Song Mode: The STATS Page
The STATS page is a display-only page that shows the status of the PC3A event pool. The event
pool is used by all the sequences loaded at a given time in the system. These include: the current
song, the compare song buer, and up to 16 ris.
The STATS page shown below is the state of the PC3A event pool with 0*New Song* selected,
and no other user objects loaded in any other modes:
The events in the PC3A are similar to events of other sequencers with a single major dierence:
the Note events are stored as a single big event, i.e., one PC3A Note event is comprised of the
note-on and note-o events. All other events are stored as single events on the PC3A.
The elds on the STATS page are:
• Max – the maximum number of notes/events in memory.
• Used – the total number of notes/events being used.
• Free – the number of notes/events that are free.
• Part. – the number of partitioned events, which are events for which space in memory is
allocated. This is technical information of importance only to engineers (and maybe a few
power users).
• Song – the total number of events (including notes) in the current song.
• Temp – the total number of events in the temp buer (the temp buer is used when grabbing
events from a dierent song).
• Ris 1–16 – the total number of events in each ri.
