[. . . ] This means that if you load the sample object back into the K2661 via MIDI, there is virtually no way it will point to and play back the same area of sample memory as when it was dumped, let alone the same sample data. However, this can lead to some interesting results. Sample objects that reference the K2661's ROM sample area will reference the same area when you load them back in via MIDI. 11-19 Master Mode Object Utilities Using the Object Utilities from the Editor You can get to the object utilities while editing any object. This is provided as a convenience, for example to be able to do certain housekeeping work such as deleting samples to free up room in your sample RAM, or making copies of objects. Access to the utilities can be done by pressing the Object soft button from any Save/Replace dialog in the editor: EditProgram:Save|||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Save|Train|Wreck|as:|ID#412||||||||||||| (replace|Train|Wreck)||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Object|||||||||||||Rename|Replace|Cancel You can get to this Save/Replace dialog when editing an object by either exiting after you have modified the object, or pressing the Save soft button. If you try to use the Copy utility to copy the exact object you are in the process of editing, you will make a copy of the edited version. With sample objects this would be one way to save off a copy sample that references a small part of a much larger sample. You could remain in the Sample Editor, and continue to edit the larger sample, by pressing Done followed by Cancel after making the copy. This may be a faster way to save many "snippets" out of a sample than continually reentering the Sample Editor after saving copy samples to different IDs. When using the Object Utilities from within the editor, you must be careful not to delete any of the objects you are currently editing. This could have unpredictable results. 11-20 Song Mode Getting Started with the Sequencer Chapter 12 Song Mode Getting Started with the Sequencer The K2661's sequencer is a powerful and versatile tool for songwriters, composers, and anyone else who wants to record and play back songs. As with any tool, however, it's best to start with the basics. This section begins with a tutorial where you will record a song, then shows some of the mixing capabilities of the sequencer. If you are familiar with other sequencers, you will have no problem using Song mode in the K2661. Read through this section, however, to learn about the features that make the K2661's sequencer unique. For complete information on the Song Editor, refer to Chapter 12 of the K2661 Musician's Guide, provided on the CD-ROM. What is a Sequencer? A sequencer is similar in some ways to a multi-track tape recorder: you can record and play back all sorts of music and sounds, layer sounds on top of other sounds, and change or manipulate things that you've previously recorded. Unlike a tape recorder, however, you do not actually record sounds with a sequencer. Rather, you are recording commands that cause sounds to be played. Nonetheless, we will sometimes explain sequencer features by drawing analogies to familiar tape recording techniques such as splicing and overdubbing. There are several advantages to recording a song by sequencing. For one thing, sequencer commands take up much less disk space than digitally recorded music would, so you can get a lot of information (that is, music) on a single disk. Furthermore, you can easily make changes to your sequences. [. . . ] This list describes how each of the preset programs can be modulated or altered by various controllers. Only those control assignments that may not be immediately evident are listed. Control assignments like attack velocity and keynumber apply to most programs.
