The GeniSys™ Sequencer contains many display functions. Here is a quick breakdown of
those functions and what they do:
Sequencer Control Function:
PLAY: Standard Sequencer File Playback; PLAY mode will play the selected MIDI
song file number from within the selected MIDI Song File Source Folder.
PLAY+: “Playlist” Sequencer File Playback; PLAY+ mode will play all MIDI song files
from within the selected MIDI Song File Source Folder.
REC:
Record Sequencer File; REC mode will record a performance and save the
recorded performance data into the selected MIDI song file number. The MIDI
song file location is within the selected MIDI Song File Source Folder.
DEL:
Delete Sequencer File; DEL mode will delete the displayed MIDI song file
number from within the selected MIDI Song File Source Folder.
MIDI Song File Number:
MIDI song files use a specific filename format; SONGXX.mid, where “XX” is the file
number. Any file number between 01 and 99 may be selected. MIDI song files which do
not use the specified filename format will not be recognized by the Sequencer and therefore
cannot be loaded for playback.
MIDI Song File Source Folder:
MIDI song files are stored on the USB flash device. The Sequencer uses several pre-
defined directories or “source folders” to access MIDI song files. MIDI song files must be
located within one of these source folders to be able to be loaded and/or played back.
Counter:
The counter indicates the current position of the Sequencer within a MIDI song file.
Transport Control Function:
STOP: Stops a MIDI song file from playing.
FWD: Similar to play, FWD starts the MIDI song file from the current counter position.
SRCH: Very useful control function that will cause the Sequencer to search from the
beginning of the MIDI song file up to the current counter position for any
messages pertaining to the organ's stop settings, stop changes, and expression
data. This insures the organ is prepared to resume recording/playing the MIDI
song file from the current counter position.
