Playing the NAUTILUS

Using the sequencer

Playing the demo songs
The NAUTILUS comes preloaded with demo songs by
factory default. Start off by playing these demo songs back
and giving them a listen.
1. Press the MODE button to select SEQUENCER
mode.
At this time, if you have not done anything since turning on
the power while in SEQUENCER mode, the display will
show the Home– Mixer page.
If this page is not shown, press the EXIT button several times.
SEQUENCER START/STOP button
Let's start by listening to song S000.
2. Verify that song S000 is selected.
3. Press the SEQUENCER START/STOP button.
4. If you want to stop playback mid-way through the
song, press the START/STOP button once again.
Adding MIDI track
The NAUTILUS can record what you play as both MIDI
tracks and audio tracks. First, we'll show you how to record
a MIDI track.
1. Turn off the Multi REC check-box, in the upper right
of the display.
Track Select
2. Select "MIDI Track 07" using "Track Select," which
is to the right of the song name. This parameter selects
the track to play on the keyboard and the track that
will be recorded (when "Multi REC" is off).
3. In "Program Select," select the program for track 7.
4. Press SEQUENCER LOCATE button to go back to
the start of the Song.

Editing MIDI
You can modify your performance after recording, if you
wish. For instance, you can erase misplayed notes, or correct
their pitch and timing.
For details, refer to "Detailed Program Editing" of the OG.
Adding an audio track
Continuing from above, let's record an audio overdub.
1. Connect a dynamic microphone, guitar, bass, other
synth, etc. to analog audio INPUT 1.
For more details on connecting different types of mics and
guitars, see "Examples of audio track recording" of the OG.
2. When the mic is connected, press the AUDIO IN
button while holding down the SHIFT button to
display the Analog Input Setup dialog box, and set the
"Input Select" parameter to "Mic." If a device other
than a mic is connected, select "Line."
3. Press the the AUDIO IN button.
4. While watching the meter, set the Analog Input Gain
slider to the maximum level range that the volume will
reach before clipping. If the signal clips, the message
"ADC OVERLOAD!" will appear on the meter.
5. Go to the Mixer tab of the SEQUENCER > Home
page. Press Audio 1-8.
6. Turn the Multi REC check-box on again.
7. Press the Status Play/Mute tab on the left side of the
display. Press Track 1's Mute button once, so that it
turns red and says REC.
Note that the Input is already set to 1 by default.
Next, we need to set the level.
8. Press the Recording Setup tab to enter Recording
Setup. This page contains a level meter for the audio
tracks that can be recorded.
9. While watching the meter, set the LEVEL slider to the
maximum level range that the volume will reach
before clipping. If the signal clips, the message
"CLIP!" will appear on the meter.
10.Press LOCATE button to go back to the start of the
Song.
11.Press SEQUENCER REC button to enable recording,
and then press SEQUENCER START/STOP button
to start.
12.Play what you'd like to record, and then press
SEQUENCER START/STOP button when you're done.
For details on how to save a song, see "Saving data" on page 12.
Un-saved audio files
After recording an audio track, the song will automatically
be saved when you power down the NAUTILUS. However,
if you turn off the power while recording or do not turn off
the power correctly, only the audio file may be left on the
internal drive. You can restore the remaining audio file
(WAVE file) and use it in a new song.
