THE SONG MODE
77
TRN (transpose) sets a pattern transpose for the song row. Use the LEVEL knob to control
the value. By pressing [ENTER/YES] you enter the SONG TRACK TRANSPOSE window,
where individual transpose can be set for the tracks. If an individual song track transpose is
set for a row, it is indicated by a bold “T“ in the TRN column. You then need to enter the
SONG TRACK TRANSPOSE window to see both the pattern and the individual track trans-
pose. See section “SONG TRACK TRANSPOSE”, on page 79 for more information on
song track transpose.
OF LN (offset and length) is a column that can be used to override the default start offset
and length settings for the pattern of the row. The default start offset of a pattern is always
zero as this means to start playing from the beginning. The default length is set from scale
setup (see section “SCALE SETUP”, on page 46). The song row offset and length func-
tions can be used to build complex rhythm structures. It can also be used for exchanging
parts of a pattern, to add for example a fill in to the end of a pattern. Use the LEVEL knob
to control the settings.
XTRA (song extra) column can be used for setting song row mutes and song row BPM. If
any mute is set for the row, it is indicated by a bold “M” in the XTRA column. If a new BPM
is set for the row, it is indicated by a bold “B”. Press [ENTER/YES] to enter the SONG
EXTRA menu. Please see section “SONG EXTRA”, on page 79 for more information.
• To insert a row in the song, use [FUNCTION] together with the [DOWN] key.
• To remove a row in the song, use [FUNCTION] together with the [UP] key.
• Copy, paste, clear and undo functions operate on rows in song edit
SONG EDIT TRANSPORT
It is possible to start playback from any row position in a song.
1. Move the editing focus to the row you wish to start the playback from and press the
[ENTER/YES] button.
2. If the song is currently playing when you select another row, you will see two hollow
arrows on each side of the newly selected row. They indicate that the selected row will
play next once the current row reaches its end.
• In the right part of the title bar the current song pointer position is displayed in
bars and beats. This information is also updated when a new song pointer is set
with [ENTER/YES]. This information can be used for synchronising the Monoma-
chine song construction with the song of another sequencer.
• Use the loops and jumps to creating a live setup.
