Songs
Performance data for one song is called a song. This contains the data for tracks 1–16, the tempo track, the time signature track, and the samples (p. 10).
Tracks
A track is an area that records performance data.
Tracks 1–16
MIDI tracks (MIDI)
These tracks record keyboard performance data.
Pad track (PAD)
This track records performance data for the samples that you play by striking the pads. You can use one of the tracks 1–16 as the pad track.
Tempo track
The tempo track records changes in the song’s tempo. Use it when you want the tempo to vary during the song.
Time signature track
The time signature track records the time signature of each measure in the song. You’ll make settings for this track when you newly record a song, or
when you want the time signature to change during the song.
