A structure for
every change.
A song combines musical timing with the events your rig should perform. Set the foundation before filling in the timeline.
Set the song’s timing.
In Songs, tap + to create a song. Set its name, tempo, and time signature, then build the song structure.
Tempo determines the relationship between beats and elapsed time. The time signature helps organize the timeline into measures and beats. Get both right before rehearsing timed MIDI changes.
Build sections you can recognize.
Use sections to divide the song into meaningful parts, such as an intro, verse, chorus, and bridge. Set each section’s musical length and use colors to make the structure easy to scan.
Keep the structure close to what you actually play. Section boundaries are also useful navigation points when rehearsing with previous/next section commands.
Some song edits can prompt you to reset the structure. Read that prompt before confirming, particularly after you have placed events.
Prepare the beginning and end.
The song editor includes start and stop event areas. Use them to define the changes you need when entering or stopping a song. Presets and patches let you reuse these changes instead of rebuilding MIDI messages.
Events at the beginning of the song can fire during program loading. Test how choosing a song prepares your rig, as well as how it behaves when you press Play or Stop.
Manage the library.
The Songs list is alphabetically sorted. Use Edit to show trash buttons; the add button is hidden while editing. Deleting a library song asks for confirmation and includes Cancel.
Removing a song from a performance is different: that removes its place in that performance, not the underlying song from your library.
