Getting Started with the Sequencer

The last event listed is the endpoint, which should correspond to the first beat of the Bar following the last Bar in the song. For our four measures of silence, then, the endpoint should be 5:1. The display below, however, shows that five measures have been recorded:

Fortunately, it’s quite easy to change the endpoint from 6:1 to 5:1 to remove the extra measure that’s been accidentally recorded. (If your endpoint is at 5:1, you won’t need to change it now. If, however, your endpoint is less than or greater than 5:1, you should proceed with the next step.)

6.Check the endpoint, and change it if necessary.

To change the endpoint from 6:1 (or any other incorrect value) to 5:1, press the Right cursor button to position the cursor in the Bar:Beat:Tick column (6:1.000 in the above example). Type 51000 then press the Enter button. The endpoint is changed, and the song is now four measures long.

Press the Done soft button to return to the COMMON page in the Song Editor. If you changed the endpoint while in the Event Editor, save the song now (you may have to press one of the more soft buttons to see the Save soft button).

7.Press Exit to return to the MAIN page in Song mode.

8.Make sure that the RecMode and PlayMode parameters are set to Loop.

From the MAIN page, press the MISC button. Set the RecMode parameter on the MISC page to Loop.

The PlayMode parameter should already be set to Loop. If it isn’t, turn the Alpha Wheel until Loop is highlighted.
