SONG SEQUENCING
The W5/W7 comes equipped with a powerful 16-track, 16-song music sequencer with
large capacity memory (approximately 100,000 notes) that permits realtime (including
overdub and punch-in) and step recording, plus extensive song editing.
The W5/W7 s sequencer doesn t record actual sounds, it records note, controller,
program change and other MIDI data.˚Regardless of whatever sound you used to record a
specific part, you can always change the sound later by assigning a different voice to the
track. The music events inside each track can be singled out in the song editing process
and changed in many ways.
˚
The currently selected sequencer track will be lit red. TRACK buttons for tracks with
sequencer data in them will be lit green, while an unlit Track button will indicate that no
music data is in the track. During sequence playback, you can solo and mute the different
tracks.

As you re composing, you can use some or all of the 16 song memories to hold parts
of a song, then hear how they sound in context by having them play back in numeric order
without pausing in between.
During song editing you can view and edit individual note, controller and other MIDI
events in the song sequence, through three separate functions Data Change, which lets
you modify the data, Data Insert, which lets you insert new data, and Graph, which lets
you view notes as squares on a keyboard diagram plus a horizontal line which displays
dots that indicate the position of note data in a measure.
