Using the RPS Sequencer
The RPS sequencer (Realtime Phrase Sequencer) is an 8 track, built-in sequencer designed for live
performance. It allows you to record phrases consisting of various Samples that you trigger from the
keyboard. You can then assign a Start/Stop function of that phrase to any key on the keyboard. This can
be very useful for conserving memory on the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII by sequencing smaller Samples to play
f
or an extended time instead of creating long Samples.
NOTE: RPS is a 'Phrase' sequencer and does not contain any editing, syncing, or metronome
functions. If you need a sequencer with advanced editing capabilities we recommend using a Roland
MC-50 MKII sequencer or a computer based sequencing program.
Creating a Sequence
Load or create a Performance that has several Patches assigned to separate keys on the keyboard (see
"Creating a Performance" and "Setting the Split Range in a Performance" on pages 2-3). The
Performance contained on the DJ-70/DJ-70MKII Demo disk is a good example of this type of setup. Use
t
he following procedure to create an RPS sequence:
1) Press the RPS button to access the RPS Sequencer page. Play the keyboard to hear the Patches
contained in your Performance.
2) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "Rec KeyOn" and use the VALUE dial to select "ON" (if it is not
already selected).
3) Press the DOWN CURSOR button so that an arrow is displayed under "REC" for track 1.
4) Press REC (under SEQUENCER) so it is lit. The sequencer will start recording as soon as you play
the keyboard, press the pads, or move the scratch wheel. There will be a dot next the cursor arrow
indicating that you are recording. Press START/STOP (under SEQUENCER) when you are finished.
5) Press the START/STOP button again to hear the RPS sequence that you just recorded.
6) To record the next track, use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "Rec KeyOn" and use the VALUE dial
to select "ON" (if it is not already selected). Press the DOWN CURSOR button so the arrow next to
track 1 will move to track 2. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to record track 2.
7) Repeat these steps to record additional tracks (up to eight) as desired.
Creating a Volume
If you want to link your sequence with the correct sounds, you will need to create a Volume that contains
the Performance that you used. This is done in the Edit Performance mode. Use the following steps to
c
reate a Volume:
1) Press PERFORM to access the Perform Menu display.
2) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight "Edit Performance" and press S1.
3) Press F1 to access the "Performance Common" screen (if necessary).
4 ) Use the CURSOR buttons to highlight the Performance you used to create your RPS sequence.
NOTE: If the Performance that you used is not shown in the display, use the CURSOR buttons to
highlight a Performance name or "—empty—" and use the VALUE dial to select the correct
Performance.
