Step 2. Creating or selecting a song
In order to record a new song, you must first create a
new song on the D16. Here’s how to create a new song,
assign a name to the song, and select a song.
1. Creating a new song
1 Select the [SONG] “SelSong” tab page.
Press the [SONG] key, and then the “SelSong” tab.
2 Press the “New” button.
3 Select the number of bits/tracks for the song that
will be created, and the mixer settings. (p.59)
4 Press the “OK” button.
A song named “NewSong” will be created for the
song number that follows the last existing song.
To delete a song, refer to p.61.
2. Naming a song
We recommend that you assign a name to your new
song, to distinguish it from other songs.
If you wish to change the name of a song, you must
first select that song (“3. Selecting an existing song”).
1 Select the [SONG] “SelSong” tab page.
Press the [SONG] key, and then the “SelSong” tab.
2 Press the “Rename” button.
3 Change the name of the song.
Use the “ ” “ ” buttons to move the cursor in the
song name (alphabetical characters) to the charac-
ters that you wish to change, and rotate the
[VALUE] dial to select the desired characters.
The buttons in the LCD screen have the following
function.
4 If you are satisfied with the name that you input,
press the “OK” button. If you decide not to
change the name, press the “Cancel” button.
3. Selecting an existing song
Selecting (creating) a new song is different than select-
ing an existing song. Here’s how to select an existing
song. (For a new song, refer to “1. Creating a new
song.”)
There are three ways to select an existing song.
[STOP] key + [FF] key, [STOP] key + [REW]
key
Use this method to select the previous or next num-
bered song in the same drive.
To select the next-numbered song, hold down the
[STOP] key and press the [FF] key.
To select the previous-numbered song, hold down
the [STOP] key and press the [REW] key.
If you are at the beginning of the song (“000:00.000
etc.), you will move to the previous-numbered song.
If you are in the middle of a song, pressing the above
buttons once will move to the beginning of the song,
and pressing them once again will move to the
beginning of the previous-numbered song.
