SOLOING AND MUTING INSTRUMENTS
To isolate one or more Instrument voices as the song plays, press the SOLO
button while the sequencer is running. The SOLO button will become red,
indicating that the W5/W7 is in Solo Mode. Tracks with sequencer data in them
will be either red (solo status), or green (mute status).
SOLO - After pressing the SOLO button the currently selected TRACK
button will become red, indicating that it is in solo status. Also, it will be
the only sound you hear. You can solo more than one track at a time.
MUTE - The other tracks with data in them will all be green, indicating
that they are in mute status, or are turned off, and therefore you won t
be able to hear them.
EXIT - To exit Solo Mode, simply press the TRACK SELECT button.
CHANGING THE TEMPO
To change the tempo, press function key [F2], located immediately below the
abbreviation Seq . The Song Sequence Play function screen will appear.
While the sequencer is running, you can position the cursor over the musical note
symbol (which represents tempo in quarter-notes per minute). Now you can
change the tempo as the song plays, using the JOG, INC/DEC, or the KEYPAD.
NOTE: The Song Sequence Play
function also lets you choose a
specific measure to start playing the
song from, as well as choose
different songs, name a song, or
view the Song Directory. (For more
information about the Song
Sequence display when recording
and playing back songs, see Song
Mode, page 88.)
