Playback

In order to play back song data in the sequencer, you
must first record song data, or load or dump it into the
OASYS.

Let’s start by loading and playing the demo song data.
For more information, see “Listening to the demo
songs” on page 4.

1. Press the MODE SEQ switch.

The P0: Play/Rec– MIDI Track Program
Select/Mixer page will appear. If it does not, press
the EXIT switch and then press the MIDI
Prog/Mixer tab.

2. Use “Song Select” to select the song you want to

play back.
You can press the Song Select Popup button and
choose from a list.

3. Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch.

The song you selected in step 2 will begin playing.

Note: The song will begin playing if you press the
SEQUENCER START/STOP switch in a page other
than P5: Pattern/RPPR. If you press this switch
while you’re in P5: Pattern/RPPR, the currently-
selected pattern will begin playing.

4. During playback, you can press the SEQUENCER

START/STOP switch to stop playback.
If you press the START/STOP switch once again,
playback will resume from where you stopped.

• Press the LOCATE switch to move to the assigned

location.

• Press the PAUSE switch to pause playback. Press

the PAUSE switch once again to resume playback.

• Press the <> switches to rewind or

fast-forward. You can use this during playback or
while stopped.
You can use the “FF/REW SPEED” page menu
command to specify the rewind and fast-forward
speeds.

• To set the tempo, turn the TEMPO knob or press

the TAP TEMPO switch at the desired interval.

Muting just a specific track/Monitoring
just a specific track (Mute/Solo functions)

The OASYS provides a Mute function that lets you
silence any of the MIDI tracks 1–16, audio tracks 1–16,
or audio inputs (1, 2, 3, 4, S/P DIF L, R), and a Solo
function that lets you play back any track by itself.
These functions can be used in various ways. For
example you can intentionally mute or solo specific

tracks, or listen only to the rhythm section of the
previously-recorded tracks while you record new
tracks. Let’s try out the Mute and Solo functions.

1. Use “Song Select” to select the song that you want

to play back.

2. Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP switch.
3. Press track 1 Play/Rec/Mute.

The display will change from Play to Mute, and the
playback of track 1 will no longer be heard. In this
