3. Sequencer mode
In Sequencer mode you can use the built-in 16-track
sequencer to play, record, and edit songs. You can also
arrange multiple songs in the Cue List and play them back
in succession.
Here you can also record and edit patterns, copy a created
pattern or preset pattern into a song, or use patterns from
the RPPR (Realtime Pattern Play Recording) function.
Both songs and patterns can be recorded while using the
arpeggiator.
Executing the Sampling mode “Time Slice” command (Sam-
pling P2: 2–1B) will divide the sample and will at the same
time create song performance data for these divided sam-
ples. You can then freely re-create the original rhythm loop
in various ways; for example you can change the song
tempo in Sequencer mode to play the rhythm loop at a dif-
ferent tempo without changing the pitch, or you can edit the
sequence data to change the note numbers or timing.
In addition, while the song plays back, you can play the key-
board or input an external audio source (e.g., vocal or gui-
tar) from AUDIO INPUT etc. and sample it to automatically
capture audio data to go with your sequencer song. In other
words, you can create audio tracks while running the
sequencer, just as if you were using a recorder. (the In-Track
Sampling function)
You can also sample performances produced by playing
songs, patterns, cue lists, the arpeggiator, or RPPR.
Furthermore, a song you create can be resampled to the
internal hard disk, and then, using the included CDRW-1
option etc., written to a CD in Disk mode to produce an
audio CD. (☞BG p.118)
These settings and any song data that you have
recorded will not be backed up when the power is
turned off. Before turning off the power, be sure to save
important data on a floppy disk, hard disk, CD-R/RW,
external SCSI device, or a data filer. Immediately after
the power is turned on, memory will not contain any
song data, so in order to playback the sequencer, you
will need to load data from the floppy disk etc., or
receive a MIDI bulk data dump from an external MIDI
sequencer (☞p.144).
0–1: Prog. 1–8 (Program T01–08)
0–2: Prog. 9–16 (Program T09–16)
Here you can make basic settings for recording and playing
back songs, and can select the program that will be used by
each track.

Location [001:01.000…999:16.191]
This display shows the current position in the song.
From the left, the numbers are the measure, beat, and clock.
When you modify these values, the current location will
change.
When “MIDI Clock” (Global P1:1–1a) is set to Internal,
changing the location will cause Song Position Pointer
messages to be transmitted. Also if the “MIDI Clock”
parameter is set to External MIDI or External mLAN,
and “Receive Ext. Realtime Command” (Global P1: 1–
1a) is on, the location will change if a Song Position
Pointer message is received from the specified source.
The range in which the beat and clock can be modified
will depend on the currently specified time signature.
Meter [**/**, 1/4…16/16]
This is the time signature at the current location of the song.
The time signature can be changed at each measure.
**/**: This will be displayed when you press the
SEQUENCER [REC/WRITE] key. Specify this when you
wish to use the time signature that is already recorded for
that measure, and wish to record without changing the time
signature.
1/4–16/4, 1/8–16/8, 1/16–16/16: This is the time signature at
the current location of the song.
After pressing the SEQUENCER [REC/WRITE] key, specify
the time signature here. Then press the SEQUENCER
[START/STOP] key to begin recording, and the specified
time signature will be recorded on the Master Track and on
previously-recorded tracks. Be aware that if you press the
SEQUENCER [START/STOP] key during the pre-count to
stop recording, the time signature will not be recorded.
Normally, you will specify the time signature when you
record the first track, and select **/** when recording subse-
quent tracks.
