Songs
When using the 2488neo, the term “song” refers to all the
data related to the recording, playback, editing, and other
work in a single project. Each song includes recorded audio
data, and a
“playlist” (playback procedures for audio data),
track and mark point information, and settings for the
mixer, effects, MIDI, tempo and pitch control. This infor-
mation is never shared between different songs.
Each partition can contain a maximum of 250 songs, and
each song can be given a name.
You must select a song by creating a new song, or loading an
existing song before you can do any work with the 2488neo.
Save the song when you finish working. See “First steps in
recording (song management) ” on page 44 for more details.
NOTE
When you change the active partition (see "Selecting
the active partition" on page 13) the most recently
used song in the newly active partition is loaded.
