26. MOD SEQ-A

(Modulation Sequencer)

These are the parameters for the Modulation Sequencers. Modulation sequencers apply time-varying change to the sound parameters in a way
similar to the analog sequencers of the past. One modulation sequencer is provided for each timbre.

Knob [1]

LastStep

[01…16]

Specifies the length of the sequence in steps
(i.e., the maximum number of steps).

Knob [2]

SeqType (Sequence Type)

[Forward…One Shot]

Specifies the sequence type (the direction
in which the sequence will play).

Forward:

Play from the first step (Step01).

(

☞Figure 26-1)

Reverse:

Play from the last step (the step

number specified by “Last Step”) in reverse
(

☞Figure 26-2).

Alt1:

Alternately play in Forward and Re-

verse directions. Alt 1 immediately
changes direction at the end points, so the
first step and last steps are played only
once per loop (

☞Figure 26-3).

Alt2:

Alternately play in Forward and Re-

verse directions. Alt 2 plays the first step
and the last step on both the way up and
on the way down, so these steps will be
played twice per loop (

☞Figure 26-3).

One Shot:

The sequence will play for only

one cycle, and will maintain the value of
the last step.

Knob [3]

KeySync

[Off, Timbre, Voice]

Specifies how the sequence will be reset
when note-on occurs (i.e., when a key is
played).

Off:

The sequence will not be reset when

note-on occurs.

Timbre:

The sequence will be reset when

the first note-on occurs for a timbre from a
condition of all keys being released. In the
case of a program for which different re-
gions of the keyboard play different tim-
bres (i.e., a split program), the reset will
occur for the timbre that was played by the
note-on.

Voice:

The sequence will be individually

reset by each new note-on that occurs.

Knob [4]

Resolutn (Resolution)

[1/48…1/1]

Specifies the playback speed of the se-
quence relative to the tempo (MIDI clock)
specified by the [TEMPO] knob. The se-
quence will advance by one step for each
note value you specify here, relative to the
tempo. For example if you set this to 1/4,
the sequence will advance one step for each
quarter note.
