Getting Started with the Sequencer

NOTE: The sequencer will truncate to the nearest downbeat, so as long as you press Stop before Locat
reads "5:2" (but after it reads 4:4) you'll be alright. Don't worry about this too much, though, since in the
next step we'll show you how to check (and change, if necessary) the endpoint.

Set RecTrk to "1" then press the Record soft button. The Song Status indicator (top right
hand corner of the display) flashes "REC READY".

Press the Play soft button. The Song Status indicator now reads "RECORDING".
The K2500's built-in metronome will begin clicking, and the Song mode LED will also
flash at the current tempo.
Notice the "Locat" parameter on the right side of the display, which shows the current
measure and beat number. When you begin recording, the K2500 will provide you with a
four beat count-off, during which time Locat's measure and beat number will be preceded
by a minus sign.
Since we are recording four measures of silence, press the Stop soft button as soon as Locat
reads "4:4".
When you press Stop, you'll be asked to confirm and name this song. Even though we've
just recorded four measures of silence, when you save it and give it a name it's officially a
song.
For the purposes of this example, we'll assume that you pressed Stop a few beats too late.
You'll see how easy it is to correct this sort of thing in the Event Editor.
On the Song mode MAIN page, make sure that the cursor is highlighting any field
other than the Program field, then press the EDIT button.
If the Program field is highlighted when you press EDIT, you'll enter the Program Editor,
which is not what you want to do right now. The EditSong: COMMON page appears:
