• The TEMPO field:
This sets the "sequence" tempo for the newly created sequence (not the
"master" tempo).
• The "MIDI CHANNEL FOR TRACK 1 (0=UNUSED)" field:
This is actually 3 fields which allow a single output midi channel to be
assigned to each of the 99 tracks. To set the output midi channel assignment
for each track:
1. Move the cursor to the number which appears to the right of the
word "track" (this is a data field) and select the number of the
track you want to assign. Now, the current assignment for that
track will appear to the right of the colon (":").
2. Move the cursor to the number directly to the right of the colon
and enter the number of the midi channel you want the selected
track to play through (1 - 16). If you don't want that track to be
active at all, enter a "0" here.
3. Move the cursor one position to the right and use the DATA
CONTROL to select the output port you want the selected track
to play through (A, B, C, or D).
• SOFT KEY 1- <Execute>:

screen fields.
NOTE: If you select an empty sequence (a sequence with the name
"unused"), then press RECORD or OVERDUB, the sequence will
immediately be created using the settings in this screen.
