Song Chain Playback—[F4] Chain
(Song Chain)
Song Chain Playback allows you to put together a play list
of preset Songs, in any desired order, and have them
automatically play back in sequence. From this display,
you can program the order of the Song playback.
1 Chain Number (Indication only)
Indicates the order of the Song playback. Numbers 1 – 100
are provided and you can view these numbers by scrolling
the display. The Song Chain will be played back in order
from the Song assigned to 001.
2 Song number
3 Song name (Indication only)
Determines the Song number to be played back in the
chain. The Song name is shown when you specify the Song
number. If an empty Song is assigned to a certain Chain
number, that number will be skipped after a one-measure
count. In addition to Song numbers, “skip,” “end,” and
“stop” commands can be assigned to the Song Chain
numbers.
Settings: skip, end, stop, 01 – 64
skip
Skips (ignores) the selected chain number and continues playback

stop

song chain playback from the next chain number by pressing the [F]
(Play) button.

to call up the Song Chain display.
2 Program the desired order of the Songs.
Move the cursor to “001” by using the cursor buttons and
select the desired Song by using the Data Dial, or the
[INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons. In the same manner,
assign other Songs to locations 002, 003, 004, and so on.
3 Use “skip” if you want to delete the Song already
assigned to the Chain number.
Move the cursor to the Song number to be deleted, then
assign the “skip” command to that location by using the
data dial, or the [INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons. The
assigned Chain number will be ignored during playback.
4 Assign “end” to the Chain number at which you
wish to stop the Song Chain playback.
When playback reaches a Chain number to which the
“end” command has been assigned, playback will stop.
If you want to stop playback at a certain Chain number
and restart from the next Chain number, assign the “stop”
command to that Chain number.
n The Song Chain will be stored as part of system data.
