Using the Makeup Tools
In addition to the Cover functions for songs and Styles
(see pages 38 and 63) that allow you to change song or
Style playback by selecting presets, the E-60/E-50 also
boasts a mode where you can customize playback of
the currently selected song or Style. Changes you per-
form here must be saved if you want them to be per-
manent.
The MAKEUP TOOLS settings are ignored by the E-60/
E-50’s 16-track Sequencer or Style Composer, unless
you “burn” those settings into your song or Style (see
“Before saving your settings” on page 107).
There are two sets of MAKEUP functions: one for songs
(Standard MIDI Files) and another for Styles. Because of
the striking similarities, we will discuss each item only
once and only point out aspects that behave differ-
ently.
Both environments can be selected via the same button
on the front panel, which is why we recommend you
always look at the information in the top line of the
display (“SONG MAKEUP TOOLS” or “STYLE MAKEUP
TOOLS”) before making any change whatsoever.
■Before changing the MAKEUP TOOLS settings of
a song
• Press the FINDER [SONG] button.
You can also press the [SONG] field on the main page
to select songs.
The display changes to:
• Select the memory area that contains the song you
want to change: press [INTERNAL¥MEMORY],
[FLOPPY] or [EXTERNAL¥MEMORY].
If you press [FLOPPY] or [EXTERNAL¥MEMORY], insert
the memory card or floppy disk with the desired song
into the slot (or drive). See “Playing back songs (Stan-
dard MIDI Files)” on p. 35 for details about selecting
songs.
• Select the song by pressing its field.
■Before changing the MAKEUP TOOLS settings of
a Style
• Press a button of the STYLE pad to select a Music
Style family.
• If necessary, use the [PAGE¥1]~[PAGE¥4] fields to
switch pages.
The number of pages depends on the selected family.
• Press the field of the Music Style you want to use.
See pages 25 and 73 for details about selecting Music
Styles.
