Section 8 — Sequencer Basics
EPS-16 PLUS Musician's Manual
Recording MIDI Tracks
Once everything is set up, you can proceed with recording MIDI instruments
exactly as you would for instruments with LOCAL or BOTH status that contained
sound data. Tracks that are sent out MIDI are treated the same as internal tracks in
terms of recording, overdubbing, punching in, editing, etc. Follow the same steps
outlined earlier in this section for recording the first track and then for additional
tracks.
For each successive track you record, the procedure will follow the same lines:
• Define the MIDI configuration of the track,
• Record the track, and then
• Either keep or reject the new track from the KEEP=OLD/NEW page.
MIDI tracks can be selected and stacked from the Instrument•Track buttons,
and can be muted or soloed from the EDIT/Track page, the same as any other
tracks. Performance/Track parameters such as Volume, Key Zone, and Transpose
all apply to MIDI tracks just as with LOCAL tracks.
Most often you will be recording sequences and songs which contain some MIDI
tracks and some LOCAL tracks. When this is the case, be sure that you assign
LOCAL status (as opposed to BOTH) to the tracks that you want to play only on
the EPS-16 PLUS. This will avoid accidentally sending unintended MIDI data to
an external instrument
Recording Program Changes
The EPS-16 PLUS allows program changes to be recorded into any track of a
sequence at any point within the sequence.
To record a program change onto a track:
• Make sure that RECORD MODE=ADD in the EDIT/Seq•Song page.
• Enter Overdub mode by pressing Play, followed by the Record button. The
"ODUB" indicator light will begin flashing.
• While holding down the appropriate Instrument•Track button (the one that
corresponds to the track where you wish to record the program change), use the
numeric keypad to type in the program number you want to be recorded.
• Release the Instrument•Track button at the point within the sequence that
the program change should occur. The program change will be recorded on the
track the moment the button is released.
