Introduction
We'd like to take a moment to thank you for purchasing the
Rodgers PR-300 Digital Sequencer and Sound Module.
About this Manual
If this is the first time you have used the PR-300, please be sure
to read "Listening to a Song on Disk" thoroughly. It contains
information on how to listen to the songs recorded on the demo
disk and and make use of some of the PR-300's convenient
features.
PR-300
Features
Easy
to Use
The sequencer is set up to operate like a regular tape recorder.
This makes recording and playback easy.
Five Track Sequencer
You can record and playback using any of five sequencer tracks.
GS Sound Source
The PR-300 has a built-in sound source that conforms to the new
GS Format. Essentially what this means is that different sound
sources (keyboards or sound modules) that conform to the
OS
Format will all play the same song data in the same way and
respond to the same MIDI messages in a uniform manner.
5
The PR-300 features an easy-to-use 5-track sequencer for
recording and playback, as well as a 16-part multi-timbral GS
sound source. The PR-300 was specifically designed for use
with Rodgers organs and keyboards, although it can be used
successfully with many different MIDI devices.
This section is followed "Sequencing with the PR-300" which
shows you how to record your own songs. Everything from easy
"single-pass" recording to more advanced "multi-track"
recording is covered.
The last section of this manual gives descriptions of all
remaining PR-300 features and supplies technical information
about the PR-300 and MIDI.
When used by itself, the
as
Sound Source can supply up to 16
different parts; 15 of which can use any of the 317 high-quality
instrumental sounds in the PR-300, one of which can use any of
the 10 different drum sets. When used with a Rodgers organ, the
PR-300 can supply up
to
9 instrumental parts and one drum part.
Convenient Editing Features
It's also easy to put the finishing touches on the songs you have
recorded with the PR-300's Cut, Paste, Quantize and Punch
In/Out features.
Plays Standard MIDI Files, Too
You can also play Standard MIDI Files that have been written
for use with GS or General MIDI sound sources. This means
your PR-300 can make use of a wide variety of music data
available.
