Play a song before another

So i have a mc505 and a sp606. In the mc505 if you play song mode the songs are playing along one before the other. (sorry for my nasty english) I mean that when song 1 ends it automatically plays song 2.
In the sp606 when song 1 ends it automatically starts again with song 1.
Is possible to change that?? Thanx.

I don't know about 606 but with my 505 (which is previous version) you can play a song and while playing first song you can already queue up the second song and so on.

I don't use song mode so I'll have to check it out for you. Watch this space.

So thats the way the mc505 works but the sp606 doesn't do it and i think it's a great failure. I also was thinking about using only the pattern mode.
But what's the sense of the songs mode if you only can play one song at time?

From what I can work out, the song mode works the same as pattern mode - use the data wheel to dial up the next song and it'll jump to it when the first one's done.....

NOPE. If you select another song, you have to stop the music to play it!!! :roll:

This is really crappy, I must say. You can make a song 'list', which it'll play through, but you can't 'que' songs up like a DJ. Whack.

Solution (workaround...): Don't use song mode! A song is, after all, just a collection of patterns. Write down the order you wish to play the patterns and practise playing them, like a 'band'.

You need less patterns for variation (becuase of the mute buttons) and you can remix on the fly. That's what it's all about! Stuff song mode, it sucks :lol:
