The Sequencer

The second octave of the keyboard can be used to transpose the Synth-1-3 Parts in realtime while

the pattern is playing. Why not just try this function. You will be amazed how many ideas for com-

plete songs will open up to you.

With the patterns created by you you can arrange a complete song with up tp 100 separate steps

called Song-steps.

The individual pieces of a song are called Steps. A Step relates to an individual pattern with a pre-

determined length. You can also set a transposition for the three Synth-Parts within each Step. In addi-

tion you can choose whether a Part (track) should be audible or mute. To open the Edit-song menu,

press the EDIT-key. With the PAGE/BANK-keys choose page 4. The display shows the following:

Press the F3-key [song] to open the Edit-song menu:

This is the first page of the Edit-song menu. In all the pages, the top line shows you the current posi-

tion of the song.

1. Edit S1: This means that you are just in the first Song-step.

2. Bar: 1: This display indicates the actual position of your song in bar-counts.

In both instances, the bottom display line contains a parameter you are allowed to change. On page

1 you select the pattern. You can choose from 100 user-patterns. If you want to load up a ROM-

pattern copy it onto a User-pattern storage space first.

Now press the right PAGE/BANK-key. You will see page 2 on the display:

On this page you set the number of tones you want one of the three synth-motifs to move up or

down (called transposition).

On this page you can determine how long the pattern should last, i.e. how many bars it contains.

You can select between 1 and 64 bars.

This page offers you two functions: insert [ins] and delete [del]. Pressing the F2-key [ins] allows you to

insert a Step. Your selected Step will be copied and positioned as the next step in the song. All the fol-

lowing steps move along one position (shuffle).

You can not insert when you are in the last step of a song.
