THE TRANSITORY NATURE OF SEGMENT MODE

Segment mode is the SP-12’s “scratchpad” where you work up rhythmic segments

prior to combining them in songs. Therefore, tempos, mixes, and most other segment

parameters set while in segment mode (except tuning and dynamics) are retained

only while you are in segment mode. When going into song mode, the song

parameters for tempo, mix, and so on replace the parameters worked out in segment

mode. If you return to segment mode from song mode, the segment parameters for

tempo, mix, etc. will be those of the last song you selected.

The Right Arrow/Left Arrow Buttons (stepping and “fast forwarding”)

The Right Arrow and Left Arrow buttons step through values shown in the display.

Each time you press one of these buttons you will step through one value. Holding

down these buttons “fast forwards” (in the case of Right Arrow) or “fast backwards”

(in the case of Left Arrow) through the values.

The Current Song Display

When you first turn on the SP-12, the display will show the Current Song and tempo

for that song. The Current Song remains as is until changed.

The Current Segment Display

When you go into segment mode, the display will show the Current Segment and

tempo for that segment. The Current Segment remains as is until changed.

BEEP MESSAGES

The SP-12 confirms certain actions (as described later in the manual) by sending out

a “beep” tone. When monitoring via the MIX OUT jack, the beep level is set by the

METRONOME VOLUME in conjunction with the MIX VOLUME. Since the MIX

VOLUME serves as a master control for all SP-12 sounds (drums and metronome), if

MIX VOLUME is turned down you won’t hear anything -- and that includes beep

messages
