How the sequencer operates
A sequencer is an electronic musical device that records and
plays back performance data, meaning the note you play,
how long it is held (gate time) and velocity with which you
play, and various controller functions. The TD-10 contains a
built-in sequencer with 50 preset patterns containing pre-
programmed musical data. You can also create your own
patterns.

During playback, data recorded in the sequencer is transmit-
ted to the sound module and played. As shown in the dia-
gram above, each track is transmitted to the respective part;
track 1 plays part 1 and track 2 plays part 2, and so forth.
During recording, the performance information from the
pads or MIDI keyboard is transmitted to the sequencer, and
the data is then transmitted to the sound module for play-
back.
A percussion group allows 60 types of instrument to be
played via MIDI in addition to all the instruments of the
drum kit. You can use instruments of the percussion group
when using an external MIDI controller or keyboard to
record on to the drum track.
