Yamaha MO8 sequencing?

What you're describing is the very basics of every workstation keyboard.

What you want is simply an option to program your own sounds/performances and set them in a specific order.

MO can do that, and it has 2 user banks where you can store your own programs, plus 2 user banks to store user performances (up to 4 programs mixed/layered together).

Now the master mode on yamaha keyboards is something other brands don't have, and is very usefull.

Basically it offers you the ability to store your own programs/performances/patters/whatever in order without having to switch between keyboard modes.

For example... you need a piano for the first song, some massive string/pad/lead performance (combi on Korg keyboards) for the second song, and lets say some hammonds with a pattern you'll trigger on specific parts of the third song.

On any other keyboard you'd have to go to Program/Voice mode for the first song, then switch to Combi/Performance mode for the second song, and finally, go to sequencing mode for the third song...

On Yamaha keyboards, you just store all that into a master mode. That way you can just press the INC button or the pedal to swtich the modes from master mode.

Very simple, and very usefull.

So yea - the MO can do what you need.

P.S. Sequencing is the part where you have up to 16 sounds in a mix, which you use to record your own song. And yes - the MO can do that too
