Recording and Playing Back Phrases
The Phrase Sequencer is a great way to record musical
phrases that suddenly pop into your mind for later playback.
• The Sequencer has 100 preset phrases.
• You can record a new phrase or overdub onto an existing
phrase to create a user phrase. There is memory for
storage of up to 100 user phrases for later recall when you
need them.
• In addition to what you play on the keyboard, your pedal,
wheel, and knob operations are also recorded as part of
phrase.
• You can choose either of two different playback options:
one-time playback (loop off) or repeat playback (loop on).
• Overdubbing during looped playback is supported. You
also can temporarily cancel overdubbing and perform
looped playback only.
• Pressing a keyboard key will start playback of the phrase
from the corresponding pitch (Key Play).
