Tip: Play/Rec/Mute can be controlled from the front
panel mixer section, or from the P0– Control Surface
page of the LCD screen. (See “The control surface in
Sequencer mode” on page 88.)
4. Press track 1 “Solo On/Off.”
“Solo” will be highlighted, and this time, only track 1
will be heard. This is known as “soloing” the track.
If both Mute and Solo are used, the Solo function will be
given priority.
Press track 2 “Solo On/Off.”
The display will change, and you will hear the playback
of tracks 1 and 2.
Note: Solo (on) applies to all tracks, including MIDI
tracks 1–16, audio tracks 1-16, and all audio inputs
(analog, USB, and S/P DIF). If, as in this example,
you’ve turned Solo on for only MIDI tracks 1 and 2, you
will not hear MIDI tracks 3–16, audio tracks 1–16, or any
of the audio inputs.
5. To switch Solo off, press Solo On/Off once again. Press
Solo On/Off for both MIDI tracks 1 and 2.
The display will change, and the playback of tracks 1 and
2 will be muted. If the Solo function is turned off for all
tracks, playback will be according to the Play/Rec/Mute
settings.
Tip: Play/Rec/Mute can be controlled from the front
panel mixer section, or from the P0– Control Surface
page of the LCD screen. (See “The control surface in
Sequencer mode” on page 88)
Exclusive Solo
Normally, Solo works in “Exclusive Solo off” mode, in
which you can solo more than one track at a time (as in the
example above). In contrast, “Exclusive Solo on” mode
allows only one track to be soloed at a time, making it easy
to switch between soloed tracks.
Use the “Exclusive Solo” page menu command to specify
how the Solo function will operate.
Exclusive Solo off: You will be able to solo more than one
track at a time. The status of a track will change each time
you press its Solo On/Off button.
Exclusive Solo on: When you press a Solo On/Off button,
only that track will be soloed.
The SOLO setting is not stored when you save the song.
Tip: You can turn Exclusive Solo on/off by holding down the
ENTER switch and pressing numeric key 1 (when not in P4
or P5).
LOCATE settings
You can press the LOCATE switch to move to the registered
location. Initially, this will move to 001:01.000.
To change the registered location, use the Set Location page
menu command. Alternatively, you can register a location
during playback by holding down the ENTER switch and
pressing the LOCATE switch.
When you select a song, the “LOCATE” setting is
automatically initialized to 001:01.000.
For more information, see “Set Location (for Locate Key)”
on page 639 of the Parameter Guide.
Loop playback
When recording or playing back a song, you can individually
loop the MIDI tracks that are playing.
In the P0: Play/REC– MIDI Track Loop page, check Track
Play Loop for the MIDI tracks you want to loop, and use
Loop Start Measure and Loop End Measure to specify the
starting and ending measure of the region that will play back
as a loop.
If Play Intro is checked (enabled), the measures preceding
the loop will be played back as an introduction before the
loop begins.
If you play back from the first measure with the settings
shown in the screenshot below, the specified region of
measures will repeat as follows. Note that Play Intro is
enabled for Track 1, but disabled for Track 2.
If Play Intro is disabled (un-checked) for Track 1, the
specified region of measures will repeat as follows.
