5.5 Music sequencer
The EG2280USB/EG8280USB provides a built-in 2-track sequencer which allows
you to record and play back a piece of music . For each of the two tracks you can
select one or two sounds for recording. This means that the music sequencer can
play back up to four sounds at the same time. While playing back a music piece
you can also play on the keyboard to produce complex performances with up to
six different sounds.
What is more, you can use the music sequencer for practicing. For example,
you could record the left and right-hand parts of a piece separately on the two
tracks. During playback, switch off one track (=hand) and play the muted part
yourself. Thus, you can practice each part individually within its musical context.
5.5.1 Recording pieces of music
This section describes how to record music pieces with the built-in
music sequencer.
1) Press the REC button. The REC LED above the TRACK-1 or TRACK-2 button
lights up. The dots in the display start flashing in the adjusted metronome
tempo, thus indicating the beat. Now, the EG2280USB/EG8280USB is set to
record mode.
◊
The memory of the music sequencer can store up to 10,000 notes.
However, this number can decrease depending on how much pedaling
information is stored.
◊
You can quit record mode by pressing the REC button again.
2) If necessary, adjust the metronome tempo and meter as described in
chapter 5.4.
