Editing Songs
This chapter explains the procedure for editing songs.
Loading the Song You Want to
Edit
When you edit a song, you’re modifying a song that’s already
recorded into internal memory. When you’re going to edit a song
saved to user memory or memory card, you have to first load it into
the internal memory.
The internal song will be lost if you turn power off or load
another song into internal memory. If internal memory contains
a song you wish to keep, you must save that song to user
memory or memory card (p. 168).
1. Press [SEQUENCER].

If you play back the song while the Song Play screen is
displayed, the screen will scroll in keeping with the song
playback location.
Loading Individual Tracks/Patterns
of Song Data
If you have selected a song file (extension “.SVQ”) or Standard MIDI
File (extension “.MID”), you can load individual phrase tracks or
patterns.
1. After step 4 of “Loading the Song You Want to Edit,” press
[7 (Load Track)].
The Load Song File (Track) window appears.
2. Move the cursor to the left of “Source” (load source), and
select the track (TRK 1–16) or pattern (PTN001–100) that you
want to load.
* If you are loading from a Standard MIDI File, it is not possible to select
patterns (PTN001–100). Also, if you are loading from a Format 0
Standard MIDI File, this will be fixed at “TRK ALL,” and individual
tracks cannot be selected.
3. Move the cursor to the right of “Destination” (load
destination), and select the load-destination track (TRK 1–
16) or pattern (PTN001–100).
