Song Mode and Sequencing
Getting Started with the Sequencer
Since you previously assigned Hammer Bass to Channel 2, it should appear in the
Program field when you set Track 2 as the record track. Note, too, that the track status
indicator for Track 1 changes to P (for Play) when you select Track 2 for recording. The
small square above the track status indicator tells us that material is contained on that
track.
5. Press the Record soft button to enter REC READY mode.
6. Press the Play soft button, then begin laying down a bass track.
Remember that by default there is a four-beat count off, during which time the Locat
value is negative. No material is recorded during the count off, though anything you play
during the countoff will be quantized to the first note of the song. As you are recording the
bass track, your drum loop will keep playing. Play for as long as you want; the sequencer
will lengthen the song as needed.
7. Press the Stop soft button when you are done recording the bass.
You will be given the usual save options. To keep what you’ve just recorded, press the Yes
soft button followed by the Replace soft button.
Since you unlooped the drum track when you recorded the bass, you’ve changed the
endpoint of the song to be wherever you stopped the bass track. You can check the
endpoint (and change it, too, if you want) using the Event Editor, as described earlier.
Record the Remaining Instruments in Your Song
Now that you’ve defined your song with the bass and drum tracks, you can put the organ and
quillsichord (or whatever instruments you’ve chosen) into your song.
1. Set the record track (RecTrk) on the SongMode:MAIN page to Track 3.

This line shows whether tracks contain recorded data. In tihs case,
only Track 1 (a playback track) contains data. If Track 1 were the
recording track, then instead of the box, you’d see a + if Mode were
Merge, or an x if Mode were Erase.
This line contains the track status indicators. In this case, Track 1 is a
playback track, Track 2 is the recording track, and Tracks 3–16 are empty.
