5.5 Music sequencer

The EG2280USB/EG8280USB provides a built-in 2-track sequencer which allows you to record and play back a piece of music . For each of the two tracks you can select one or two sounds for recording. This means that the music sequencer can play back up to four sounds at the same time. While playing back a music piece you can also play on the keyboard to produce complex performances with up to six different sounds.

What is more, you can use the music sequencer for practicing. For example, you could record the left and right-hand parts of a piece separately on the two tracks. During playback, switch off one track (=hand) and play the muted part yourself. Thus, you can practice each part individually within its musical context.

◊The memory of the music sequencer can store up to 10,000 notes. However, this number can decrease depending on how much pedaling information is stored.

◊You can quit record mode by pressing the REC button again.

2)If necessary, adjust the metronome tempo and meter as described in chapter 5.4.

3)Keep pressing the TRACK-1 button until the REC LED above the corresponding button lights up red. Now, track 1 is selected for recording. If you did a recording take before, the last track selected will be used for recording. Depending on which track is currently used, you will have to select the other track for recording.

◊TIP: If the PLAY LED for one of the tracks lights up, this warns you that notes have already been recorded on this track. If you select this track again for recording (REC LED lights up red), the previous recording will be lost.

4)Select a sound in the TONE section. You can also use a sound combination (see chapter 4.1) for recording.
