Create a final track with Song mode

Your Woovebox is centered around full Song production. As such the device comes with a powerful dedicated Song mode. Learning Song mode is key to getting the most out of your Woovebox, as the entire device and UI is built around it. Learning the Woovebox, you should endeavour to move on from just playing loops in track editing/sequencer mode as soon as possible.

Song mode is so powerful (and fun to use!), that even with just a single 16-step pattern per track, you can create an entire compelling song that keeps the listener's attention start-to-finish.

Once you have created one or more patterns elements and motifs across multiple tracks, you can sequence build-ups of these by switching to Song mode (hold value knob and short-press 16/Song).

Once in Song mode ("SG.xx"), turn the value knob to the right until the screen reads "Fr.01". You can now create and edit the first "fragment" (fragment 01) of your song. If your screen happens to read "DJ.01" you are editing the DJ FX for that fragment - in that case "switch" to Song mode once more (e.g. hold value knob and short-press 16/Song) to toggle between fragment editing mode and DJ FX editing mode.

When your song plays, the Woovebox steps through a number of sections ("fragments"). Fragments have a length (specify length by holding write and turning value knob) for which they play and/or effect the tracks you specify. No length (e.g. length equals zero) and no tracks enabled (e.g. all LEDs are off), means that song playback should end at that fragment ("End").

For example, to start fragment 01 off with the kickdrum and the bassline, hold write and short-press 5/Ki and then, while still holding write, short-press 2/bS.

The kick and bass tracks now light up, indicating that they will play for the duration of this fragment. You have just started your first song. On the next fragment you could, for example have your hi-hats come in. On the next, your arpeggio. On the next your lead, etc.

Much like editing notes on tracks, in a Song mode fragment, you can hold an active (e.g. "lit up") track and edit a number of settings. These settings include;

• Behavior ("Behv") (play, mute, fade in/out, and various filter, pitch, and gater effects)
• The pattern ("Pttn") number that the track should play (and please note that chains are still respected!)
• Chord lock ("CdLk") determines whether the track should respond to chord changes
  
• Retrigger Pattern ("retr.Pt") applies a special step retriggering pattern, allowing for retrigger-based variations - useful for fills and stutters or more radical transformations of notes

Use the context menu to insert, delete or clone fragments.

You can even apply advanced DJ effects, or dynamically record the playing fragment to a buffer, which you can then start looping in subsequent fragments.
