Using the Step Sequencer to Create a Song

Use the procedure below to change to another pattern 
for sequence data creation.

1.

Press the 

PATTERN selector button.

This enables pattern selection using sequence step keys 
1

 through 8.

2.

Press the sequence step key whose number 
corresponds to the pattern you want to select 
(

1 to 8).

This switches to the selected pattern.

NOTE

You can change the pattern group using sequence 

step keys 11 through 14. Changing the pattern group 

makes it possible to play back multiple patterns and 

to change the pattern playback sequence. For more 

information, refer to the separate User’s Guide 

(Tutorial).

The filter effect is assigned to pad 13 in bank 1 of 
sequence data file 000. Pressing pad 13 causes the filter 
effect to be applied to the sequence data. You can also 
assign an effect to a sequence step key and create a 
sequence that has the effect applied.

To apply an effect

1.

While holding down the 

SEQ selector button, 

use the 

11 () and 12 (+) buttons to select 

sequence data file number 000.

2.

After pressing the 

BANK selector button, 

press sequence step key 

1 to select bank 1.

3.

Press pad 

13.

The filter effect is applied to the sequence data while 
the pad is depressed.

If you want an effect to be applied continually, hold 
down the HOLD selector button as you press pad 13.

NOTE

Various effects are assigned to pads 14 through 16 in 

bank 1 of sequence data file 000 as well. You can 

apply multiple effects by pressing more than one 

pad at the same time.

To assign an effect to a sequence step 
key

1.

Perform steps 1 and 2 under “To apply an 
effect” to select sequence data file 000.

2.

Press the 

STEP selector button.

3.

Press the 

PLAY selector button.

The sequence data in the file will start to play, with 
sequence step keys lighting in numeric sequence.

4.

After pressing pad 

13, press the sequence 

step key of the step where you want to apply 
the filter effect.

This assigns the filter effect to the sequence step key.

To assign an effect to a sequential series of sequence 
step keys, hold down the first sequence step key of 
the series as you press the last sequence step key of 
the series.

NOTE

You can also assign an effect to sequence step keys 

without playing back sequence data.

You can replace the sequence data in TRACKFORMER 
sequence data files 100 through 149 with sequence data 
you create.

1.

While holding down the 

FUNCTION selector 

button, press the 

SEQ (WRITE) button.
