This section describes how to line up user patterns in a desired order to create an entire song. This
mode of operation is called the song mode.
What Is a Song?
A song is a programmed sequence of preset patterns or user patterns that are played automatically.
A song consists of multiple slots (called "steps"), each of which contains one pattern. The
maximum length of a song is 99 steps. The maximum number of songs that can be stored in the
MRT-3 is 99. (The actual number of available steps and songs will depend on the number of
distinct sounds in user patterns and the number of steps in other songs.)
Note that the number of steps is not equal to the number of measures. The length of each step
depends on the pattern that is contained in the step. For example, in the song in the above
illustration, if the length of the pattern U01 is 2 measures and the length of patterns U02 and U03
1 measure, the song will look as follows.
Besides the pattern number, each song step can contain the following information.
Settings for entire song
•Song kit: ••••••••••••••••••••••• Number of kit to be used for entire song
•Master tempo:••••••••••••••• Tempo information for entire song
Settings for individual patterns
•Tempo change: ••••••••••••• Information for changing the tempo within the song
•Volume change: •••••••••••• Information for changing the volume within the song
It is also possible to not specify a song kit and memorize individual kits for each pattern. In this
case, the kit will be switched together with the pattern.
