Sequential
To record a paraphonic sequence:
1. Set all three oscillators to the same level in the mixer. You will prob-
ably want to set them to the same octave as well.
2. Press the paraphonic button to enable paraphonic mode. The Sequencer
menu appears in the display.
3. Press Soft Button 2 to select the seq params menu.
4. Turn Soft Knob 4 (para seq) and choose on. Paraphonic sequencing is
now enabled.
5. Press the record button and play a series of notes and chords on the
keyboard. You can play up to 3-note chords. The numbered step LEDs
indicate your current step location.
6. When you’re done inputting notes, press play. Your sequence plays
back. To stop playback, press play again.
7. To save the sequence, save the program by pressing the write button
twice.
Adding Rests, Ties, and Velocity
When recording note sequences using the keyboard, the Sequencer
assigns each note that you play (along with its velocity) to successive
steps in the sequence. However, you may want to add rests, ties, and
additional velocity changes for greater rhythmic variation.
Adding Rests
Rests turn off notes. You can add rests as you record a sequence in real
time, or you can add them after you’ve nished recording.
To add rests in real time as you record:
1. Press the record button and play a series of notes.
2. When you reach a step where you want to add a rest, press that step
LED/button. The step becomes a rest.
3. If you want to add several rests in a row, press the step LED/button
where you want the rest to end.
4. Continue playing notes as desired to complete the sequence.
