The
power
of
a
computer
lies
in
its
ability
to
store
volumes
of
data.
There
are
many
ways
that
music
can
be
represented
as
data,
but
the
most popular
is sheet
music.
The
SEQUENCER
makes
it
possible
to
input
musical
notes
as
they
appear
on
the
sheet
music
as
data.
The
stored
piece
can
then
be
played
back
automatically,
thus
providing
vast
potential
for
new
types
of
musical
Creativity.
Actually,
the
sequencer
is a
type
of
recorder.
* THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SEQUENCER AND A TAPE RECORDER
A. Manual Recording for Non-Musicians
The
concept
that
musical
instruments
are
only
for
musicians
is
a
thing
of
the
past
thanks
to
modern
elec-
tronics.
With
conventional
tape
recorders,
considerable
skill
was
required
to
make
recordings
of
one’s
own
music
if
any
degree
of
success
was
desired.
The
sequencer
of
the
CZ-5000
makes
it
possible
for
beginners
who
possess
basic
music
reading
skills
to
input
note
data
to
form
complete
tunes
for
playback.
B. Easy Automatic Playback Tempo Changes
With
standard
tape
recorders
it
is
impossible
to
control
tape
speed,
so
the
tempo
of
recorded
pieces
cannot
be
changed.
(Even
tape
players
capable
of
variable
speed
cannot
maintain
the
same
pitch
when
speed
is
changed.)
The sequencer, on the other hand, provides full control over tempo. This means that the notes input very
slowly on the keyboard can be sped up to make the finished product sound like your fingers were literally
flying over the keys.
C. Easy Timbre Changes After Recording
Once you record a piano/violin duet on a tape, it is impossible to play it back as anything besides a piano/
violin duet.
If the piano and violin parts are separately recorded in the sequencer of the CZ-5000, the violin can easily
be changed to a flute or the piano to a guitar. After recording an ensemble with a variety of timbres, you
can freely change any part that does not sound quite right to just the timbre you want.
