Sequencer Block

This block lets you create Songs and Patterns by recording and editing your performances as MIDI data (from the controller

block), then playing it back with the tone generator block. The sequencer block can be operated in the Song mode, in the

Pattern mode, and with the Arpeggio feature. When a Song or a Pattern is played back, the musical data of each sequence

track is transmitted to the tone generator block according to the Transmit Channel settings.

n Songs can be played back only in the Song mode. They cannot be played back in other modes.

Patterns can be played back only in the Pattern mode. They cannot be played back in other modes.

Arpeggios can be played back in any mode.

Songs and Patterns

Songs and Patterns are MIDI sequence data consisting of up to 16 tracks.

A Song on this synthesizer is effectively the same as a Song on a MIDI sequencer, and playback automatically stops at the

end of the recorded data.

In the MO, the term “Pattern” refers to a relatively short musical or rhythmic phrase—1 to 256 measures—which is used for

looped playback. Therefore, once Pattern playback starts, it continues until you press the [■] (Stop) button. This synthesizer

features a variety of preset Phrase data that is used as the basic material in making up Patterns.

■ Song data structure

The following illustration shows the track structure of a Song. Songs are created by recording MIDI sequence data to

individual tracks and by setting tone generator related parameters (in Song Mixing).
