Section 12 — Sequencer and Audio Track Concepts
Sequencer Basics

Sequence Tracks
Each sequence is composed of up to eight tracks, which correspond to the eight
Instrument•Sequence Track locations. That is, each instrument location also doubles as a track.
Whatever is recorded on a given track will play on the instrument that is loaded into that
Instrument•Sequence Track location.
You can only record on one track at a time. All sequence recording is done in Edit mode, and in
Edit mode you can only select one Instrument•Sequence Track at a time.
You “mix down” sequences on the Edit/Track page. From the screens on this page you can play,
mute, or solo each track; you can also adjust the MIX level, PAN setting, and Output Bus for each
track (MIX, PAN, and OUT for each track are remembered when you save a bank).
The Audio Tracks also allow you to adjust the MIX level, PAN setting, and Output Bus for each
track.
Note:
When Editing Tracks, remember that the selected Track’s (Instrument•Sequence Track or Audio
Track with its yellow LED solidly lit) parameters are the ones that are being viewed.
Creating a New Sequence
• Press Command, then double-click the Seq•Song button. The display shows CREATE NEW
SEQUENCE.
• Press Enter•Yes. The display will show NEW NAME= SEQUENCE 02 (or 03, 04, etc.). There
is a cursor beneath the first character. You can now give the sequence a name of your
choosing, or use the default name by skipping the next step.
• Name the new sequence, using the Data Entry Slider or the Up/Down Arrow buttons to
change each character, and then pressing the Left/Right Arrow buttons to move the cursor to
the next character. Continue this until the display shows the name you want.
• Press Enter•Yes.
• Select the time signature for the new sequence (or, if the time signature that’s showing is the
one you want, just press Enter•Yes twice). The time signature for the sequence is set at this
time and cannot be changed later. Adjust the top half of the fraction (numerator), then scroll
right to select the bottom half of the fraction (denominator) and adjust that.
• Press Enter•Yes. The new sequence is created and becomes the currently selected sequence.
