(2) The Sequences of the song will – by default – be arranged sequentially (the first
Sequence will be "Sequ-01," the second Sequence will be "Sequ-02," etc., unless you
named them differently). You can arrange and rearrange the order of your Sequences
by touching and holding your finger over a Sequence until a menu appears:
SAVE: Saves the Sequence.
COPY: Copies the Sequence.
PASTE: Pastes a copied Sequence over the current one.
CLEAR: Deletes the Sequence.
CANCEL: Closes the menu.
Tip: To use the same Sequence repeatedly, instead of copying and pasting it several
times in a row, you can tap the Sequence you want to repeat then touch MEAS. The
MEAS button will turn the selected Sequence into a 1-, 2-, 4-, or 8-measure phrase of
that Sequence, depending on how many times you touch the button. (The Sequence
"cursor" will be divided into that many equal parts to indicate its length.)
(3) To play the Song, touch the TRANSPORT tab to reveal the transport controls and
touch PLAY. (Touch anywhere outside the TRANSPORT tab to hide it again.)
Tip: Touch the CHAIN button to activate or deactivate Chain Mode. When Chain Mode
is on, the CHAIN button will be lit and playback will advance through the Sequences
(and loop the entire chain of Sequences) until you deactivate CHAIN or touch STOP.
When not in Chain Mode, only the currently selected Sequence will loop until you
activate CHAIN or press STOP.
(4) When are you finished with your Song, touch and hold your finger over it until a
menu appears. Touch SAVE to save it or CANCEL to return to the previous screen
without saving.
Naming a Song/Sequence:
(1) On the Song/Seq Page, touch a Song/Sequence number to select it.
(2) Touch the blue box on the left of its grid where the name is displayed.
(3) Using the keyboard that appears, enter a name for the Song/Sequence. When you
are finished, tap "Done."
(4) To save that name to that Song/Sequence, touch and hold your finger over it until a
menu appears.
(5) Touch SAVE to save the new name or CANCEL to return to the previous screen
without saving.
Recording a song as a WAV and MIDI file:
Note: The SynthStation Studio recorder will capture all audio played by your
iPhone/iPod touch. This includes the effects of changes you make on any of the other
pages during recording, allowing you to use the app's controls in real time. (The app will
continue recording even if you exit the recording page.)
(1) Connect your iPhone/iPod touch to a local Wi-Fi network.*
(2) Connect your computer to the same Wi-Fi network.
(3) Touch the RECORDER button in the bottom right-hand corner.
