Editing a Group
Even after creating a group, you can edit the structure of the
group in the GROUP screen.
Basic Operation in the GROUP Screen
1. Press the [GROUP] button.
The GROUP screen appears.
2. Select a function and edit the parameters.
Function Explanation
[E1] PATTERN Accesses the PATTERN screen.
[E2] knob Moves the cursor in GROUP LIST.
[E3] UTILITY Accesses the GROUP UTILITY screen.
[E4] RENAME Renames the group.
[E5] LENGTH Edits loop settings for the group.
[E6] MAKE SONG Accesses the MAKE SONG screen.
Specifying the Loop Settings
(Length)
The loop length of each group (Length) can be specied
separately from the loop settings specied for a pattern. For
example, the playback might loop in eight-measure units in
the PATTERN screen, but you could halve this to make it loop in
four-measure units when played as a group.
Current group
Group list
The right side of the screen is called the GROUP Info area. This area
shows the presence or absence of data for each track in the current
group, and the length of the current pattern for each track.
1. Use the [E5] knob to set the Length parameter.
Loop region Loop region
This changes the length for when the group is played.
The length is also shown in the GROUP Info. area. The area
outside the region specied by Length is grayed-out and is not
played.
Naming a Group
(RENAME)
You can assign a name to each group. Assigning an informative
name helps you tell the groups apart without needing to
specically examine the content of each group.
1. On the GROUP screen, select the group that you
want to rename, and then select [E4] RENAME.
The RENAME screen appears.
2. Edit the group name as described in the
explanation for the RENAME screen (p. 16).
3. Select [E6] OK.
If you decide to cancel, choose [E5] CANCEL.
