Sequencer Remote Control
The Sequencer Remote Control is just what its name implies. Tell your sequencer to play, stop, rewind, continue, fast forward, loop, or go to an allocution point. This user friendly MIDItool is great for drummers or guitar players needing to lay down tracks or start a song. Use it in loop mode to practice difficult passages...

HOW DO I...

...PREPARE MY SEQUENCER?

...CONFIGURE THE REMOTE CONTROL FOR MY SEQUENCE?

...STOP THE SEQUENCER?
Press the STOP key. The LCD gives the last song measure and beat.

...SHUTTLE THE SEQUENCER TO A SPECIFIC MEASURE?
While stopped, the user can move to any measure using the +/- keys and/or the VALUE fader. Song position can be set to any measure between 1-256. Fader function is indicated by the FADER LEDs.

...CONTINUE PLAYBACK FROM THE CURRENT MEASURE?
Press the CONT key. The sequence will play from the current measure. While playing, tempo can be adjusted with the +/- keys. The LCD gives the current song position.

...USE THE MARKER TO SAVE A MEASURE NUMBER?
At any time, pressing the MARK key will save the current song measure number for jumping or looping. The LCD gives the number of the marked measure.

...JUMP TO THE MARKED MEASURE AND CONTINUE PLAYBACK?
While the sequencer is stopped, press the JUMP key. The sequencer will jump to the marked measure and resume playback.
