The Phrase Sequencer is a great way to record musical phrases that suddenly pop into your mind for later playback.

You can record a new phrase or overdub onto an existing phrase to create a user phrase. There is memory for storage of up to 1,000 user phrases (phrase number 000 to 999) for later recall when you need them.

In addition to what you play on the keyboard, your pedal, wheel, knob, and slider operations are also recorded as part of phrase. Note, however, that pedal, modulation wheel, knob, and/or slider operations may not be recorded when certain functions are assigned to pedals, knobs, and/or sliders. For more information, see the separate “Tutorial”.

You can choose either of two different playback options: one-time playback (loop off) or repeat playback (loop on).

Overdubbing during looped playback is supported.

A Song Sequencer function lets you combine phrase data into song data. With this Digital Piano, song data is referred as a “song”. For details, see “Creating a Song (Song Sequencer)” (page E-21).

Recording a New Phrase

You can record up to approximately 1,600 notes for a single phrase. Also, recorded wheel, knob, and slider operations significantly reduce the remaining number of notes available for recording.

Note that you cannot record a phrase while an Audio Recorder (page E-23) operation is in progress.

1. Press the cq (PHRASE) button the required number of times until its lamp starts to flash.

If OVDB (overdubbing) is displayed as the “Rec Mode” setting, use the eo minus (–)and plus (+) buttons to change it to NEW (new phrase). This will enter the new phrase recording standby mode.

Note quantize and end measure settings can be configured as required.

Note Quantize (Note Qntz)

When recording keyboard play, there may be cases when your timing strays a bit. The note quantize settings described below can be used to correct the timing of keyboard play automatically and correct the timing of notes you play on the keyboard. (Note that only key press timing is correct. The timing of other operations such as key release, and wheel, pedal, knob, and slider operations are not corrected.)
