Sequencer Functions
The EX5, EX5R, and EX7 have three separate sequencing functions suited to different purposes:
● The Song Mode
The EX Song Sequencer is a full-featured 16-track sequencer complete with real-time play effects
— including “groove” quantization — and a comprehensive range of editing functions. A 30,000
note memory gives this sequencer plenty of capacity for recording and playback of complete songs
with rich musical textures and complex arrangements. Only one song can be retained in internal
memory at a time, but like all other EX data songs can be saved to and loaded from floppy disk or
another external storage medium as required.
The Song memory will always be erased when the power is turned off. If you want to keep a
recorded song, use the Disk mode Save Song option to save all data to disk.
Song recording and playback details begin on page 185.
● The Pattern Mode
The 8-track “pattern” sequencer has most of the functions and features of the 16-track song
sequencer, but is more suited to the production and management of shorter patterns or phrases
such as drum tracks, dance grooves, or other frequently used phrases. Patterns can be used alone,
they can be used in songs (the Song mode has a dedicated “Pattern Track”), or they can be
assigned to specific keys and played back in a variety of ways in the Key Map mode (page 72). Up
to 50 patterns can be retained in memory and played, sequenced in songs, or mapped to the
keyboard as required.
Pattern recording and playback details begin on page 219.
