OPERATING MODES
The basic operating modes of the W5/W7 are as follows:
SONG MODE
For performing Song Play, Song Record, Song Edit and Song Job mode opera-
tions. (For more information, see Song Mode, page 72.)
SONG PLAY - Lets you choose between Song Multi, Song Sequence Play and
Song Setup functions, in order to
define
a multi by assigning an Instrument
voice to each of the 16 tracks and determining sound mixer and other settings
for each track (including volume, panning, effects, tuning, note shift and pitch
bend), choose any of the 16 songs in internal song memory, assign various
MIDI settings including transmit channel, set the keyboard mode to Normal,
Split, Layer or 4-Zone, set the sequencer clock to internal or MIDI sync, and
determine other settings which affect the currently selected song multi. (For
more information, see Song Play Mode, page 73.)
SONG RECORD - Lets you record a sequence in the currently selected song
memory, either in real-time (including replace, overdub and punch-in record-
ing) or step-time, as well as determine record parameters like quantize, tempo,
click volume and others. (For more information, see Song Record Mode, page
85.)
SONG EDIT - Lets you view and edit individual note, controller and other
MIDI events in the song sequence, through three separate functions Data
Change, which lets you modify the data, Data Insert, which lets you insert new
data, and Graph, which lets you view notes as black squares on a keyboard
diagram plus a horizontal line which displays black dots that indicate the
position of note data in a measure. (For more information, see Song Edit
