103 Your song

Build a song from two progressions, remove a section, shape the others, and play it.

Picks up where 102 left off, with Polly stopped and a song with no sections yet.

1. Add sections Press HOME for the Home page, and HOME again for the Song page. Press white keys 1, 2, 1 and 2. Each white key adds a section that plays that key's progression, so you get P1 Pop, P2 Ballad, P1 Pop and P2 Ballad.
2. Remove a section Turn KNOB 1 (Section) to section 4. Turn KNOB 2 (Prog) down, past P1, to "–". The row now says "section removed". Press HOME twice to go to the Home page and back to the Song page. Section 4 is gone.
3. Shape a section Turn KNOB 1 (Section) to section 2. Turn KNOB 3 (Groove) to B for the busier groove. Turn KNOB 4 (Repeat) to x2 so the section plays twice.
4. Mute the drums Turn KNOB 1 (Section) to section 1. Press black keys 1, 2 and 3 to mute the drums and percussion (D1, D2 and PC). They're muted in section 1 only, and an M appears on its row.
5. Check the Intro and the Ending Turn SELECT to page 2. KNOB 2 (Intro) and KNOB 3 (Ending) are on, so the song starts with the style's Intro and ends with its Ending. KNOB 4 (At end) is on "stop", so the song stops after the Ending.
6. Play the song Press PLAY. The Intro plays first, with its clock filling up at the top. Then each section plays in turn, and its clock fills up as it plays. After section 3, the Ending plays and the song stops.
