number of repeats has been com-
pleted the playback will continue from the row indicated by the arrows.
•
The song is played to its end and then it stops. Of course, infinite loops make
never ending songs.
•
If the song has tempo adjustments programmed the current global tempo will be
changed.
•
Monomachine sends and recognises MIDI Song Pointer Position. This means that
you can control the position in the song list from an external sequencer, and you
can control an external sequencer from the Monomachine.
•
[STOP] stops the playback, but holds the song pointer position. A second [STOP]
moves the song pointer position to the beginning of the song.
