The Sequencer
When the “
KEY
” harmony setting is selected
(this is the default setting when the sequencer mode
is engaged), harmony will be applied to notes played
on the keyboard. If the “
TR1
” harmony setting is
selected, harmony will be applied to the track-1 part.
If “
TR2
” is selected harmony is applied to track 2,
and so on.
NOTES
• If Harmony is not turned on during recording, it will
automatically be turned off each time playback is
stopped if it is turned on before or during playback.
• Harmony can only be applied to tracks that contain
data.
●
RECORDING TYPE
Selects the Replace, Overdub, or Punch record
mode. Use either of the
TYPE
LCD dials to select
the
REPLACE
,
OVERDUB
, or
PUNCH
record mode:
REPLACE If replace recording is selected, any
previous data on the track being recorded will be
erased and replaced by the new material. This is the
“default” mode which is selected when the sequencer
is initially engaged.
OVERDUB If overdub recording is selected, pre-
vious material on that track will be retained and the
new material will be added to it.
PUNCH Punch-in recording allows a specified measure
or range of measures to be re-recorded (replaced) without
affecting previously recorded material before and after
the punch-in range. When the Punch mode is selected you
must also specify the measure from which playback is to
begin prior to the “punch-in” point at which recording
will actually begin (use the
PLAY START
LCD dial), the
punch-in measure from which recording is to begin (use
the
PUNCH IN
LCD dial), and the punch-out measure
at which recording is to end (use the
PUNCH OUT
LCD
dial).
NOTES
• It’s generally convenient to set the “PLAY START” measure
in the PUNCH mode to just a few measures before the
punch-in point. This allows you to get the feel of the music
and prepare to start playing at the punch-in point. You can
even play along with the material prior to the actual punch-
in point so you’ll flow naturally into the punch-in recording
range.
• A footswitch (an optional FC5 footswitch can be used)
plugged into the rear-panel FOOT SWITCH jack can also be
used to punch-in and punch-out when the footswitch “PUNCH
IN/OUT” function is selected via the “FOOT SWITCH” func-
tion described on page 88. With the sequencer running in the
Punch Record mode, press the footswitch at the point you
want to begin recording (i.e. to “punch in”), and again to stop
recording (punch out).
• Please note that the punch-in record function can only be
used on tracks that already contain recorded material.
■
CONDITION/VOLUME — TRACK VOLUME
.......................................................................................................
This function lets you independently set the playback volume of each of the sequencer’s seven orchestra tracks.
Use the LCD dials —
Tr1
through
Tr7
— to set
the volume of the corresponding tracks to a value
between “
0
” (minimum volume — no sound) and
“
100
” (maximum volume).
NOTES
• Only tracks that contain data are available for volume
control — others are indicated by an asterisk (*).
• Any recorded volume changes will override these
settings.
