Song Mode and Sequencing
Getting Started with the Sequencer
3-3
Notice that the sequencer is ready for you to record a new song, and the record track
(RecTrk) is set to track 1. If 1|NewSong doesn’t appear in the CurSong field, press the
MISC soft button, then press the New soft button on the MISC page. You’ll return to the
MAIN page, and CurSong will say 1|NewSong.
2. Use the down arrow button to move the cursor to the Program field.
When this field is highlighted, type 34 then press Enter. You’ve now assigned
Castle Drums to Channel 1.

Note: If 34 Castle Drums appears in parentheses, it means that the current channel is not the
drum channel. You can either go to the Master page to change the drum channel, or assign the
drums to the current drum channel in Song mode.
3. Now use the up arrow button to highlight the RecTrk field.
Change RecTrk to 2. You can use either the Alpha Wheel or the alphanumeric buttonpad.
4. Return to the Program field, and set it to 86 Hammer Bass.

Notice that the R on the Track line, which stands for Record, has moved to Track 2. Also
notice how each of the sixteen tracks has a default channel associated with it. You could
change this if you wanted to, but most people find it easiest to associate Track 1 with
Channel 1, Track 2 with Channel 2, etc.
5. Repeat the above two steps to assign 122 Ballad Organ to Channel 3 and 142 Quillsichord
to Channel 4.
You’ve now chosen the programs for your first sequence. It’s important to realize, though,
that you have not recorded them yet. They will be there when you need them, but they
have not yet been included in a song. Also, don’t forget that you can change the program
assignments any time before or after you record the song.
