Getting Started with the Sequencer
12-9
Remember that by default there is a four-beat count off, during which time the Locat
value is preceded by a minus sign (-). No material is recorded during the count off, though
anything you play during the countoff gets quantized to the first Beat of the song. As you
are recording the bass track, your drum loop will keep playing. Play for as long as you
want; the sequencer will lengthen the song as needed.
7. Press the Stop soft button when you are done recording the bass.
You will be given the usual save options. To keep what you’ve just recorded, press the Yes
soft button followed by the Replace soft button.
Since you unlooped the drum track when you recorded the bass, you’ve changed the
endpoint of the song to be wherever you stopped the bass track. You can check the
endpoint (and change it, too, if you want) using the Event Editor, as described earlier.
Record the Remaining Instruments in Your Song
Now that you’ve defined your song with the bass and drum tracks, you can put the organ and
lead (or whatever instruments you’ve chosen) into your song.
1. Set the recording track (RecTrk) on the MAIN page to Track 3.
Notice the small squares above the track status indicators for Tracks 1 and 2, reminding
you that you’ve now got material on two tracks.

2. Press the MISC soft button to bring up the MISC page.
3. Set RecMode to FixLen.
Since you’ve defined the length of your song with the bass track, setting RecMode to
FixLen means that the song will play through only once each time you record a new part.
4. Record the organ in the same way that you recorded the bass track in the previous section.
Notice that you can do this from the MISC page, without returning to the MAIN page.
5. Continue recording instruments until you have played all the parts of your song.
