THE SONG SEQUENCER
76 Monomachine SFX-6/60 USER’S MANUAL
SONG EDITING
The Monomachine song editor is a tool for arranging patterns into a song. A
song is basically a list of patterns which will be played in sequence. Each
step in a song can have its own settings for pattern start position, length,
pattern and individual track transpose, tempo and number of repeats. The
repeat function is used to make a pattern repeat a specified number of times
without the need of using several song rows. Loops are offered for improved
song organisation. A song can have up to 200 rows, and there are 24 song
slots.
Select the EDIT icon from the Song menu and press [ENTER/YES] to enter
the Edit Song window:
In the Edit Song window you find a list of patterns and song row settings.
This is where patterns are arranged into songs. You can edit the list while
the song is playing. The two filled arrows on each side of one of the song
rows is the song position pointer. They indicate which song step the
sequencer is currently playing. In the right part of the title bar the current
song pointer position is displayed in bars and beats.
Use the [UP] and [DOWN] keys to select the song step that you wish to edit.
The [LEFT] and [RIGHT] keys allow you to move the focus between the
pattern, repeat, transpose, offset, length and Song Extra columns.
• ROW = SONG ROW INDEX
• PAT = PATTERN
• REP = REPEATS
• TRN = TRANSPOSE
• OF = OFFSET
• LN = LENGTH
• XTRA = SONG EXTRA SETTINGS
In the Pattern column, set the pattern you want to be played for the position
using the LEVEL encoder, or by pressing the appropriate [BANK]+[TRIG]
keys. You can also program loops in this column. See section “SONG
LOOPS AND JUMPS” on page 79 for more information on this. “END”
marks can also be set from this column. It can be found as the first item in
the list of patterns, and marks the end of the song, where the sequencer will
be stopped.
The Repeat column controls how many times the song row will be repeated.
Use the LEVEL encoder to control the setting.
