SAVE SONG PAGE
The new or edited Song is contained in RAM, and is lost
when turning the instrument off. The Song is also lost when
you overwrite it in Backing Sequence Record mode, or when
switching to the Song Play mode. You must save on disk any
Song you wish to preserve. The Song is saved as a Standard
MIDI File (SMF).
Note: When saving a Song as a SMF, an empty measure in
automatically inserted to the beginning of the Song. This mea-
sure contains various Song initialization parameters.
1. If you are in an edit page, press EXIT to go back to the
Main page.
2. Select the Save Song button. The Save Song page
appears.
3. Move the folder where you wish to save your Song to the
first line of the display, using the E-F (Scroll Up) and G-
H (Scroll Down) VOLUME/VALUE buttons, or the
TEMPO/VALUE controls. Press F3 (Open) to open it.
Close the current folder by pressing F4 (Close).
4. When in the selected folder, you can save the Song over
an existing midifile (a file with a “.MID” extension), or
create a new midifile.
• To overwrite an existing midifile, move it to the first
line of the display.
• To create a new midifile, move the
“NEW_NAME.MID” item to the first line of the display.
5. When the “NEW_NAME.MID” item is selected, press
one of the A VOLUME/VALUE buttons. You are
prompted to assign a name to the new file:
Move the cursor using the DOWN/- and UP/+ buttons.
Select a character using the DIAL. Insert a character at
the cursor position by pressing the INSERT button.
Delete a character at the cursor position by pressing the
DELETE button.
6. When you have finished writing a name for the new
midifile, press F2 (Save) to confirm. The “Are you sure?”
message will appear. Press ENTER to confirm, or EXIT
to abort.
Play/Mute status saved with the Song
When saving a Song, the Play/Mute status is saved with the
Song. This status is preserved when playing back the same
Song in Song Play mode.
Master Transpose saved with the Song
When saving a Song, the Master Transpose value is saved
with the Song. Since this value is saved as System Exclusive
data, it is preserved when playing back the Song in Song Play
mode.
Hint: Since the Master Transpose is a global parameter, loading
a Song with a non-standard transposition may result in
unwanted transposing when loading other Songs that do not
contain their own transposition data. To transpose a Song it is
advisable to use the Edit-Transpose function; you can access this
function by pressing the MENU button and one of the E VOL-
UME/VALUE buttons (see “Page 18 - Edit: Transpose” on
page 100).
You may also lock the Master Transpose for various tracks, to
avoid unwanted transposition. See “Page 2 - Master Transpose”
on page 126 of the Global chapter.
As a general rule, you should use the Master Transpose
(TRANSPOSE buttons on the control panel) when you need to
transpose the Realtime tracks together with the Song. You
should use the Edit-Transpose function (Song Edit mode) when
only the Song has to be transposed.
Note: The Master Transpose value is always shown in the upper
right corner of the display:
