The Song Edit View

The Song Edit view is where you add the wav files and midi file for a song, route them to outputs and set the submix fader levels for each output. From this screen you can also adjust the overall levels of the outputs for the setlist.

🛠

This part of the firmware is still in development, so it is not yet possible to play songs whilst adjusting the mix in the desktop software. We are working on this feature and it will be provided as a firmware update. In the meantime it is best to set up your songs and estimate your levels in the software, and then copy the session to the P-1 and fine-tune the mix directly on the pedal.

Outputs section

This is where you can set the levels of the 6 outputs and the headphones output for the setlist. At 100 the output is at 0dB (no attenuation). At 0 the output is at -100dB attenuation. The knobs default to 95 (-5dB) to allow room to turn up outputs where needed. Any adjustments to these knobs affect the whole setlist.

Adjust the level of an output

Click and drag on an output knob, or click on the number and enter the desired value.

Select an output and view its submix mixer

Click on an output number or knob to select that output and view its source mixer for the current song. Here you can choose what is routed to the output and adjust its submix.

Output submix section

This is the currently selected output’s submix of wavs and aux for the song. There is a fader for each wav, plus one for the aux input, allowing you to adjust the levels running to the output. The fader values represent a % of the sound source’s signal. At 100 the sound source is played at full signal. At 0 there is 0% of the signal. The faders default to 95% of source signal, to allow room to turn up channels where needed.

Adjust the level of a sound source to selected output

Click and drag the fader, or click on the number at the top of the fader and type the desired value.

Mute / unmute a sound source to the selected output

Click once on an active (lit up red) sound source square below a fader to mute it. Click once on a muted (greyed out) sound source to unmute it. Note that this only mutes/unmutes it for the currently selected output’s submix.

Sound source section

The section at the bottom of the screen contains 6 wav sound sources where you can add the wav files you want to use in the song, plus the aux input. The 2 characters indicate the name of the sound source, these will also be displayed on the P-1 mixer. The icon indicates if the file loaded is mono or stereo. Hovering over a wav sound source reveals the file path of a loaded wav.

💡

Wav files should be 16bit 44.1kHz. Also please note that the P-1 does not currently support non-English alphabet characters in files names.

Add a wav file or edit the channel name

Click on an empty sound source, or double-click one that already contains a wav file. This will open a panel where you can edit the channel name or load a wav file.

Level adjust

This control lets you make an adjustment to all the output levels just for this song. So for instance, if the song is a bit louder than others in the setlist, you can turn this knob down to -2 and it will reduce all of the outputs by -2dB just for this particular song. Note that this is relative to each output’s current level. So if an output is at 95 and you set Song Adjust to -2, then the output will be at 93 (-7dB) for this song.

Connections remaining

This shows how many connections you have available. You may have up to 32 connections between sound sources and outputs active at once. Read more about connections here.

BPM

This just sets the BPM for the song’s visual metronome. If the metronome flash is enabled, the play button will flash at the chosen BPM, before and during playback. If a midi file is loaded for the song, the P-1 will use the BPM value set here before the song starts, then switch to taking the BPM from the midi file tempo during playback. Note that the BPM setting on the P-1 does not affect the playback speed of the tracks. The P-1 is not capable of time-stretching audio.

At end of song

This setting defines the behaviour that happens when the song finishes. You have 3 options here: Queue next - This will queue up the next song in the setlist when the current one finishes. All you have to do to start the song when it is queued is press PLAY.

Play next - This will automatically begin playback of the next song.

Loop - This will start playback of the current song again. The song continues to loop until you manually stop it or play another song.

Midi file

Click here to choose a midi file to play during the song. You can load any type 0 or type 1, Up to 16 channel midi file and it will be played through the midi out port on the P-1.
