Sequence an Effect

From the Main screen, select an effect to sequence by touching the grid cell.
2.
Push the
INFO
button twice to display the Step Sequencer screen. A box outline
moves across the grid to represent the currently playing step of the sequencer.
The number of boxes the sequencer moves through is controlled by the
Steps
parameter. The time spent in each box is controlled by the
Length
parameter.
The sequencer starts in the lower left corner, moves across to the right, and then
moves up to the next row.
3.
Touch the grid boxes on the screen to enable and disable the gate for the effect
on each step. The effect is enabled for the step when the grid box is highlighted
blue.
4.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 for other effects as desired.
On the Main screen, you can see the Step Sequencer in action by watching the blue bars that appear below the effects grid
cells when the sequencer enables the effect. You can have a different step sequence for each preset.
