Sequencing The First Part - Rodgers PR-300 Owner's Manual

Please note that, if you intend to play any of the
PR-300 sounds live (or "real-time") while the
sequence is playing back, then the MIDI channels
needed for the instruments played live cannot be used
within the sequence.
For instance, if you wanted to play Orchestral
Strings live on channels 1, 2 and 3 (MIDI on Great,
MIDI on Swell and MIDI on Pedal, respectively),
then channels 1,2 and 3 couldn't
be
used in the Multi-
Track Sequence.
Once the necessary instruments and MIDI
channels have been determined, we can begin
inputting the parts. For this example, MIDI channels
I through 5 will be used.
We will use MIDI channels 1-5 to control PR-300 sounds.
The MIDI ON GREAT coupler (or MIDI GREAT A on 945
consoles) will be used to record all PR-300 sounds as it can send
on any of the 16 MIDI channels.
Sequencing the First Part
We will begin by sequencing the first part. which.
in this example. is the soprano line of a popular
hymn.
Before sequencing a new song. however. we need
to make sure the PR-300 is ready to accept a new
song:
Part 1 (PR-300 Instrument on channel 1)
Part 2 (PR-300 Instrument on channel 2)
Part 3 (PR-300 Instrument on channel 3)
Part 4 (PR-300 Instrument on channel 4)
Part S (PR-300 Instrument on channelS)
(1) If not already selected, press [SONG] and rotate
alpha-dial so that "NEW SONG" is listed in the
display.
This clears any song information which may still be
in the PR-300's memory.

If there is an unsaved performance in the PR-300's
memory. then it will ask you if it is okay to erase
the song data. An unsaved performance is
designated with an asterisk ("*") to the left of the
song name (NEW SONG in this case).
If you would like to save the song data. press
[STOP] and save performance (see "Saving a
Sequence to Disk").

If necessary, press [SONG] and rotate the alpha-
