1. SELECT A SONG MEMORY
In Song Multi Play Mode, press [F2] ( Seq ) to access the Song Sequence Play
function, then select a song memory location (01 ~ 16). Then press [F1] ( Mlt ) to
jump to the Song Multi function, which displays the mixer screen.
The currently
selected song is the currently selected multi.
2. ASSIGN INSTRUMENTS TO TRACKS AND DETERMINE
MULTI PARAMETER SETTINGS
Press a TRACK button (1 ~ 16) on the panel (it will light red, indicating that it is
the currently selected track in the multi) and assign an Instrument to it by select-
ing a voice from the Preset, GM, or Internal voice bank. Then determine the
settings for each parameter (voice volume, pan, effects send levels, tuning, etc.,
plus keyboard, controller and MIDI assignments, etc.) as you work, whether
you re recording a song sequence or structuring a performance setup.
All settings
that you make in Song Mode define the multi.
3. STORE THE MULTI IN A SONG MEMORY
When you re in the middle of an intense music session, it s a good idea to be in
the habit of storing your song multi (and sequence) in a song memory bank. If
you keep storing the multi periodically as you go, perhaps even storing the
various noteworthy permutations of it in different song memories, you ll always
have a back-up to resume from in a worst case scenario where an important multi
is lost. Before storing your multi, give it a name within the Song Sequence Play
function. To store the multi in a song memory location (01 ~ 16), press STORE
followed by [F2] ( Multi ). Use the JOG, INC/DEC or KEYPAD to choose an
internal song memory location, then press ENTER to execute the operation. To
exit the Store Mode, press EXIT or any other desired MODE button.
Always store
multis in a song memory location as you work.
4. SAVE THE MULTI TO FLOPPY DISK
When you ve finished defining a multi, or even if you re in the middle of the
process and have to stop, save the multi to floppy disk, so you can load it back
into the W5/W7 the next time you need it and pick up from precisely where you
left off. A
lways save multis and other important music data to floppy disk.
For more information about song multis, see Song Mode, page 74.
