USING INITIAL SETUP SEND WITH A SEQUENCER The most common use for the Initial Setup Send function is in recording a song on a sequencer that is intended for playback with the PortaTone. Essentially, this takes a "snapshot" of the PortaTone settings and sends that data to the sequencer. By recording this "snapshot" at the start of the song (before any actual performance data), you can instantly restore the necessary settings on the PortaTone. Provided there is a pause in the song, you could also do this in the middle of a song - for example, completely changing the PortaTone settings for the next section of the song. Sending Initial Setup Data 1 First, set up the sequencer for recording. The actual procedure may differ depending on your particular equipment and software. Ideally, you should leave two or more measures of silence (no performance data) before the song begins. The Initial Setup data should then be recorded to this space in the song. 108 106
