Sequencer

To transpose a sequence:

1. Press play. The sequence begins playback.

2. Press and hold

record and press a key on the keyboard. “Middle C”

is the reference point. Playing a note above middle C transposes the

sequence higher by that interval. Playing a note below middle C trans-

poses the sequence lower by that interval.
