What specific role did the Neisech play vis-a-vis the Korban?

R. Bachye (citing R. Chananel): ?The moment the Kohen bent down to pour the Neisech into the bowl on the Mizbe?ach, the S?gan Kohen Gadol waved the cloths that he was holding, ben Arza clashed the cymbals and the Levi?im would begin to sing the Shir shel Yom. 1
