Sequencer Block
This lets you create Songs and Patterns by recording and editing your performances as MIDI data (from the controller
block), allowing you to play the data back with the tone generator block.
Sequencer block in the Song mode
A Song is created by recording your keyboard performance as MIDI sequence data to individual
Tracks. A Song on this synthesizer is effectively the same as a Song on a MIDI sequencer, and playback
automatically stops at the end of the recorded data.
A Song consists of 16 separate Tracks, a Scene Track, and a Tempo Track. You can record these Tracks
by using Realtime recording or Step recording (page 79). Moreover, you can insert or edit the recorded
data using Song Edit (page 84).
Sequence Tracks 1 – 16
Lets you record MIDI data.
Scene Track
Lets you record Scene change settings, such as Track mute and solo. These can be set in the Song
Play display (page 76) and recalled during Song playback. During Song playback, the Track mute and
solo settings change automatically according to the settings you’ve recorded to the Scene Track.
Tempo Track
Lets you record Tempo change settings. During Song playback, the Tempo changes automatically
according to the settings you’ve recorded to this Track.
This function allows Songs to be “chained” together for automatic sequential playback. You can set the
playback order in Song Play (page 76).
Sequencer block in the Pattern mode
In the MOXF6/MOXF8, the term “Pattern” refers to a relatively short musical or rhythmic Phrase—1 to
256 measures—which is used for looped playback. Therefore, once Pattern playback starts, it
continues until you press the [ ] (Stop) button.
Patterns are more than just a single Phrase—they include 16 variations called “Sections.” These
Sections can be changed during playback and used as rhythmic/backing variations for the various
parts of a Song. For example, you could use one Section for the verse, another for the chorus, and a
third for the bridge. The Pattern related settings such as tempo and Mixing do not change even when
the Section is switched, keeping the overall playback consistent in feel and rhythm through the
changes. You can use the Section function as a convenient compositional tool, instantly creating the
backing Pattern variations for a Song, such as melody A, melody B, and main theme. For instructions on
changing Patterns and Sections, see the MOXF6/MOXF8 Owner’s Manual.
