Sequencer operating mode
Transport controls
The Sequencer operating mode is the full-featured onboard
sequencer, where you can create a Song from scratch, or edit it.
You can also use this mode to edit the initial parameters of a
Standard MIDI File, either made with an external sequencer or
with Pa588’s own sequencer.
You can save the new or edited Song as a Standard MIDI File
(SMF, i.e., a file with the “.MID” extension), and play it back
either in Song Play or Sequencer mode – or on any external
sequencer.
Transport controls
To play back a Song, use SEQUENCER 1 transport controls (i.e.,
the one on the left side of the SEQUENCER area). While in
Sequencer mode, you can only use Sequencer 1 controls.
Sequencer 2 controls are deactivated. See “SEQUENCER 1
TRANSPORT CONTROLS” on page 14 for more information.
The Songs and the Standard MIDI File
format
The native Song format for Pa588 is the Standard MIDI File.
When saving a Song as a SMF, an empty measure is automati-
cally inserted to the beginning of the Song. This measure con-
tains various Song initialization parameters.
When an SMF is loaded, the empty measure is automatically
removed.
Sequencer Play - Main page
Press SEQUENCER to access this page from another operating
mode. In this page you can load a Song, and play it back using
the transport controls for SEQUENCER 1 (see “Transport con-
trols” above).
Note:
When switching from Style Play to Sequencer mode, the
Sequencer Setup is automatically selected, and various track
parameters may change.
To return to this page from one of the Sequencer edit pages,
press the EXIT or SEQUENCER button.
To switch between Song tracks 1-8 and 9-16, use the TRACK
SELECT button.
