Section 10 — Understanding the Sequencer TS-10 Musician’s Manual

A sequence has a fixed length (though you can change it at any time) which is set by the length of

the first track you record. A given sequence can be as short or as long as you like (within the

limitations of memory).

Each sequence has an eleven-character name which you assign to it at the time of its creation.

The name can be changed at any time from the Info sub-page of the Edit Sequence page.

When you select a new sequence, each track used within a sequence will send out a MIDI

program change and MIDI volume instructions on its designated MIDI channel, unless the track

has been assigned ----/RECV only status — in which case you can have the new track play a new

internal sound.

What is a Song?

In Song Mode, sequences are assigned to play consecutively in any order, with up to 99 Steps, and

up to 99 Repetitions of each Step. Within each Song Step, individual tracks within the sequence

can be muted or transposed.

But a Song on the TS-10 is much more than just as collection of sequences playing in order. This

is because each song has an additional set of 12 tracks which are completely independent of the

tracks in its component sequences.

Each Song Track has its own sound program and a full set of track/performance parameters, just

like a sequence track. The length of the song tracks is defined by the combined length of the

steps and repetitions which make up the song. Song tracks are selected from the Seq/Song

Tracks 1-6 and 7-12 pages when a song is selected.

This means that after you’ve completed a number of sequences and linked them together to form

a song, you have 12 more linear tracks which run the entire length of the song. This gives you 24

tracks to work with.

Sequencer “Transport Controls”

The three buttons at the bottom of the Sequencer section serve to start, stop and continue the

sequencer, and to put it into Record and Overdub modes. In addition to these three buttons,

either of the Foot Switches can be assigned to function just like the transport control buttons,

when both hands are busy.

Assuming the Autopunch function is off:

• Pressing Play will start the current sequence or song (whichever is selected) playing from the

beginning.

• Any Foot Switch assigned to PLAY/STOP will duplicate the behavior of alternate presses of

the Play button and the Stop/Continue button.

• Pressing Stop/Continue will stop the sequencer (if pressed while it is running); or will play the

current sequence or song from wherever it was last stopped (if pressed while the sequencer is

stopped).

• Any Foot Switch assigned to STOP/CONT will duplicate the behavior of the Stop/Continue

button.
