SONG MODE

MEASURE SELECT (001 ~ 999)
To select a specific measure from which the song will
begin recording when you press RUN on the sequencer,
position the cursor over the measure number and use
the JOG, INC/DEC, or KEYPAD. When the sequencer is
running, the measure number will advance to show the
number of the measure currently being recorded. In
realtime record, the measure will count down two
measures before the actual recording begins.
NOTE:
A song can be as long as remaining internal memory
will allow, even more than 999 measures. In such a case,
since the measure number indicator will only accommodate a
maximum of three digits, during recording and playback,
when the 1000th measure point is reached, the measure
number indicator will return to the beginning and continue
counting.
TEMPO SELECT (30 ~ 250)
To set the tempo of the song in quarter notes per
minute, position the cursor over the quarter note value
and use the JOG, INC/DEC, or KEYPAD. When
recording begins the cursor will automatically jump to
the tempo value field. You cannot change the tempo
during recording; however, you can change the tempo
in Song Edit Mode. (For information, see Data Insert
Tempo Track, page 94.)
TIME SIGNATURE
(1/4 ~ 8/4, 1/8 ~ 16/8, 1/16 ~ 16/16)
For selecting the time signature of the song before
recording.
NOTE:
The time signature can only be selected before
recording. If no specific time signature is selected, then the
default 4/4 time signature will automatically be specified.
After recording, the time signature cannot be changed.
(Likewise, if song data has been loaded into the sequencer, its
time signature cannot be changed.) It is possible for a song to
contain measures with differing time signatures throughout.
Different time signatures can be created with the Create
Measure feature in Song Job Mode. For more information,
see Song Job, page 98.
QUANTIZE
(off, 1/32, 1/24, 1/16, 1/12, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2)
To determine the timing accuracy to which the notes
you play will be corrected, position the cursor over the
quantize field and use the JOG or INC/DEC. When
quantization is turned off the notes you play will be
recorded at the exact timing as they occur. When a
quantization factor is selected, all notes you play will be
moved to the nearest timing at the specified interval.

USING THE SEQUENCER CONTROLS
When recording and playing back song sequences you will
use the three control buttons in the Sequencer section on
the panel.
RECORD
- Pressing RECORD once from within Song
Multi Play Mode will engage the record standby mode,
causing the red LED above the RECORD button to light.
The LED will stay lit during the recording process.
RUN
- Pressing RUN after engaging record standby
mode will begin the recording process. Otherwise,
pressing RUN in Song Multi Play Mode will play back
the currently selected song. When in Run status during
realtime recording, the LED above the RUN button will
blink green on each beat and blink red on the first beat
of each measure, until STOP/TOP is pressed.
STOP/TOP
- During recording or playback, pressing
STOP/TOP once will stop the song at a specific location.
(You can continue recording or playback from that
point by pressing RUN again.) Pressing STOP/TOP
twice resets the song to measure 1, i.e., the top of the
song.
