EPS-16 PLUS Musician's Manual Section 8 — Sequencer Basics
Use the Data Entry Slider or the Up/Down Arrow buttons to pan the click
track within the stereo spread (-99 to +99) of the main outputs, or send it to one
of the pairs of auxiliary outputs. The panning and output of the click is handled
in the same manner as voice panning and output See Section 7 — Voice
Parameters for more details.
• SEQ COUNTOFF=OFF, the song or sequence will start playing or recording
as soon as you press Play or Record/Play.
• SEQ COUNTOFF=ON, you will hear one bar of click track before the
sequencer goes into Play or Record.
• SEQ COUNTOFF=RECORD, you will hear one bar of click track before the
sequencer goes into Record, but not prior to going into Play.
• SEQ COUNTOFF=QUIET, there is a silent one-bar count before the
sequencer starts.
The RECORD MODE parameter determines how data will be recorded by the
EPS-16 PLUS sequencer when you enter Record. Use the Data Entry Slider
or the Up/Down Arrow buttons to choose between the following options:
• RECORD MODE=REPLACE — Anything recorded into an existing track will
replace data that was in the track previously. The sequencer will stop recording
after one time through the sequence or song and will enter Audition/Play mode.
• RECORD MODE=ADD — New data recorded into an existing track will be
added to (or merged with) data already in the track — the existing data will be
left intact. Again, the sequencer will exit Record after one time through the
sequence or song and enter Audition/Play.
• RECORD MODE=LOOPED — As with ADD mode, new data recorded into an
existing track will be added to (or merged with) data already in the track.
However, when RECORD MODE=LOOPED, the sequencer will remain in
Record for as many times as you play the song or sequence through (rather than
dropping out of Record after one time through). Think of this as "Drum
Machine mode" — as long as the sequence or song keeps playing you can keep
adding parts each time around.
• Pressing the Right Arrow button again takes you back to the first screen we
saw, showing the current sequence (or song) and location.
