6 -- SEQUENCER MODE
Since an 8-track sequencer is installed in the MIR,
you
can easily
create
your own
songs
complete
1
with multi-
timbral instrumentation by
specifying
the Program that
will
be used on each track
and
by
record
in
g
play data
from an external MIDI keyboard.
*
*
*
*
In
this mode
songs (play
data) can be recorded, played back and edited; moreover, other
song
parameters
(such as
effect settings to be used for playback) can be
edited.
In
this mode the memory is edited directly.
The
Program
used
when playing the keyboard for recording
is
the
Program
that will
be
assigned
to
the
current track of
the
selected
song.
The
amount of data that can be memorized is limited
as
to the total number
of songs,
patterns
and steps
(music
notes).

play data together with
related parameters

less

as
a "song.

1
Program
(I
sound
color) can be assigned to 1
track.
It
is possible to
change each
track
's
Program
in the middle
of the song
.
Each track can store play data of up to 250 measures.
1
song can consist of
up
to 8 tracks.
10
songs,
numbered from 0 to 9
,
can be
created.
The Ml 's internal sound source
can
provide a maximum
of
16
oscillators for
use in
all
the
tracks
combined.
In the Sequencer Mode the effect
setting
of
each
program is
ignored an
d
the effect
setting
within the
song parameter is active
.
Each
track of
a
song
can
be
made
in
the
3 following ways:
( 1) Real
time
rec ording
This is the most basic method in
that
the data played by keys is directly memorized. The real time recording
page
is
selected by default when the
SEQUENCER
Mode is called up.
(2) Step recording
This
is
a
recording
method that specifies, step by
step,
the
length and
velocity
(volume) of
each
note
by
numeric
value,
and
the
pitch by
key.
(3) Pattern method
