Song Scene
The explanations here apply to step #6 of the Basic

Song Scene is a powerful function that allows you to
save five different “snapshots” of important song-
related parameters — including transpose, tempo,
track mute status, and the basic sound/mixing controls
(all parameter settings controllable from the Knobs and
CS sliders).
n The Song Scene settings can be set independently for
each song.
● Storing the Song Scene
● Recalling the Song Scene
Simply press any of the [SF1] - [SF5] buttons to recall
the setting.
One of the convenient advantages of Song Scene is that
it lets you instantly and automatically execute
parameter settings that normally require many button
presses or controller operations. Use it during song
recording or playback to make instantaneous setting
changes.
Song editing in the Song Play mode
The explanations here apply to step #5 of the Basic
Procedure on page 179.
The Song Play mode lets you perform a variety of
general editing operations on the selected song. For
more detailed and comprehensive editing operations,
use the Song Edit and Song Mixing modes.
● [F2] Song Play Groove
The Grid Groove function makes it possible to
adjust the pitch, timing, length, and velocity of
notes in a specified track via a 1-measure 16th-note
grid to create “grooves” that would not be possible
with precise sequencer-like programming. The Grid
Groove function affects song playback without
actually changing the sequence data.
