1.2.1 Drum section
This section is used to produce rhythm parts. The Track knobs and Drum keys are used to control the seven Drum tracks (KICK, SNARE, CLAP, HAT 1, HAT 2, PERC 1, PERC 2). The most basic method of producing a rhythm part is to use the Drum keys to enter steps. Press a Track knob to select that track, and then press a Drum key to place a sound on the time axis. This makes it easy to produce beats. 1.2.2 Synth section
This section is used to produce melody parts. The Track knobs and Synth keys are used to control the three Synth tracks (SYNTH 1, SYNTH 2, and DX) and the SAMPLER track. The most basic method of performance and production is to use the Synth keys for real-time input. Press a Track knob to select that track, and then press a Synth key to play a note on the scale. 1.2.3 Sound Design & FX section
This section is used to change the sound of individual tracks, adjust parameters, and manipulate effects. The Sound Design knobs are used to select sounds and adjust detailed parameters. One track effect can be applied to each track and a shared master effect can be applied to all tracks. 1.3 Projects, Tracks, and Patterns
1.3.1 Projects
SEQTRAK manages the data of a single song in units called “projects.” Up to eight projects can be stored in SEQTRAK, and one project can be used at a single time. A project consists of 11 tracks, and up to 6 patterns can be created on each track. A project also includes settings and states such as tempo and track volume.
1.3.2 Tracks
A track is a component of a project, and is a performance part to which a single sound is assigned.
1.3.3 Patterns
Patterns are phrases that are played in a loop. You can choose one pattern for each track, from up to six available patterns. You can play the same phrase repeatedly or switch between them at any time you like. The patterns on the 11 tracks will continue to play on top of each other until playback is stopped.

Firmware Updates

The firmware can be updated to improve the functionality and operability of SEQTRAK. We recommend that you update your firmware to the latest version in order to enjoy the full functionality of SEQTRAK. You can choose from the following three methods of updating the firmware. Note that the firmware should be updated only after SEQTRAK has been fully charged. You can check the installed firmware version from the SEQTRAK app.
16.1 Using a USB Flash Drive
The firmware can be updated with an update file stored on a USB flash drive. See the downloads page on the following website for a list of supported USB flash drives.
https://www.yamaha.com/2/seqtrak/
To update the firmware with a USB flash drive, the USB flash drive must be formatted. If the USB flash drive to be used for a firmware update contains data, transfer that data to another USB flash drive or computer, and then format the flash drive. NOTICE

• The format operation erases any existing files. Make sure that the USB flash drive you are formatting does not contain any important files.
• Do not remove or insert a USB flash drive while it is being formatted or during a firmware update. Doing so could cause the unit to stop functioning or damage the USB flash drive and/or files.
• Wait a few seconds between inserting and removing a USB flash drive.
• Do not use USB extension cables to connect a USB flash drive; connect it directly.

16.1.1 Formatting a USB flash drive
Hold down the [DX] knob and the [UNDO/REDO] button and turn on SEQTRAK to format the connected USB flash drive. When formatting is complete, all index light in white. When formatting is complete, press the [ /PLAY] button to turn off the power. 16.1.2 Updating the firmware

1. Use a computer or other device to download the latest SEQTRAK firmware from the downloads page on the following website.
   https://www.yamaha.com/2/seqtrak/

2. Save the update file (8Z33OS_.PGM) in the downloaded .zip file to the USB flash drive.

3. Turn off the power to SEQTRAK.

4. Connect the USB flash drive that contains the update file to SEQTRAK.
