Sequencer
Standard MIDI Files and MP3
Reference
The Sequencer operating mode is the full-featured onboard
sequencer, where you can create a Song from scratch, or edit it.
You can also use this mode to edit the initial parameters of a
Standard MIDI File, either made with an external sequencer or
with Pa300’s own sequencer.
You can save the new or edited Song as a Standard MIDI File
(SMF, i.e., a file with the “.MID” extension), and play it back
either in Song Play or Sequencer mode – or on any external
sequencer.
Standard MIDI Files and MP3
The Songs and the Standard MIDI File format
The native Song format for Pa300 is the Standard MIDI File
(“.MID” file).
When saving a Song as a SMF, a setup measure is automatically
inserted at the beginning of the Song. This measure contains
various Song initialization parameters.
When an SMF is loaded, the setup measure is automatically
skipped.
Sequencer mode and the MP3
While in Sequencer mode, you cannot load nor record MP3
files. This mode only allows for editing of the Standard MIDI
Files.
Sequencer Play - Main page
Press the SEQUENCER button to access this page from another
operating mode. In this page you can load a Song, and play it
back using the PLAYER transport controls.
Note: When switching from Style Play to Sequencer mode, the
Sequencer Setup is automatically selected, and various track
parameters may change.
To return to this page from any of the Sequencer edit pages,
press the EXIT or SEQUENCER button.
To switch between Song tracks 1-8 and 9-16, use the TRACK
SELECT button.
