C) Playing
Load Sequence
A Sequence can be loaded in two
ways. A Sequence is loaded
manually
by pressing SEQ SELECT followed by
a Tone Button 1-8. The Sequence that
is stored under the Tone button
selected will be loaded to memory
.
A Sequence can be assigned to a
Tone and can load
automatically
when the Tone is loaded. To do this
place the Sequence number 1-8 in the
Load Sequence Field in the Tone
Parameter Editing (midi editing only)
or save the Tone with the sequence
running. Place a zero in this field if you
do not want a Sequence to load or
save the tone with the sequence
stopped. The last Sequence will stay
in memory and continue to play (if
enabled) in this case.
If you press the SEQUENCER button
the indicator on the button will light
and the data written into the
sequencer will be played.
The first
note of the sequence will only sound
once a clock has been received.
This
allows a seq to be queued to start.
When all the notes are played the data
will return to the beginning and be
played again from the start. Pressing
the SEQUENCER button once more
will stop the sequence playing
immediately. The tempo of the playing
will be determined by the clock
source. If the clock source is the
Internal Clock then the tempo will be
set by the Master Clock which can be
further divided using the SEQ STEP
TIMING button.
* If you stop the Sequence part
way through and then restart it
the data will start from the
beginning.
* If you wish to only play the data
once, put some rests are the
end so it is easier to stop the
sequence in the correct place.
It is possible to play along with the
sequencer. The JX-8P has 6 voices in
total and if not enough voices remain
for all the sequence note(s) then
notes will be lost according to the
steal rules that have been specified in
parameter 422 (Voice Steal Mode).
i.e. if the sequence step has four
notes and three are being played
then one note will not sound.
Note - If a new sequence or Tone is
loaded while a sequence is playing
the load of the Tone and Seq will
delay until the current sequence
reaches the end and is about to loop
back to the start. At this point the
Tone and Sequence (if auto load
enabled) will then load and the next
note(s) to sound will be with the new
selection.
If the Sequencer is on (Sequencer
Button light on) when a Tone is saved
the Sequencer will be switched on
and the currently selected sequence
will begin to play when the Tone is
loaded. If the Seq is off when a Tone
is saved the Seq state will be off
when that Tone is loaded. Saving the
Tone with the sequence on will also
load the current playing sequence
into the Load Sequence parameter in
the Tone. The effect of this is that the
Sequence will load & begin to play
when the Tone is loaded.
