There are three methods of recording MIDI data

1. Internal Sequencer

• New feature with Classic Control Computer Version 6 and above
• It is a simple, but convenient, sequencer built into the combination-action system, which may be used to record and play performances. Although relatively simple, it has many useful features.
• It is controlled primarily via three Lighted Reversible pistons labeled “PLAY”, “PAUSE/FILE MODE” and “RECORD”, and is intended to be quick and easy to use via on-screen messages in the organ’s vacuum-fluorescent display.

2. Stand-alone Sequencer

• A device attached to the console specifically for making and playing MIDI recordings
• Has limited editing and file-management capabilities

3. PC/Mac-based Sequencer

• This is the most powerful approach because the editing features are vast and convenient graphic-user interface
• Needs to be able to record and play back MIDI System Exclusive messages in real time
