Song Interface Overview

The Song Page displays a series of Song Blocks in a linear fashion, arranged in rows. Each row contains 16 song blocks, with the next row displayed as blocks proceed beyond 16.

The currently selected row is expanded on the screen to show the contents of the song blocks, including BPM, Duration, and Tags. The top of the display shows detailed settings for the selected block, including Tag, Duration, BPM, Clip, Matrix Clip, LFO Slot, Envelope Slot, and DAW Scene.

The Grid Pads on the Song Page correspond directly to the song blocks in a 1:1 ratio with the display. Each pad represents a block, with pads containing content illuminated in blue. Empty pads are unlit, while the current selected block is shown in white, and the active block is shown in green.

Creating and Editing Song Blocks

There are three primary methods for creating and editing song blocks in Reliq: Tags, Snapshots, and Manual Editing. Each method provides different levels of control and flexibility when defining the contents of a Song Block.

Tags

Tags allow for the categorization of various Reliq containers, such as clips, matrix clips, LFO slots, Envelope slots, and DAW scenes. Each tag is unique and can be assigned to one container per track and type.

To define a tag for any Reliq container:

• Navigate to the desired container (e.g., clip, matrix clip, LFO slot, Envelope slot, or DAW scene).

• Rotate the encoder above the TAG label  on the screen to assign a tag. The tag will color the container. If a tag is already assigned to a container of the same track and type, the option will be greyed out.

Tagged containers can be used to automatically generate song blocks. On the Song Page, press the encoder  above the TAG label to open the Tag Selection Menu. Select a tag to generate a song block with the contents of the tagged containers.

Example: To generate an intro structure, navigate to the clip of each track or a column of sequencer clips, and assign the tag Yellow. Then, go to the Song Page, press the encoder above the TAG label  , and select the Yellow Tag to generate a song block with the contents of the tagged clips.

Snapshots

Snapshots capture the current state of the project and save it to a song block. This includes all currently playing clips, matrix clips, LFO slots, Envelope slots, and the DAW scene.

To take a snapshot:

• Press  and hold the encoder above the SNAPSHOT label on the screen.

• The snapshot will be saved to the currently selected song block.

Snapshots offer a quick way to generate song blocks based on live performance states.

Manual Editing

Whether created through Tags or Snapshots, the contents of any song block can be edited manually. To edit a song block:

• Select the desired block on the Grid Pads.

• The options for the selected block will appear at the top of the display.

For manual editing:

• Click the encoder above the CLIP label  to assign or edit clips for each track.

• Click the encoder above the MATRIX CLIP  label to assign or edit matrix clips.

• Click the encoder above the LFO label  to assign or edit LFO slots.

• Click the encoder above the ENVELOPE label  to assign or edit Envelope slots.

• Click the encoder above the DAW label  to assign or edit DAW scenes.

Song Block General Settings

Each Song Block can have its own BPM and DURATION settings. To edit these, click the encoder above the BPM or DURATION label  on the display. The current BPM and Duration settings are shown inside the selected block.

Song Structure

Song blocks are arranged in a linear progression, starting from Block 1 and moving sequentially up to Block 256. When playback reaches an empty block, the next active block is selected automatically, continuing until the last active block is reached. The total duration of a song is the sum of all song blocks’ durations.

The Song Page can be activated or deactivated, allowing to switch between EDIT Mode, PERFORMANCE Mode, and SONG Mode. When the Song Page setting is OFF, pressing the Play button will not recall the first song block but will instead play the currently selected clips, matrix clips, LFO slots, Envelope slots, and DAW scene. When the Song Page is set to ON, the song blocks will be recalled in linear order. Setting the SONG PAGE to ON can be done by rotating the encoder above the SONG PAGE label  on the screen.

In Song Mode, follow-up actions for clips, matrix clips, LFO slots, and Envelope slots are disabled. These follow-ups will be triggered only when the Song Page is set to OFF.

Navigating Song Blocks

To start playback of a song structure, ensure that the SONG PAGE setting is set to ON, and press the PLAY button  . Song blocks will play back in linear order, with the current selected song block shown in white, and the active song block displayed in green.

To jump between blocks during playback:

• Use the Arrow Buttons  to move forward or backward in the song structure.

• Press a Song Block on the Grid Pads to jump to that block at the End Of Bar (EOB).

To edit a song block during playback:

• Press the SELECT button and the desired Song Block on the grid pads.

• The selected block will be available for editing without being triggered.
