Sequencing a Phrase Pad Performance
Activating Phrase Sequence Mode
1. Hold down SHIFT, and press PHRASE PAD PLAY•PHRASE SEQ:
• the button lights solid red to show that the phrase sequencer is
now turned on.
• the PHRASE PAD buttons are amber for each track channel
whose PhrPAD parameter is turned on.

The PHRASE SEQ STATUS Buttons
The PHRASE SEQ STATUS buttons set the behavior of the phrase
sequencer’s tracks—each PHRASE SEQ STATUS button controls the
corresponding sequencer track. Every time you press a PHRASE SEQ
STATUS button, its color—and the state of the sequencer track it
controls—changes. When a PHRASE SEQ STATUS button is:
•
amber
—you can manually play the sequencer track’s phrase pad.
•
red
—the sequencer track is armed for recording. When the
sequencer’s recording, anything you play on its PHRASE PAD
button is recorded (or “written”) onto the sequencer track.
•
green
—the sequencer track is set to play back (or “read”) anything
recorded on it.
Playing the Pads in Phrase Sequence Mode
To play a phrase pad along with your hard disk recorder tracks in Phrase Sequence
mode, set its PHRASE SEQ STATUS button as follows:
• When you want to play along without recording into the phrase sequencer, press
the pad’s PHRASE SEQ STATUS until it’s lit amber.
• To record your phrase pad performance onto its corresponding sequencer track,
press the pad’s PHRASE SEQ STATUS button until it’s lit red.
When a phrase sequencer track’s PHRASE SEQ STATUS button is red, its pad plays
only when the phrase sequencer is actually recording.
