SONG PLAY
In Song Play Mode you can access the functions which let you define a song multi, select
and playback a song sequence, or designate various keyboard, MIDI and controller settings.
At power on, the W5/W7 always starts up in Song Play
Mode, Song Multi function status, ready to play the Instrument
voice assigned to Track 1 of Song Multi #01, as indicated by the
Song Multi function screen, which displays the 16 channel
stereo mixer.
When the W5/W7 is shipped from the factory, all 16 song
multis are undefined, i.e., every track in every multi is set to
GM voice #001, except for Track 10 the drum voice track
which is set to GM drum voice #01.
NOTE: At power on, the names and parameter settings of all 16 song
multis in internal song memory remain as they were stored at the
time of power off; however, song sequencer data and Song voice bank
memory is always dumped at power off, and therefore must be
reloaded when needed.
Always remember to save your important song
data to floppy disk before turning the power off!
● ENTERING AND EXITING SONG PLAY MODE
To enter Song Play Mode from another mode, simply press
SONG in the Mode section on the panel. To exit song play
mode, simply press another MODE button.
NOTE: When entering Song Play Mode from another mode,
either the Song Multi function screen or the Song Sequence Play
function screen will appear, depending on which one was selected
the last time you were in Song Play Mode.
● ACCESSING A SONG PLAY FUNCTION
To access the Song Play functions, press the SONG button
in the Mode section on the panel. Pressing [F1] ( Mlt )
accesses the Song Multi function. Pressing [F2] ( Seq )
accesses the Song Sequence Play function. Pressing [F3]
( Setup ) accesses the Song Setup function.
SONG MULTI PLAY - The Song Multi function lets
you assign an Instrument voice to each of the 16 track
buttons on the panel and designate all sound mixer and
other settings for each track as well as for the overall
mix including volume, panning and digital effects
settings, plus tuning, note shift and pitch bend param-
eters and access the Voice Directory.
SONG SEQUENCE PLAY - The Song Sequence Play
function lets you select any of the 16 songs in internal
song memory, designate a specific measure for the
sequence to start playing back from, adjust tempo,
assign two measure-locate positions for instant access to
the two most frequently accessed measures, name a
song, and access the Song Directory.
SONG SETUP - The Song Setup function lets you
assign various MIDI settings including transmit channel,
MIDI filter and control status, set the keyboard mode to
normal, split, layer or 4-zone, set the sequencer clock to
internal or MIDI sync, and determine a transposition
value.
● PLAYING A SONG SEQUENCE
You can play back the currently selected song sequence
from within either the Song Multi function or the Song
Sequence Play function, by pressing the RUN button in the
Sequencer section on the panel. You can also switch back
and forth between the two functions and adjust parameter
settings as the song plays. (NOTE: When you start the
sequence again from the top, all settings will be reset
according to the MIDI events as recorded in the sequence.)
