PART : only part name events are displayed.

TEMPO: tempo and signature are displayed.

EXCL : exclusive messages are displayed.

OPTIONS: Press F4 to enter the FUNCTION mode and then F2 to access this menu. Press F5 (Escape) to exit the menu.

METRONOME: By pressing F1, the metronome is switched on/off during the recording stage.

MODE RECORD: By pressing F1, the two recording modes, Overdub and Replace, are selected (see RECORD).

RECORD PRECOUNT: By repeatedly pressing F3 you select the bars that must elapse between the moment in which the recording command is

given and the moment in which the recording actually starts. You can have from 0 to 5 precount bars. The precount is

displayed in the POSITION box, marked with a negative sign (-). The precount is interrupted when the first event starts. In

the SYNCSTART mode it is automatically switched off since it is not required.

CHASE EVENTS: When this function is On (F4 button), regardless of the position from which the sequence starts, the CONTROL CHANGE and

the PROGRAM CHANGE of the sequence are transmitted in any case, even if they were recorded in previous positions. If,

for example, the starting point of a sequence is set at number 20 and the controls are set at bar 1, the sequencer will imme-

diately send all the controls that are present from the beginning of the sequence up to bar 20. This functions allows the

notes to play in the set manner, regardless of the starting point of the sequence.

RESET STOP: If this function is On (F6 button), at every stop the suspended notes are deleted and the pitch bend is reset.

STEP TRACE: If this function is On (F8 button), you can use the Cursor<> buttons to move around the EDIT menu and play back the recor-

ded notes while scrolling them. This function is useful to trace parts of the sequence.

TRACK NAME: Use the Cursor<> buttons to scroll through the names of the tracks shown in the middle of the display. Press the F7 but-

ton if you want to change the name of the track with a selected number. This way you will access the usual name editing

window. The procedure to edit a new name is the same as the one already described in the NAME paragraph. Press F10

(Execute) to save, F5 (Escape) to exit.

LOAD/SAVE: A sequence can be imported from outside (disk), provided it is in a midi file format. The instrument is capable of inter-

preting the midi file format (see SONG PLAY section of the Instructions Handbook). During the LOAD phase, the midi file

(MID extension) is automatically translated into a format that the sequencer can read and it is loaded in the memory.

Therefore, it can be edited for changes, additions, deletions by using the sequencer’s functions. Once the sequence impor-

ted through LOAD or recorded from zero has been edited, it can be saved in the midi file format. To this end, the SAVE func-

tion is used. Once saved on disk, the sequence can be reproduced (by accessing the SONG PLAY menu).

In detail:

LOAD: Access the function from the main menu by pressing F4 (FUNCTION) and then F6 (LOAD/SAVE). You will

access a page on the display with the following arrangement: The midi files directory is in the center of the display.

If the HARD DISK is selected, the directory refers to the midi files that are in the Folder that is selected and shown

in the upper part of the display. For example, if HARD [03 Newfold] is shown, the files are those belonging to fol-

der number 3 named Newfold. If Floppy Disk is shown, the filed are those belonging to the main directory of the

floppy. Use the numeric buttons 0-9 to change Folders; use the Page <> buttons to select the Floppy from the Hard

Disk and vice versa. If you change a diskette in the floppy and you want to update the display so that it shows also

the contents of the new diskette, press F4 (Dir) because updating in this case is not automatic. To select the midi

file that has to be loaded, use the Cursor <> buttons to change page; use the Value -/+ buttons to move between

files. Loading modes are highlighted in the MODE box which can be changed by pressing F3. They are:

REPLACE: The midi file will replace any sequence that is in the memory (this sequence will be deleted). In this

case press F1 (Load) and the selected midi file will be loaded in the memory, deleting everything else that was

already in the memory.

MERGE: The midi file will merge with the sequence that is already in the memory. Once the MERGE mode is set, a

window appears in the middle of the display. You can select the position (by using the Cursor <> and Value -/+ but-

tons) where the midi file will be “hooked” unto the already-existing sequence. This function can be used to merge

several midi files by selecting their positions accordingly. If you want the midi files to play in the proper manner,

we recommend that you use the Merge function for midi files saved in 0 format (i.e. made up of one single track).

Once the midi files have been loaded in the memory, use the Demix function to assign one track to every channel.

To load the selected midi file, set its position and then press F10. After the loading procedure, the sequencer will

automatically return to the main menu. The tracks containing midi files will take up the “i” status; if the midi file

is in the multitrack format, a reproduction channel (Chan. column) will be automatically set for every track.

Instead, the tempo and signatures of the midi files, and any lyrics or exclusive messages, will be recorded on the

MASTER TRACK.
