Part III Sequencer

Outline of the Sequencer

A sequencer records your performance in a similar way to a tape recorder. This instrument's
SEQUENCER allows you to record up to 10 performances in a variety of ways. You may want to record
your entire performance in one go (especially if you are using AUTO PLAY CHORD to provide the
accompaniment), or to build up a complex arrangement with several different parts playing together, like
an orchestral score. This instrument's SEQUENCER has 16 tracks. This means that you can record 16
different parts. However, you don't have to use all 16 tracks. For some uses you may only need to use
one or two tracks. This instrument's SEQUENCER enables you to edit your recorded performance. Unlike
a tape recorder you can change the sound or the tempo during playback, or correct wrong notes or timing
errors.
SEQUENCER features
You can change the tempo without
changing the pitch
When you record your performance at a slow
tempo and play it back at a faster tempo, the
pitch stays the same.
Consistent sound
Your performance is reproduced by a sound
module as it reads digital data. So, unlike a
recorded tape, the sound never deteriorates no
matter how many times you play back your per-
formance.
Edit your recorded performance
Comprehensive editing functions allow you to
modify your recorded performance. Data can
easily be erased, corrected or copied, providing
an especially convenient tool for creating your
original tunes.
Instant search
A recorded tape has to be rewound, but digital
action means you can return to the beginning of
your performance, or find any measure, instantly.
