Part IV

Sequencer

About the measure count

The measure count on the display corresponds to the time signature of the selected rhythm. However, if rhythm data is stored in the RHYTHM part and that part is played back, the measure count on the display corresponds to the stored rhythm data. (Refer to page 75.)

If you wish to use a time signature not available in the preset rhythms, use the COMPOSER to create a new time signature. (Refer to page 86.)

Slide Show

This instrument can show various images which change automatically corresponding to the music progression just like the DEMO performance. Using the Slide Show function, you can create a multi-media show of images synchronizing with the sound.

MEMO

This instrument is compatible with images sized 640

x240 pixels. Even though an image sized up to 640

x480 pixels can be read, the data will be cut out to 640 x 240 pixels when loading.

Depending on the size, it may not be possible to load the image.

After the PICTURE LOAD display appears, no sound is produced on the instrument.

PR604: The display consists of a monochrome, 4- gradation screen. It is recommend that you remake the images beforehand to adapt for the screen capacity using a graphic application, etc, in your computer.
