5. The Sequencer
The SY85 sequencer has 8 “normal” tracks and a special rhythm track.
Each of the normal sequencer tracks can control a separate “instrument”. Which
track controls which instrument is determined by the multi-play setup instru-
ment assignments and the sequencer track transmit channel assignments (both
are described below). Normally, sequencer tracks 1 through 8 are assigned to
the correspondingly numbered MIDI transmit channels, so tracks 1 through 8
control the multi-play instruments assigned to MIDI channels 1 through 8,
respectively. Track 9, the rhythm track, plays a sequence of rhythm “patterns”
— any of the 100 preset rhythm patterns provided with the SY85, or original
patterns you record in the PATTERN mode.
The SY85 sequencer can hold up to 10 separate “songs” that can be se-
lected and recorded or played as required. Completed songs can also be saved
to external floppy disks for long-term storage.
There are basically two ways to record using the sequencer — realtime or
step write. Both of these methods are described below.
Real-time Recording (Tracks 1 … 8)
Realtime recording allows you to directly record anything you play on the
keyboard, capturing the spontaneous timing, keyboard dynamics and controller
operations of the performance. Using the realtime recording mode is, in fact,
very much like using a conventional tape recorder. Realtime recording is best
for parts you can play easily on the keyboard, and for passages in which you
want to retain the human “feel” of naturally varying timing and other musical
factors.
1. Engage the Song Mode and Select a Song Number
Press the [SONG] key to engage the song mode.
The SY85 can hold up to 10 different “songs” in memory at the same time.
Use [CS1] to select a song number from 1 to 10. If this is the first song
you’ve recorded, “1” is a logical choice.
Optional Set the Transmit Channel For Each Track.
This step is only necessary if you want to change the default track
transmit channel settings: tracks 1 through 8 normally transmit on MIDI
channels 1 through 8, respectively.
Press [F8] to call the Track Transmit Channel display.
