USING THE SEQUENCER
LISTENING TO A SONG ON DISK
A sequencer is simply a special kind of recording device for MIDI instruments. This same sequencer can
also play commercially available song data. The W-5000's sequencer controls are found in the SEQ
(Sequencer) section under the LCD:
If you have song data on a disk and you'd like to hear it, follow this procedure:
Ê Insert the disk into the drive (label side up; metal shutter first).
Ë
Press the [SEQ] button (in the FUNCTIONS section).
Ì Press the [NEXT] button until 'Sequence Select' appears in the LCD.
Í
Press the [+] or [-] button to select the different songs on the disk. (The LCD will display as much of
the song title as there is room for. If the disk does not contain title information, then file names will be
shown instead; 00_mid, 01_mid, etc.)
Î
Press the [PLAY] button. (LEDs beside the [PLAY] button will indicate the playback tempo.)
Ï Control the volume using the USER [1] assignable drawbar.
