2.2. Select and play a sequence
Important: The sequencer will not run if the sync selection switches are set to something other than
Internal and no external clock is present. Note: Chord mode has limited functionality in Seq mode. We'll
describe how the two work together in section 3.1 [p.25].
2.2.1. Sequencer / Arpeggiator toggle switch
To use the sequencer you must first set the Seq/Arp toggle switch to Seq. The position
marked Arp selects the arpeggiator, which is covered in section 2.3 [p.22]
2.2.2. Sequencer / Arpeggiator Mode encoder
Use the Seq/Arp Mode encoder to select one of the eight available sequences. If the
sequencer is already running, the MIDI Control Center allows you to specify when the next
sequence should start. See chapter 10 for a description. You can record your own music into
any one of the eight sequences; we'll learn how to do this in Chapter 4 [p.41].
2.2.3. Transport control
Press the Play/Pause button and the sequence will start. Press it again to pause the
sequence, and a second time to resume playback from where you stopped. You can also
restart the sequence while it's still running by holding Shift and pressing Play/Pause.
To start a sequence from the beginning, press the Stop button and then press Play again.
