Song RAM memory. (Songs programmed on other
instruments that already contain two drum tracks can
be used like VA-76 songs with a “2nd Drum track”,
though.)

Select Off if you don’t need a second Drum Set, or set
the number of the desired track. “10” is not available
here because it always functions as Drum track.

Assigning the VariPhrase part by initializing the
Song RAM memory

The [

on track 13] field allows you to decide

whether or not the VariPhrase part should be used in
your new song. Press this field and use the [TEMPO/
DATA] dial to select “On” if you want to assign the
VariPhrase part to track 13. Otherwise, leave this
parameter in the “Off ” position.

5. Press the [EXECUTE] field to really initialize the
Song RAM memory (which you haven’t done so far).
The VA-76 now confirms that the Song RAM memory
is initialized and then jumps to the [Master] 16-track
Sequencer page.

All tracks will be initialized as follows:

6. See “Example 1: Recording a track” on page 142 for
what to do now.

Initializing only track 13 for VariPhrase use

The following function allows you to initialize just
track 13 for VariPhrase use, leaving the rest of the song
untouched. This may come in handy when track 13 of
an existing song contains nothing at all (or a part you
no longer need). In that case, initialize it and record
the desired VariPhrase part.

1. Press the [SONG COMPOSER] button and the [16
Tracks Sequencer] field.

2. Press the [Utility] field.

3. On the display page that appears now, press the
[Initialize 13th Track] field.
The display now looks more or less as follows:

4. Press the [EXECUTE] field to initialize track 13.
Remember that this erases the notes and other MIDI
messages of that track.

5. See “Example 1: Recording a track” on page 142 for
what to do now.
