The Relationship Between Sequences and Phrases
The sequence tempo can be changed in the Rhythm Guide setting screen or Tempo
Map screen.When the tempo is slowed down, the interval during which the phrase
sounds is lengthened. Conversely, increasing the tempo makes the interval
shorter.However, in either case, you cannot change the performance tempo of the
phrases (the tempo when the phrase is audio-recorded) themselves.

How recording works
Phrases on Sequence are recorded as described below.
Play the sample selected for recording:
1. From which measure, beat, and tick where the change to begin;
2. Start from the position ✽✽✽✽ units from the beginning of the sample; and....
3. For ✽ beats and ✽ ticks then mute the sample.
The data in 1-3 sets the phrase represented by the outlined rectangle displayed in
the Play List screen.
Depending on the precess at the recording, the data of item 1 and 3 are set.
In the case of recording the phrases on the song by pressing the pad, the sample’s
start point (p. 78) is reflected to the data number which skip play the sample songs
from the beginning in 2. This value can be changed with the Adjust Timing function
(p. 104).
Depending on the actual sampling time or other factors, the length of time of a
sample on the PAD is determined. In case the loop mode (p. 73) of sample is turned
off the stops upon recording the edit point, before the end point determined in 3
even if the apparent play length of 3 above is expanded with tempo down. Thus, the
sound may stop even when the apparent phrase (the outlined rectangle) is indicated
in the Sequence Play List screen.
