FEATURES AND OUTLINE OF THE SUPER- MRC Unlike a tape recorder, a sequencer does not record "sound" itself. It MIDI messages, which are data necessary for playing MIDI sound sources. MIDI messages are digitally controlled, therefore, you can benefit records from various editing functions which a tape recorder docs not feature. For instance, each note of a chord can be edited separately, that mistakes you have edited later. Also, made in is, any your performance during recording can be you can change pitch without changing tempo during playback. -A Review A MIDI One of sequencer is similar to a multi- track the advantages of a sequencer is recorder that each (MIR). note can be edited separately.

This Basic Course manual explains only real-time recording of a melody part and chord part, and easy step recording of bass part using a MIDI keyboard. *You l)Real can use both real-time and step recording for one part. time recording faithfully records what you actually play on the external MIDI keyboard. 2)Step recording enters each note message (pitch, note length and volume) on a score by operating the panel control on the MC, or from an external MIDI keyboard, etc. This may be suitable for the person who I is not confident of his playing ability. Recording into the Rhythm Track To a rhythm part, you should make many bars of different rhythm patterns, and place those patterns, and rest patterns, in the rhythm track.
