Creating songs (Sequencer mode)
Use the  buttons to select a program. The
method is the same as when assigning a program to
each timbre in a combination (p. 27).
Note: You can copy settings from a combination or
program (PG p. 50, PG p. 51).
2. In the same way, use the function 01–16 buttons to
select other tracks, and use the  buttons to
specify a program for those tracks.
Set the parameters of each track, using the function
01–16 buttons to switch tracks.
3. Use "Volume" to specify the volume of each track.
4. Use "Pan" to specify the pan of each track.
5. Use "Status" to specify the sound source that each
track will play.
If you're using the internal sound generator as a 16‐
track multitimbral sound module, you'll normally
choose INT or BTH.
For details on these settings, refer to the parameter
guide (PG p. 38 "Status").
6. Use "MIDI Ch." to specify the MIDI channel of
each track.
Normally you'll use "MIDI Ch." to specify a
different channel 1–16 for each track. Tracks for
which you've specified the same MIDI channel will
sound simultaneously when you record or play
back any of those tracks.
7. Use "Bus" to specify the output bus for each track.
(p. 49 "Effect settings for a combination or song")
8. Adjust effect settings.
Adjust settings for each of the IFX1–IFX5, MFX1,
MFX2, and TFX effects.
(p. 49 "Effect settings for a combination or song")
9. Adjust other settings as necessary.
You can adjust settings such as arpeggiator (ARP),
MIDI filter (MIDI Filter), key zone (Key Zone), and
velocity zone (Vel Zone).
(PG p. 23 "Arpeggiator settings in Combination
and Sequencer modes")

Saving the song setting parameters
The "song setting parameters" you edit here can be
saved as a template.
If you use these settings frequently, you can save them
as a template and then load them when necessary
(PG p. 48 "Save Template").

appropriate settings for the desired style of music.
