5.1G Change Song Tempo as the SR-16 Plays
To change the Song tempo as it plays, press the TEMPO/PAGE UP button to increase the
tempo, and the TEMPO/PAGE DOWN button to decrease the tempo.
5.2 REAL TIME SONG CREATION
To create a Song in real time (this assumes an empty song):
1. (Optional) In Pattern mode, select the Pattern you want for the first Song step.
2. Select Song mode and the desired Song number.
3. Select Compose mode. The display will show STEP 01 and the contents of the step,
which is currently END (if the first step says END, that indicates that the Song is empty since
it contains no data. If the first step shows a PATTern number, then the Song is not empty).
4. If you did not perform step (1) above, enter the desired Pattern for step 1 (Preset or User, A
or B, A Fill or B Fill).
5. Press PLAY. If you performed step (1) above, the Pattern you selected will begin playing.
Otherwise, the Pattern specified in step (4) above will start playing.
6. If you enter a new Pattern number (Preset or User, A or B) while the first Pattern is playing,
the new Pattern will begin playing after the first Pattern has finished and be stored as another
Song step in the Song. If you let the original Pattern keep playing, it will add a new Song step
with its Pattern number every time it repeats.
7. In addition to selecting different Patterns, you can press FILL at any time. The SR-16 will
remember where you pressed FILL.
As in Pattern mode, pressing FILL will automatically transition to the B Pattern if the A Pattern
is currently playing (and vice versa), or will continue playing the same Pattern if the FILL
button is held past the end of the Fill.
A Fill can transition into any Pattern number, A or B, by specifying the Pattern before the end
of the Fill and releasing FILL before the Fill has finished playing. If you hold FILL past the end
of the Fill, the associated Main Pattern will continue playing and any Pattern you may have
previously specified for the next Step will be forgotten.
When recording a Song in Compose mode, the Count/A/B/Fill footswitch duplicates the FILL
button function.
5.2A Real Time Song Editing
If you have already recorded material in a Song, pressing PLAY while in Compose mode will
not allow recording until after the last Song step (as indicated by the display switching from
PLAYING to RECORDING). However, you can overdub Fills at any time, and these will be
recorded in the Song where played. Under these conditions, holding FILL past the downbeat
doesn't make any difference; the Patterns used in Song steps are not altered.
