The Sequencer can record
up
to 256 “events’: If you’re
recording a monophonic bass line where all notes are the
same lenglh. you
can
have up to 256 notes or rests in a
row in your sequence (at
1
event per note or rest).
Each
note
of a chord is recorded as a separate “event’:
so a four note chord requires 4 events (even though it all
happens during 1 “step’s” wonh of time). A sequence
made up only of 4 note chords could hpld up to 64 chords
(256
events/4
events per chord) before
you
ran out of
memory, and
it
would last for 64 steps.
TlED NOTES (see. above) or chords lake up
1
event per
note plus 1 event for each step which extends fhe length
of the chord. A four note chord TIED to last for 4 steps (i.e.
a quarter note, if a 16th
note=1
step), will lake up 7 events.
(That breaks down to 4 events for the 4 note chord on the
1st step, plus 1 event each for the extensions
to
Ihe
2nd,
3rd and 4th steps).
Rests take
up
1 event per step
-
so a q”e,ner rest would
take up 4 events (and 4 steps) with a 16th hole
=
1 step.
