Playing and recording of musical sequences (Sequencer)
The functions displayed allow:
▪
Save: saving of the recording as a MIDI file.
▪
Play: playback of the recoding before saving it.
▪
Overdub: creation of a new recording to be added to the sequence just
acquired.
▪
Discard and Exit: delete the recording and quit sequencer Record mode.
If the SAVE field is selected, the system prompts the user to assign a name to the
MIDI sequence about to be saved. When composing the name, use the [ ] and [ ] buttons to move the cursor
and [+] and [-] to select the character. The first three characters can only be numbers, since they are required for
future expansions of the instrument.
To confirm the name and proceed to save the data, press the [MENU/ENTER] button; use [EXIT] to return to the
previous screen, aborting the saving operation.
The "SONG SAVED" message confirms that the recording has been saved.
If [EXIT] is pressed while in the save screen (i.e. when the recording has been acquired but not saved), the system
warns that the recording is about to be lost with the message "DISCARD SEQUENCE TAKE?" and that
[MENU/ENTER] must be pressed to confirm that you wish to quit and delete the data acquired, or [EXIT] to return
to the save screen.
NOTE
If you wish to rename .MID files saved to the USB stick using a computer, always make sure that the names
names can be a maximum of 12 characters (including those before the "_") and cannot contain special
characters such as "_", "@", "#", etc. In add of this please pay attention to do not delete the first three
characters and the "_".
Overdubbing a song (OVERDUB mode)
The internal sequencer record, play, but also overdub already recorded MIDI tracks. It can be done:
-
selecting a MIDI file from the current memory unit, from the RECORD function;
-
at the end of a recording session, accessing the OVERDUB function.
The system will ask whether to substitute the settings (stops, coupling, tremulant, MIDI controls, general controls)
recorded in the track with the ones currently selected. Then the system will ask the same question, this time
regarding the divisional volumes and expression pedals.
In both cases, press [MENU/ENTER] to use the new settings or [EXIT] to leave them as they are.
Now the sequencer is ready to overdub. The screen carries information about the functions of the buttons:
▪
[MENU/ENTER]: starts recording.
▪
[EXIT]: quits the Overdub mode.
▪
[-] (press once): slow down play / recording speed. It can be seen on top left
as percentage (BPM=100 in the picture on the right).
▪
[+] (press once): increase play / recording speed. It can be seen on top left as
percentage (BPM=100 in the picture on the right).
▪
[-] (press and hold): rewind.
▪
[+] (press and hold): fast forward.
As the recording begins, the controls change again:
▪
[MENU/ENTER]: pause / re-start recording.
▪
[EXIT]: stop recording.
[+] and [-] maintain the functions described above.
Note that when the original piece ends, the overdubbing does not stop. To warn
you of this, the advancement bar changes as showed by the screen at right.
