Changing Presets While The Poly Sequencer Is Running; Programming The Polyphonic Sequencer - Sequential Prophet Rev 2 User Manual

All factory programs have a sequence associated with them. Recall a program
and press the sequencer's button to hear its associated sequence.
play
An audio signal connected to the rear-panel
control sequencer playback. This makes it possible to tempo sync the sequencer (or
arpeggiator) to a recorded drum track or other audio source. Audio signals used to
drive the arpeggiator/sequencer should not exceed 5 volts peak-to-peak. See "Seq
Pedal Mode" on page 18 for more information about choosing the appropriate mode
for these behaviors.

Changing Presets While the Poly Sequencer is Running

If you change programs while the polyphonic sequencer is running, the
sequencer will continue playing, but will switch to the sequence asso-
ciated with the new program. This conveniently allows you to scroll
through programs and listen to their sequences without having to press
to restart sequencer playback with each program change.
play
It's important to note that if you switch to a dual layer program (i.e. a
program with Stack or Split engaged) while the sequencer running, the
sequencer automatically starts/plays the sequences on both layers of the
program.
If you switch to a program with Split enabled, and you want to stop
polyphonic sequencer playback, press the sequencer's
off each layer individually. Alternatively, press and hold the
button until it blinks, then press the sequencer's
b
stop playback on both layers.
If you stop sequencer playback on a program that has the Gated
sequencer or arpeggiator enabled, and you stop sequencer playback
(which will also stop the arpeggiator or gated sequencer), you can return
to the original state of the program (i.e. arpeggiator/gated sequencer on)
by switching momentarily to a different sound and then back again.

sharp attack and short release.
To program a note sequence:
1. Press the button.
record
2. Perform the sequence on the keyboard. The display indicates the
current step, note, and velocity as you play.
When recording a chord as a step, as long as you continue to hold at least one
note down, you can keep adding notes to the chord/step, and even use the
buttons to extend the keyboard range while doing it.
3. To add a rest as you play, press the sequencer's
step, then continue playing. To add multiple rests, press the
button once for each rest that you want to add.
4. To add a tie that extends the length of a note, play the note or chords,
then press the sequencer's
destination
note the number of steps you want.
5. To step back in the sequence, turn the sequencer's
counterclockwise. This will allow you to step backward to the desired
step so that you can rerecord it.
6. When you're done, press

7. To save the sequence, save the program and they are saved together.
