START/STOP Button
Pressing this button enables or
disables the Sequencer. This is a
programmable parameter that is
saved with each Program and
with each Mix Channel
separately. So, you can have the
sequencer enabled for a program
in Mix Mode and disabled for
that program in Program Mode.
Remember, the sequence will
not start until it receives a
trigger, normally the keyboard.
SYNC/MOD Button
Pressing this button displays the
Sequencer’s
MOD page on the
screen. The Sync/Mod page of
parameters allows you to
modulate the tempo of the sequence. The Sync/Mod parameters table that describes
their functions can be found on page 78.
VIEW Button
Pressing this button recalls the page of Sequencer parameters that was last used (it defaults to the
GRAPH page). Using this button to enter the Sequencer edit mode allows you to examine the
current settings without making any changes. You can, of course, change any setting but you
don’t have to when using a
VIEW button
