Hi,
I am not an expert here, so what I say below may be wrong. :-)
If you look at the diagram on page 12 of the owners manual, the AN200
can store 10 songs, 256 measures each (1 pattern per measure).
Each pattern (measure) is 16 steps (16th notes), so depending on the
BPM rate, you can estimate the maximum song length. If you disable
certain notes from sounding within a given pattern, I don't think you
gain more note/song capacity - the AN200 is different than a typical
MIDI sequencer in this respect.
Example: 120 bpm (2 quarter notes per second) =>
1 measure (pattern) every 2 seconds =>
256 measures in a song would last 512 seconds
512 seconds = 8 minutes 32 seconds for 1 song
10 songs => 5120 seconds = 85 minutes 20 seconds
This duration would scale linearly based on the BPM of the AN200.
Faster BPM => shorter song duration
Slower BPM => longer song duration
If you need a longer song duration (more than what the AN200 can
provide), you could create the notes/pattern/song changes with an
external MIDI sequencer (laptop PC or hardware) and feed this into the
MIDI in of the AN200.
Best of luck,
Mike
