Conclusion

The sequencer play mode is selected anytime you press the [SEQ] key
from another mode. The sequencer play display, shown below, allows
selection of the song number to play, the measure from which to begin
playback, and tempo.
Once the sequencer play mode has been selected, you can use the sequencer
and keys to move to any measure from which you want to begin
playback, or the key to move directly to the first measure. The [RUN] key
starts playback from the selected measure, and the [STOP] key stops playback
at any time.
Track Muting
If you press the [SELECT] key at any time in the sequencer play mode —
even while a sequence is playing — the track mute display appears.
Then, while holding the [SELECT] key, the TR1 through TR8 keys (nu-
meric keys [7], [4], [1], [0], [8], [5], [2], and [-], respectively) can be used to
alternately engage or disengage muting for the corresponding track. A dash
appears in place of the track number when a track is muted.
Now that you now how to record and play back sequences with the SY55,
you'll want to take a look at the "SEQUENCER MODE" information begin-
ning on page 116 of the reference section. There are many important editing
and other jobs that have not been described here, but which can make the
process of "sequencing" smoother and much more versatile.
