6 -- SEQUENCER MODE
Since an 8-track sequencer is installed in the MIR, you can easily create your own songs complete 1 with multi-
timbral instrumentation by specifying the Program that will be used on each track and by recording play data
from an external MIDI keyboard.

In this mode songs (play data) can be recorded, played back and edited; moreover, other song
parameters (such as effect settings to be used for playback) can be edited.
In this mode the memory is edited directly.
The Program used when playing the keyboard for recording is the Program that will be assigned to the
current track of the selected song.
The amount of data that can be memorized is limited as to the total number of songs, patterns and steps
(music notes).
STRUCTURE OF SONGS
Sequencer play data together with re lated parameters recorded in 8 or less tracks is referred to as a "song."

1 Program (I sound color) can be assigned to 1 track. It is possible to change each track 's Program
in the middle of the song .
Each track can store play data of up to 250 measures.
1 song can consist of up to 8 tracks.
10 songs , numbered from 0 to 9, can be created .
The Ml 's internal sound source can provide a maximum of 16 oscillators for use in all the tracks
combined.
In the Sequencer Mode the effect set ting of each program is i gno r ed and the effect setting within the
song parameter is active .
Each track of a song can be mad e in the 3 following ways:
( 1)
Real time r ec ording
This is the most basic method in that the data played by keys is directly memorized. The real time recording
page is selected by d efa ult when the SEQUENC ER Mode is called up.
(2)
Step recording
This is a recordin g method that sp ec ifi es , step by step, the length and velocity (volum e) of eac h not e by numeric
valu e, and the pitch by key.
(3)
Patt e rn method
