If you made a mistake or want to re-record, you can
use the Compare function (press the COMPARE
switch) to re-record as many times as you want.

(The Multi REC check box will be unchecked when
you use Compare, so you will need to check it
again.)

Recording multiple MIDI tracks from an external sequencer

1. Make sure that the MIDI OUT of your external

sequencer is connected to the MIDI IN of the
OASYS.
If it is not connected, turn off the power, make the
connection, and then turn the power on.

For more information, see “MIDI applications” on
page 1001 of the Parameter Guide.

2. In the Global P1: MIDI– MIDI page, set MIDI

Clock to External MIDI. With this setting, the
OASYS will synchronize to MIDI clock messages
from your external sequencer.
Make sure that Receive Ext. Realtime Commands is
checked.

3. Create a new song in Sequencer mode, and in the

P0: Play/REC– Preference page, check the Multi
REC check box. Set Recording Setup to Overwrite.

4. Press Play/Rec/Mute to select “REC” for the tracks

you want to record.

For the tracks you don’t want to record, select Play
or Mute.

Tip: You can also control the Play/Rec/Mute setting
from the front panel mixer section, or from the P0–
Control Surface page of the LCD screen. (See p.42
“The control surface in Sequencer mode”)

5. In the P2: Track Parameters– MIDI page, use MIDI

Channel to specify the MIDI channel of each
track.
Set the MIDI channel of each OASYS track to match
the MIDI channel of each external sequencer track.
Data of the matching channel will be recorded on
each OASYS track.

Make sure that Status is set to INT or BTH.

6. Press the LOCATE switch to set the location to

001:01.000.

7. Press the SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch to

enter record-standby mode.

8. Start your external sequencer.

The OASYS’ sequencer will automatically begin
recording when it receives the MIDI Start message
transmitted by your external sequencer.

9. When playback has ended, stop your external

sequencer.
The OASYS’ sequencer will automatically stop
recording when it receives the MIDI Stop message
transmitted by the external sequencer. You can also
stop recording by pressing the SEQUENCER
START/STOP switch of the OASYS.

After this, you can play back the newly recorded
sequence:
