SEQUENCER
Sequencer Background
To activate the sequencer module, press SEQUENCER SELECT. The green LED above the word
Sequencer and below the Emax logo should light to indicate you are ready to sequence.
The Sequencer Setup module handles chores as you create a sequence. Sequencer Manage covers
more general sequencer functions. After using the Setup or Manage modules, make sure you press
SELECT before you attempt recording.
Here’s how Record, Play, and Stop work:
Play starts the sequence playing. The sequence will repeat (loop) until you press Stop (see below). The
lower display line will show the playback tempo; this may be varied in real time with the data slider. You
may also change track status or the Current Preset while playing. If you don’t change the track status,
you can re-record the same track over and over again. The actual erase of the current track occurs when
you press Record, which neatly segues us into...
Record then Play puts the sequencer in record ready mode; Play a key to actually start the recording
process (it is not necessary to hold down record as you press play). The lower display line will show the
tempo at which are recording. This may be varied in real time with the data slider. Yes, you can slow
down tempo for the hard parts, and speed up for the easy ones! If you wish to start recording before any
notes are played (For example: To begin with a rest) press Enter.
Stop has two options. If you press it once while the sequence is playing, the sequence will stop at its end.
if you press Stop twice while the sequence is playing, it will stop immediately.
