SEQUENCER MODULE

RECORD, PLAY and STOP

You can think of these three switches as the “tape recorder controls” since they act very

similarly to the equivalent controls on a multi-track tape recorder.

Record

To record a Sequence, first press RECORD to put the Sequencer in “record ready”

mode. Then, press PLAY to begin recording. If you programmed a countdown

(SEQUENCER SETUP 6), the number of beats you programmed will elapse before

recording begins. Note that unlike a tape recorder, you do not need to hold down

RECORD as you press PLAY.

Two cautions: A Sequence must play through to the end for a track to be recorded; if you

stop a Sequence while it’s recording by pressing STOP, what you just played will not be

recorded. Also, note that upon pressing RECORD and PLAY any existing note data on

the track will be erased.

Playback

To play back a Sequence, press PLAY. If you programmed a countdown (SEQUENCER

SETUP 6), the number of beats you programmed will elapse before playback begins. If

you programmed an External Clock input (SEQUENCER EXT CLK), the Play LED will

flash until the External Clock signal appears.

There are two ways to stop a Sequence from playing. To stop playback at the end of the

Sequence, press STOP once. To stop playback immediately, press STOP twice.

Stop

In addition to performing the functions described above, pressing STOP also determines

the end of the Sequence under the circumstances described in SEQUENCER DEFINE 3

(Sequencer Length).
