Re: Song Mode

2004-05-21 by steve_the_composer

Thanks for the replies.

Re: (2) I found the the EVENT SOURCE menu and will play around with 
that.  Thanks for pointing me in that direction. 

Re: (1) In song/step mode I created a chain of patterns.  Then I over 
dubbed the midi sax in song/realtime mode.  When playing back the 
song, the mute buttons only turn on/off pattern tracks.

I was trying to do a music-minus-one thing where I have some 
performance options to (1) to mute the realtime data, (2) to play 
harmony/counterpoint to the realtime track, etc.

It seems like there is just one song/realtime mode track.  This track 
can be routed to MultiA OR MultiB with none, int, ext, both 
destinations.

SO, I duplicated each of the individual patterns and laid down some 
lines with the midi sax on a pattern by pattern basis and created a 
new song chain of just patterns.  (This gave me good practice doing 
mulitple retakes--I just left the pattern edit menu at erase track.  
Couldn't be easier!)

It would seem (in theory at least) I can copy the song chain and just 
set up different intros as my first pattern with mute configurations 
for the different music-minus-one options.

Thats for another day.   

Looking forward to having songs in a box without having to cart 
around a computer.
