Using the step sequencer

The opsix module has a polyphonic sequencer that features up to 16 steps.
Sequence data for the step sequencer can be saved in each program. In
addition to note data, you can also record and play back motion sequences
(these are changes made to the sound using the knobs or sliders on the opsix
module).

Playback and recording on the step sequencer

Here we will play back the sequence data recorded for each program.
1.
Press the PLAY button [20].
The sequence data recorded for the currently selected program will play.
2.
Press the REC button [21] when you want to record what you play using
the buttons (while the note trigger function is on) or with a keyboard
that's connected to this unit via a MIDI cable or other means.
The REC button [21] will light up, and all notes that you play afterwards
will be recorded as sequence data. Press the REC button again to finish
recording.
3.
To stop sequence data playback, press the PLAY button again.
NOTE: Any data you record will be lost if you turn off the power on the
opsix module or select a different program before saving the data.

automatically advances.
Press one of the STEP 1–16 buttons while holding down a key to record
a tie. The tie will connect the note to the step you pressed.

will automatically end (the REC button will go dark).
Press the REC button during recording to stop recording midway.
6.
After you have finished recording, save the program.

location.
