Chapter 4: Editing Sequences

Page 69

To erase a sequence and initialize it to preset values, press the ERASE

key, followed by SOFT KEY 2 (<Initialize>). The following screen will

appear:

========== Initialize Sequence ========A

Select sequence: 1-(unused)

===== General ===== ==== Track: 1 ====

Bars: 2 Sig: 4/ 4 Status:UNUSED

BPM:120.0 Type:DRUM Pgm:OFF

Loop:TO BAR 1 Chn:OFF & OFF

========================================

The fields and soft keys are:

• The Select sequence field:

This field is used to enter the number of the sequence that is to be

initialized. The selected sequence’s name is shown for convenience.

The “General” section:

• The Bars field:

In this field enter the number of bars that you want the initialized

sequence to have.

• The Sig (time signature) field:

In this field enter the time signature that you want the initialized

sequence to have. It is actually two fields, one for the upper and one for

the lower parts of the time signature.

• The BPM field:

In this field enter the tempo that you want the initialized sequence to

have. To view the tempo in frames per beat, move the cursor to the word

BPM and use the data entry knob to change it to FPB, just as in the

Play/Record screen.

• The Loop field:

In this field enter the loop status (OFF or TO BAR) and the loop bar

number, if TO BAR is selected, that you want the initialized sequence to

have.

The “Track” section

• The Track field:

Any or all of the sequence’s tracks can be initialized. To enter the

settings for each track, first select the track number in this field, then

enter the initialization data for that track in the fields below. This feature

lets you create templates for new sequences, so that track 2 defaults to

1 2 ... 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 ... 240 241
