Playing and recording of musical sequences (Sequencer)

PLAYING AND RECORDING OF MUSICAL SEQUENCES
(SEQUENCER)
The Cantorum Trio – Duo Plus is equipped with an internal sequencer (digital
recorder) capable of recording performances on the instrument, the commands
and controls used and MIDI data received through the MIDI [IN] port. Recordings
can then be saved on the USB stick or in the internal memory as MIDI files
(Standard MIDI file, format 1, 125 beats per minute, 384 ticks per quarter note)
and played back at any time. Song lists can also be played.
To recall the sequencer press the [SONG] button under the display.
The SEQUENCER menu contains the following functions:
Mode Description
Playing back of the songs or song lists saved in the internal memory or the USB flash drive.
Play
Record Recording performances.
Song List Programming lists of songs.
Options for playing back songs.
Play Options
Deleting songs or songs lists.
Delete
Copy Copying songs or songs lists from/to internal memory and USB flash drive.
NOTE
This function is available only when a USB flash drive is inserted.
The memory unit currently used appears in the bottom of the screen. Remember that the USB stick has priority
over the internal memory; to use the latter, first remove the USB stick.
NOTES
- Once the USB flash drive is inserted please wait some seconds before recalling the sequencer. In case
of failed recognition, press [EXIT] to leave the sequencer, then re-enter.
- If using a USB flash drive, remember to format it with FAT or FAT32 (no NTFS) file system.
If using a USB flash drive, the system will use and save the recordings as .MID file in the "v_songs" directory.
-
Please pay attention not to delete or rename this folder to avoid losing or making unusable the recordings.
- Transposition set in the TUNING menu does not have any effect on playback of songs (unlike recording,
where the notes are acquired transposed). To do this you have to set the transposer described at page 44.
