SEQ 1.1: Play/REC

Here you can select a song, begin to create a new song, or make basic settings such as selecting the program used by each track.

1.1–1: Play.REC (Play/REC)

Here you can select a song, make settings for song play- back/recording, and turn RPPR on/off.

Location[001:01.000...999:16.191]

This display shows the current position in the song. From the left, the numbers are the measure, beat, and clock. When you modify these values, the current location will change.

When “MIDI Clock” (GLOBAL 2.1–1a) is Internal, changing the location will cause Song Position Pointer messages to be transmitted. If this parameter is set to External, Song Position Pointer messages from the specified source will change the location.

The range in which the beat and clock can be modified will depend on the currently specified time signature.

Meter [*/*, 1/4...16/16]

This is the time signature at the current location of the song. The time signature can be changed at each measure.

*/*: This will be displayed when you press the [REC/ WRITE] key. Specify this when you wish to use the time sig- nature that is already recorded for that measure, and wish to record without changing the time signature.

1/4–16/4, 1/8–16/8, 1/16–16/16: This is the time signature at the current location of the song. After pressing the front panel [REC/WRITE] key, specify the time signature here. Then press the [START/STOP] key to begin recording, and the specified time signature will be recorded on the Master Track and on previously-recorded tracks. Be aware that if you press the [START/STOP] key during the pre-count to stop recording, the time signature will not be recorded.

Normally, you will specify the time signature when you record the first track, and select */* when recording subse- quent tracks.

Changing the time signature in the middle of a measure

If you know beforehand the location at which you wish to change time signatures in the middle of a measure, use “Insert Measure” (5.2–1b) to specify and insert the time sig- nature for each measure of the same time signature, and then record your musical data. Alternatively, if you wish to change the time signature in the middle of a song which already contains musical data, use “Track Select” (1.1–1c) to specify the Master Track (or any Track01–16which contains data), and use “Event Edit” (5.2–1b) to modify the time sig- nature of the Bar event.

If the number of beats in a measure increases when you modify the time signature, rests will be inserted in the por- tion that was added. Conversely if the number of beats decreases, that portion will not be played. However if you return to the original time signature, the data that had been hidden will once again be played.

	Rest is inserted
	Not played
Reso (Real-time Quantize Resolution)		[Hi, ... ]

This corrects the timing of data as it is recorded in real-time. (It does not affect previously-recorded data.)

Hi (High Resolution): Timing will not be corrected. Data will be recorded at the maximum resolution ( /192).

–: Data will be corrected to the nearest interval of the specified timing as it is recorded. For example if you select

, data will be corrected to the nearest 32nd note triplet

interval. If you select , data will be corrected to the nearest quarter note interval.

With a setting of

Since all of the musical data that is recorded into the sequencer will be corrected to the specified timing resolu- tion, coarse settings of this parameter will cause continuous controllers such as pitch bend to be recorded in “stairstep” fashion.

In such cases, use a setting of Hi to record, and then use “Quantize” (5.2–1b) to correct only the desired type of data (notes etc.). It is best to avoid recording at a stiff resolution to begin with.

(Tempo) [040…240, EXT]

This sets the playback tempo of the song and the tempo of the arpeggiator.

040...240: When the “Tempo Mode” is Manu, this tempo will be used for recording and playback. When “Tempo Mode” is REC, this tempo will be recorded on the master track. EXT: This will appear when “MIDI Clock” (GLOBAL 2.1–1a) is External. The tempo of the internal sequencer will syn- chronize with the MIDI Clock messages received from an external sequencer etc. When “MIDI Clock” is Internal, the above tempo setting (040...240) will be used.

If Tempo is selected as an alternate modulation source, = 120 will be the base value.
