If you do not store a top scene (if the top scene is empty), then: When you move
back to the start of the song from any other position in the song, settings will sim-
ply retain the values they had prior to the move. It will probably be impossible to
predict how the song will sound when you begin playback.
How Are Scene Buttons, Scene-Recall Events, and Scene Contents Related?
When you press a scene button during recording, the song records the button press
as a scene-recall event on the MASTER track. Notice that the song does not store
the scene content itself; it only stores the scene-recall event. If the scene is cur-
rently empty, for example, then the recall event will not cause anything to happen. If
you have recently changed the content of the scene, then the event will recall your
newest scene settings.
For example, assume that you press SCENE button [A] at location 050:1 while re-
cording a song. This tells the song to go and get the content of scene A whenever it
passes position 050:1 during playback. If later you decide that you do not like the
content of scene [A], you can delete the scene using the EVENT EDIT/LOCATION &
VALUE job.
What Does the [INIT] Button Do?
You can use the [INIT] button to initialize (that is, to clear) any scene, so that scene
becomes empty and ineffective. If you initialize scene A, for example, then any scene-
[A] button presses recorded into your song (or executed manually) will simply be
ignored—until such time as you decide to store new data into scene A.
To initialize a scene, proceed as follows. Keep in mind, however, that this operation
will delete all of the scene’s current data.
1.
Be sure that the sequencer is in PLAY or PLAY STANDBY mode. (You cannot ini-
tialize scenes while in REC or REC STANDBY.)
2.
Be sure that the SCENE/MARKER switch is set to SCENE.
3.
Hold down the [INIT] button, and, while continuing to hold it, press and hold
the scene button for the scene you want to initialize.
4.
Continue holding both buttons down until the message INITIALIZED appears on
the screen.
Where are Scene-Recall Events Stored, and How Can I Delete Them?
Scene recall events are stored on the MASTER track. You can delete them by using
the EVENT EDIT | EVENT CLEAR job or the TRACK EDIT | TRACK INIT job to
clear the events from the MASTER track.
