The LinnSequencer
|
||
32 Track MIDI Sequence Recorder
|
||
|
||
The LinnSequencer is a state—of—the-art composition and performance tool for the professional musician. It is
|
||
|
||
extremely powerful, yet amazingly simple to learn and use. It’s many remarkable features include:
|
||
|
||
0 Operation is similar to multi-track tape recorder with PLAY, STOP, RECORD, FAST
|
||
FORWARD, REWIND, and LOCATE controls.
|
||
|
||
0 Each of the 100 sequences contains 32 simultaneous, polyphonic tracks. Each track may
|
||
be assigned to one of 16 MIDI channels. Simultaneously plays up to 16 polyphonic
|
||
|
||
synthesizers !
|
||
|
||
0 Ultra-fast 3 1/2 ” disk drive stores complex songs in seconds and holds over 110,000 notes
|
||
|
||
per disk!
|
||
|
||
0 One or all tracks may be TRANSPOSED at the touch of a key.
|
||
0 Exclusive real—time ERASE function makes editing FAST.
|
||
0 Exclusive REPEAT function automatically repeats any held notes at a pre-selected
|
||
|
||
rhythmic value.
|
||
|
||
0 TIMING CORRECTION works during playback and operates without ‘chopping’ notes.
|
||
|
||
0 Optional SMPTE time code synchronization.
|
||
|
||
0 Optional remote control.
|
||
|
||
Recording a Sequence
|
||
|
||
To record a sequence, simply press RECORD and PLAY,
|
||
then play your MIDI keyboard in time to the Sequencer’s
|
||
click track. When the sequence loops back around to bar 1,
|
||
you’ll hear what you played—only all timing errors will be
|
||
|
||
corrected! (Timing correction may be adjusted 0r defeated).
|
||
|
||
Any additional notes played will be added into the track
|
||
—existing notes are not erased while recording!
|
||
|
||
FAST FORWARD, REWIND, and LOCATE controls
|
||
may be used at any time to quickly access any location in
|
||
your sequence for spot-recording. To overdub a new part,
|
||
select a different track and start recording—while you
|
||
record, the first‘track will play in perfect sync (unless you
|
||
MUTE it, or SOLO another track). In this way, up to 32
|
||
tracks may be overdubbed! All MIDI effects are recorded
|
||
including pitch bend, modulation, velocity, aftertouch,
|
||
sustain pedal, and program changes!
|
||
|
||
Editing
|
||
|
||
To erase a wrong note, simply hold ERASE and press
|
||
the note to be erased just before it plays in the sequence-—
|
||
when played back, it will be gone. Notes may also be
|
||
|
||
added, erased, or changed using the SINGLE STEP func-
|
||
tion. To overdub notes at specific points within a sequence,
|
||
|
||
Additional Features
|
||
|
||
simply use LOCATE, FAST FORWARD, or REWIND to
|
||
find the desired bar number, then start recording.
|
||
|
||
The INSERT/ COPY function allows you to move bars
|
||
from one location to another—in the same sequence or a
|
||
different one. For example, you might insert a copy of the
|
||
first verse between the second chorus and the bridge.
|
||
DELETE BARS operates the same way to remove
|
||
unwanted sections.
|
||
|
||
Creating a Song
|
||
|
||
One way to create a song is to record each track all the
|
||
way through (up to 999 bars). Another way is to record
|
||
each basic section (verse, chorus, etc.) in individual
|
||
sequences, then use the CREATE SONG function to “chain”
|
||
them together. CREATE SONG will then automatically
|
||
copy all the parts into a new sequence. If desired, you can
|
||
even set the last few bars to repeat infinitely, for a fadeout.
|
||
|
||
Composition Without Compromise
|
||
|
||
The technology you use should never be so complex that
|
||
it interferes with the creative process. That’s precisely why
|
||
the LinnSequencer is designed to let you compose, record
|
||
and edit while devoting your undivided attention to your
|
||
music. See your Linn dealer today for a demonstration!
|
||
|
||
0 Simple, easy to learn operation—the 32 character LCD display clearly guides you through all operations. If needed, the
|
||
|
||
HELP button displays additional explanations.
|
||
|
||
0 Non-destructive recording—existing notes are not erased while recording.
|
||
0 Two FOOTSWIT CH INPUTS may be assigned to remotely control many of the commonly used functions, including
|
||
|
||
ERASE, REPEAT, PLAY/ STOP, or LOCATE.
|
||
|
||
0 Two TRIGGER OUTPUTS may be programmed to output pulses at any selected note value.
|
||
|
||
0 Will sync to standard LinnDrum or Linn 9000 sync tone.
