sure from which the song will begin playback.

LOCATE, or
This area displays the song name you assigned
(refer to Song Name).
Used (0...100%): This displays the amount of
sequencer memory already used. Since recording
and editing operations require some memory for
processing, it may not always be possible to
continue recording until this displays 100%.
Quantize (off, 1/32, 1/24, 1/16, 1/12, 1/8, 1/4,
1/2): This determines the timing accuracy to
which the notes you play will be corrected.
When quantization is turned off the notes you
play will be recorded at the exact timing they
occur. When a quantization of 1/32... 1/2 is
selected, all notes you play will be moved to the
nearest timing at the specified interval.
Receive Channel (1-16, omni, kbd): This deter-
mines the channel that will be recorded by the
sequencer.
1-16: The sequencer will record only the data
received on the specified channel from MIDI
IN.
omni: The sequencer will record all data of any
channel from MIDI IN.
kbd: The sequencer will record the notes
played on the SY77 keyboard, regardless of
the Kbd Transmit channel setting.
Click (off, rec, rec/play, always): This deter-
mines when the click (metronome) will sound.
off: The metronome will not sound.
rec: The metronome will sound only during
recording.
rec/play: The metronome will sound during
recording or playback.
always: The metronome will sound constantly,
Click Beat (1/4, 1/6, 1/8, 1/12, 1/16, 1/24): This
determines the beat on which the click will
sound.
Sync (internal, MIDI): This determines the tim-
ing source which will control the sequencer.
Normally you will leave this set to internal so
that the SY77's own clock will determine the
tempo.
