Recording a motion sequence

You can record knob movements (motion sequence) for each part. When recording a motion sequence, only one knob is valid for each part. If you record a motion sequence on the same part using a different knob, the effect of the previously recorded knob will disappear.

For the recording procedure, refer to p.18 "Using a motion se- quence" in section 3. Basic operation (Quick Start).

Motion sequences are recorded in realtime while you listen to the playback. It is not possible to partially modify a motion sequence after it has been recorded. You will need to keep trying until you record a motion sequence to your liking. (Refer to p.31 "Erasing motion sequence data from a part.")
