E-80 Music Workstation
Obviously, if you record a song with Arranger backing,
the respective Style parts (ADR, ABS, etc.) are recorded
onto the tracks that are assigned to their MIDI chan-
nels.
There is yet another track, called “MASTER”, that is used
for recording the time signature, the tempo, as well as
general SysEx data.
Example 1: Recording a song from
scratch
Let us first record a song from scratch using the
16-track sequencer. If you already played back a song
since switching on the E-80, the song RAM memory
already contains data we need to erase. (Even if the
E-80’s song RAM memory is still empty, using the INI-
TIALIZE SONG function would be a good idea.)
(1) Press the RECORDER [16-TRK¥SEQ.] button.
The display changes to:
(2) Press the [INITIALIZE¥SONG] field.
The display changes to:
(3) If you want the E-80 to set most parameters for
you, press one of the TEMPLATES fields.
