A sequencer is
a
device which uses computer
hardware and software to record and playback
performances. However, there is a fundamental
difference between the way that
a
sequencer records a
performance and the way a tape player records a
performance.
A tape player records the actual sound which
occurs and then allows you to play back a copy of
those sounds.
A sequencer records the MIDI information which
occurs, such as what notes were played and in what
order (or sequence), how long each note was held,
how hard each note was played, how each expression
pedal was set (and moved), what sounds were used,

PR-300S can lise its internal sound source (or the
sound sources in external
MIDI
devices) to create
MIDI data.
