An Overview of This Unit
Broadly speaking, this unit consists of three sections: synthesizer, sequencer, and sampler.

This unit provides 16 parts, allowing you to play multiple tones
simultaneously. These 16 parts are collectively called a studio set. One tone
can be assigned to each part of a studio set.
Normally, you’ll perform using the tone of part 1 (single play).
When using the sequencer to create a song, you’ll use all 16 parts of the
studio set (multi part play).
You can also use the tones of part 1 and part 2 for dual play or split play.
What is a tone?
Each sound that you can play on this unit is called a
“tone. Press a tone button to select a tone.
Sequencer
You can use the 16-track MIDI sequencer to create
songs.
You can record 16 tracks using the tones of the
studio set’s 16 parts.
What is a song?
A “song is performance data for one song.
A song contains the performance data,
tempo data, and the studio set that you used.
Sample banks are also remembered for each
song.
Sampler

sound that’s input from a connected audio device or microphone can be
recorded (sampled) to an SD card as audio.
Samples that you’ve sampled to an SD card can be played by pressing the pads.
