Option #11) you can disable this effect, so that initialisation inserts no notes in the track.
Initialisation works for only one track at a time, even if you have several tracks selected. Only the
track that's being displayed on the LCDs, the active track, will get initialised.
Let's take the first two tracks in Group 1 (i.e. G1T1 and G1T2). At the very least you need to
set their type, length, port and MIDI channel. These settings are made on the EVENT page
(MENU + EVENT).
Make the following settings for G1T1 and G1T2:
• Track type should be “Note”
• Maximum length should be 128 steps
• Port should be 'Def.' (or 'OUT1')
• the MIDI channel (Chn.) should be whatever your synth is listening to (you must know the
right channel yourself)
The port (that's where your synth is physically connected to) is going to be the same for both
tracks in this example, but it still has to be set separately for each track. As to the MIDI
channel, the simplest solution is that you set both tracks to the same channel, so they're both
playing the same (polyphonic) synth. If you have a multitimbral synth, you could use G1T1 to
play a lead sound on one synth and G1T2 to play a bass sound on another, but it's ok if both
tracks are playing the same sound (as long as your synth is polyphonic).
If your synth is monophonic, you will have to apply the following according to your best
judgement, because it's written for, and has been tested with, a polyphonic synthesizer.
Select G1T1 with the group and track selection buttons. To get a track that is of the type
“Note” and 128 steps long, turn GPK2–4 on the EVENT page until the type is “Note” and
“Steps” is 128. This will automatically set the correct layer numbers as well. Initialise the
track by pressing GPB16 for a few seconds.
Next, select the correct port and MIDI channel. Use the GP knobs to set Port to 'Def.' and Chn.
to whatever channel your synth is listening to (you will have to know yourself what the right
channel for your equipment is).
Then push track selection button #2 to select G1T2. You will notice that you stay in the same
menu page (the EVENT page), but the information you see now pertains to track G1T2. Make
the same Type, Steps/Layers, Port and MIDI channel selections for G1T2 as you did for G1T1,
and initialise the track.
2.1.1. Track types
On the MBSEQv4, track selection possibilities are organised into several predefined options based on
track type, length (number of steps), number of parameter layers, and number of trigger layers (the
options are listed below).
Changing the track type allows you to select different kinds of track presets that best suit your
