Outline of the Sequencer
A sequencer records your performance in a similar way to a tape recorder. This instrument’s SEQUENCER allows you to record
up to 10 performances in a variety of ways. You may want to record your entire performance in one go (especially if you are using
AUTO PLAY CHORD to provide the accompaniment), or to build up a complex arrangement with several different parts playing
together, like an orchestral score. This instrument’s SEQUENCER has 16 tracks. This means that you can record 16 different
parts. However, you don’t have to use all 16 tracks. For some uses you may only need to use one or two tracks. This instrument’s
SEQUENCER enables you to edit your recorded performance. Unlike a tape recorder you can change the sound or the tempo
during playback, or correct wrong notes or timing errors.
SEQUENCER features
You can change the tempo without chang-
ing the pitch
When you record your performance at a slow tempo and play
it back at a faster tempo, the pitch stays the same.
Consistent sound
Your performance is reproduced by a sound module as it
reads digital data. So, unlike a recorded tape, the sound
never deteriorates no matter how many times you play back
your performance.
Edit your recorded performance
Comprehensive editing functions allow you to modify your
recorded performance. Data can easily be erased, corrected
or copied, providing an especially convenient tool for creating
your original tunes.
Instant search
A recorded tape has to be rewound, but digital action means
you can return to the beginning of your performance, or find
any measure, instantly.
Save your performances on disks
All the data of your recorded performances can be stored on
disks. The built-in Disk Drive also allows you to play com-
mercially sold disks on your own Keyboard.
• Features and operation of the built-in Disk Drive are ex-
plained in Part VI: Disk Drive (page 94).
Popular features
Simplified recording method
EASY RECORD is a feature that allows you to bypass the
more complex recording procedures so you can record and
play back your performance quickly and easily.
• You can also record an accompaniment from the AUTO
PLAY CHORD.
Create a one-man ensemble
Use the REALTIME RECORD function to record your per-
formance in up to 16 tracks and create your own orchestra
or band.
Store individual data to create your song
For repeating patterns or those especially complicated
phrases, the STEP RECORD feature is convenient for re-
cording the notes one-by-one.
• This method can be used to store both the chord progres-
sion for the automatic accompaniment and the rhythm
changes.
Memory capacity
Up to 10 songs can be stored in the SEQUENCER. Expressed
in terms of notes, the total number of notes which can be
stored in all the SEQUENCER songs and tracks is about
40,000. The remaining memory available for recording is
shown on the display as a percentage (MEMORY= %).
• When “Memory full!” appears on the display, no more data
can be stored in the SEQUENCER.
• The recorded contents can be saved on a disk for recall at
a later time. (Refer to page 99.)
