Detailed settings for recording and playback [SONG SETTING]
This parameter enables you to specify whether a song
that starts from the middle of a bar, or a song with a
silence prior to the first note, should be played from
the first note or from the top of the bar (rest or blank).
See the procedure on page 72.
Setting range:
[On] Playing from the first note
[Off] Playing from the top of the bar (including a rest
or blank)
You can select a single channel to listen to its contents.
Playback starts from the first note.
See the procedure on page 72.
Setting range:
Ch1 - Ch16
Usually, channels that do not contain any data are not dis-
played. However, for some songs, all channels (including the
channels that contain no data) may be displayed.
You can delete data from each of 16 channels.
See the procedure on page 72.
Setting range:
