Sequencer Basics
• Press Enter•Yes. The display will read SAVING <SONG NAME> while the song is being
saved.
• If there is already a song file with the same name on the disk, the display will ask DELETE
OLD VERSION? Press Enter•Yes to save the song, replacing the one on the disk. This is for
updating songs to which you have made changes. Or press Cancel•No to abort the
procedure.
• If there is not enough free space on the disk, the display will say NOT ENOUGH DISK
SPACE. Save the song to another disk (or delete some files from the disk).
• Note that the song and all sequences in memory are saved as one file. You cannot extract a
single sequence from a song file and load it separately. If you want access to a sequence
individually, you must first load the song into the internal memory, and then save the
individual sequence using the SAVE CURRENT SEQUENCE command.
Selecting a Sequence/Song
Press the Edit button, then the Seq•Song button. The following screen will appear:
EDIT

This screen is where you select a sequence or the song. With the selected sequence or song name
underlined (as shown above), use the Up/Down Arrow buttons or the Data Entry Slider to select
a different sequence or song. The display will indicates whether a song is selected:

This will appear when a Song

Tip:
You can always get back to the Current Sequence/Song screen by double-clicking the Seq•Song
button (when in Edit mode).
Playing a Sequence/Song
Try selecting a sequence, and pressing the Play button in the sequencer section, to the right of the
display. The selected sequence will begin to play.
While one sequence is playing you can select another one. You will see the name of the new
sequence in the display, but the original one will continue to play. When the first sequence is
finished, the sequencer will switch to the new sequence, and it will play. In this fashion you can
string sequences together in real time, as they play.
Press the Stop•Continue button or the Left Foot Switch to stop the current sequence.
