Sequencer Data; The Sequencer And The Synthesizer - Yamaha V50 Authorized Product Manual

Sequencer data

The eight songs in V50 memory will not remain in me-
mory when the power is turned off.
After recording a song, remember to save it to disk before
turning the power off. Data you saved can be recalled
using the load function explained on page 105. Page 105
explains how to save, and page 105 explains how to load.

The sequencer and the synthesizer

The V50 sequencer and synthesizer are built into the same
unit, but are essentially independent. Please remember
the following points.
When using the sequencer to record key-
board playing
When you select the recording track in sequencer re-
cording mode, the keyboard transmit channel will au-
tomatically be changed to the transmit channel for that
sequence track. This eliminates having to set the key-
board transmit channel to match the receive channel
of the tone generator (single or performance) so as to
be able to hear the sound of the track being recorded.
However, when you move to synthesizer perform-
ance mode after recording in the sequencer, remember
that the keyboard transmit channel has been changed.
This may mean that playing the keyboard will not make
the synthesizer sound.
In this case, you can hold the [-] key, and press
the keyboard to the receive channel of the selected in-
strument.
Normally, the receive channel of the sequencer will be
set to "Kbd". This allows you to record sequence data
from the V50 keyboard. Unless you are using an external
keyboard to record sequencer data, leave it at this setting.
(Page 88 tells how to set the sequencer receive channel.)
When using an external keyboard to record data into
the V50 sequencer, set the sequencer receive channel to
match the MIDI transmit channel of the external key-
board.

When replaying a sequencer recording using
the synthesizer
There are three basic situations.
(1) Using performance mode to replay each track with
its own voice.
In this case, set the transmit channel of each se-
quencer track (each recorded track) to match the
receive channel of the instrument playing the voice
for that track.
(2) Using single play mode to replay all tracks using a
single sound.
In this case, set the transmit channels of all tracks
(each recorded track) to match the basic receive
channel of the synthesizer.
(3) While using single play mode to play one sound, play
the remaining tracks using external tone generator
modules or synthesizers.
In this case, set the transmit channel of each track
(each recorded track) to match the basic receive
channel of the synthesizer and the receive channels
of the external devices.
