Sequencer Writing / Editing
The memory protect switch (on the
rear of the JX-10 or front of the MKS-
70) must be set to Off to Edit or
create a sequence in memory.
The way to erase or blank a
sequence is by long pressing the
SEQ ERASE Button for 2 seconds.
Then select the sequence number to
erase (1-8) using the Number Pad
and then press WRITE. This is
equivalent to writing 124 Rests and
setting the length to 1.
If you
choose to edit an existing
sequence then any step(s) you
write will overwrite all notes in the
existing step(s) already in the
sequence unless you press the
OVERDUB button (Bank 3) while
you play notes.
The BANK 4
(backwards) and BANK 5 (forwards)
buttons will allow non destructive
stepping within a sequence.
e.g. if the existing sequence is 5
steps C, D, E, F, G and you step to
the third step and play the chord C E
G the resulting sequence will now be
C, D, CEG(chord), F, G. You will have
overwritten the third step.
You can write the pitch by playing
the keyboard (or midi keyboard),
and the rhythm by pressing the Tie
button and the Rest button. Note
levels are also saved. This will allow
notes to be accented.
(1) Find the shortest time value in the
phrase you wish to write. Then
divide the longer time values by
that shortest one.
(e.g)
2) Press SEQ EDIT button for 2
seconds to begin Seq write/edit.
(3) By playing the keyboard and
using the Tie button and Rest
buttons, write steps one after
another.
Note - if more than 6 notes are used
in one step only the last 6 notes
used will play and be stored.
(4) If writing is complete press the
Write button followed by a Number
Pad Tone button (1-8 only) and
then the PAD ENTER to Save the
Sequence to permanent memory
or the SEQ EDIT or CANCEL
Buttons to exit edit mode. The
SEQUENCER button will start the
sequence playing on the next
clock received. If the Seq is not
written to memory the sequence
will be lost if the JX-10 is powered
off or another sequence is loaded.
Pressing the SEQUENCER button
again will stop the sequence
playing (refer to
Sequencer
Playing in the next section).
(5) Return the Memory Protect Switch
to the Off Position.
When a sequence is playing the seq
name & the current step will
display.
In the MKS-70 version of the upgrade
replace the BANK buttons with
PAD buttons.
