Sequencer Overview
The NAUTILUS contains a sophisticated sequencer that
integrates a 16-track MIDI sequencer with a 16-track
internal drive recorder.
The sixteen MIDI tracks and the master track (which
contains tempo data, etc.) allow you to record and play back
MIDI data for the internal tone generator or for external
sound modules, and the sixteen audio tracks allow you to
record and play back audio signals on the internal drive
recorder in synchronization with the MIDI tracks. You can
use the audio tracks to record external audio sources such as
guitar or vocals as well as the sound produced by the internal
tone generator. You can also automate parameters such as
volume and pan.
The In-Track Sampling function, Time Stretch/Slice
function, Arpeggiator function, the sophisticated effects,
controllers, and the numerous other functions of the
NAUTILUS can be used together to give you a wide range
of possibilities for music production or live performance.
Template Songs
Template Songs store pretty much everything in the Song
except for the MIDI and audio data itself. This includes
Program selections, track parameters, effects and
Arpeggiator settings, and the Song's name and tempo.
MIDI sequencer
• The sequencer lets you record a maximum of 400,000
MIDI events (or 300,000 audio events), up to 200 songs,
and as many as 999 measures per song.
• Timing resolution is a maximum of /480.
• There are sixteen tracks for MIDI performance data, and
a master track that controls the time signature and tempo.
• Arpeggiator can be used during playback or recording.
• The RPPR (Realtime Pattern Play/Recording) function
can be used during playback or recording.
• Eighteen different Template Songs are built-in, and
contain program and effect settings suitable for various
musical styles. You can create up to sixteen original
templates, and save them as user Template Songs.
• A track play loop function lets you loop specified
measures independently for each track.
• A large number of preset patterns ideal for drum tracks
are built in. In addition, you can create up to 100 user
patterns for each song. These patterns can be used as
musical data within a song, or can be played by the
RPPR function.
SEQUENCER mode
The factory preset Template Songs let you get up and
running quickly with matched sets of sounds and effects for
various styles of music. You can also create your own
Template Songs with your favorite sounds and setups.
Note that Template Songs do not include the MIDI data for
song tracks and patterns, audio data, or settings that govern
how the musical data is played back, including Meter,
Metronome, PLAY/MUTE, and Track Play Loop
(including Start/End measure).
While loading a Template Song, you can also optionally load
one or more Drum Track patterns.
For more information, please see "Template Songs" on
page 76 of the OG.
Important notes about SEQUENCER
mode
To save the program, track parameters, effects,
arpeggiator function settings and so on that are selected in
the song as a template song, use the "Save Template
Song" page menu command.
When you create audio tracks, we recommend that you
save them on the internal drive, since audio tracks can be
recorded and played back only on the internal drive.
To record audio tracks, MIDI Clock must be set to
Internal. For more information, see "MIDI Clock (MIDI
Clock Source)" on page 651.
MIDI recording features
• Various methods of recording are supported, including
realtime recording in which your performance on the
keyboard and controllers (including MIDI control
events) is recorded just as you play, and step recording in
which the timing, length, and velocity of each note can
be specified in the LCD as you input the pitches from the
keyboard.
• The musical data and control events that you recorded
can be edited in various ways (including event editing
and many other edit commands).
• MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) messages can be
recorded and played back. SysEx messages received
from an external MIDI device or parameter changes
produced by editing track parameters or effect
parameters can be recorded in real-time on any desired
track.
