To program a sequence:
1. Press the record button.
2. Perform the sequence on the keyboard. The display indicates the
current step, note, and velocity as you play. You can also use the
display to create/edit the sequence step-by-step.
When recording a chord as a step, as long as you continue to hold at least one
note down, you can keep adding notes to the chord/step, and even use the transpose
buttons to extend the keyboard range while doing it.
3. To add a tie that extends the length of a note, play the note or chord,
then press Soft Key 1 (tie) to extend the note the number of steps you
want. Each time you press Soft Key 1, you will extend the tie by an
additional step. You can then continue playing.
4. To add a rest after a note or chord, press Soft Key 2 (rest). Each time
you press Soft Key 2, you will extend the rest by an additional step.
You can then continue playing
5. To step back in the sequence, turn Soft Knob 2 (step) counterclock-
wise. This will allow you to step backward to the desired step so that
you can rerecord it manually. You can also use the parameters shown in
the display to edit the sequence step-by-step.
6. When you’re done, press play to listen to your sequence.
7. If you want to edit the sequence after you’ve recorded it, you can use
the parameters shown in the display to edit the sequence step-by-step.
8. To save the sequence, save the program and they are saved together.
(See “Saving a Program” on page 7.)
