Main mode
Sequence block
Here you can select the sequence that you want to record or play back, and make various
settings for the sequence such as the number of measures and the time signature.
A Seq field
Selects the sequence that will be recorded or played. If you turn the [JOG] dial to select a
different sequence while a sequence is playing, playback will switch to the newly selected
sequence when the current sequence has been played to the end. (This is called the Next
Sequence function.) The sequence to be played next is shown in the Simul Play block.
If you move the cursor to this field and press the [WINDOW] key, the Sequence popup win-
dow will appear, allowing you to copy or delete a sequence, or specify the initial settings.
B Tempo field
According to the setting of the SEQ/MASTER field ( 4 ), this field sets either the tempo
specific to that sequence or the tempo that is common to all sequences.
If you move the cursor to this field and press the [WINDOW] key, the Tempo Change
popup window will appear, allowing you to insert tempo changes into the sequence.
C Init field
Displays the base tempo that will be used when using the Tempo Change function. This
field will be displayed only if the Tempo Change field is turned on in the Tempo Change
popup window.
D SEQ/MASTER field
Selects the tempo source for the sequence.
If you select SEQ, the tempo specific to that sequence will be used.
If you select MASTER, the tempo currently displayed in the Tempo field will apply to all
sequences.
If you move the cursor to this field and press the [WINDOW] key, the Tempo Change
popup window will appear.
E Loop field
Turns looping on/off. If this field is on, pressing the [PLAY START] key will make the
sequence play back from the loop-start location.
F Loop region field
Specifies the loop region in measure units. Specify the loop-start at the left of the "–",
and the end of the loop region in the right field.
G Time signature field
Displays the time signature of the sequence. When you turn the [JOG] dial, the Change
Time Signature popup window will appear, allowing you to specify the time signature of
the sequence.
H Bars field
Modifies the number of measures in the sequence. When you turn the [JOG] dial, the
Change Bars popup window will appear, allowing you to specify the number of measures
in the sequence.
I A.PUNCH field
Turn auto punch-in/out on/off.
