Pattern
This knob selects between the 8 patterns.
Play Mode
This selects between PLAY, OFF and RECORD.
•
Play
- In Play mode, the sequencer will play based on the
Keymode
.
Keymode
is
set in the MicroBrute editor software.
•
Off
– This turns the Sequencer Off.
•
Record
– This puts the sequencer into Record mode. This will allow you to record
over an existing sequence. If you move the switch to Record but then realize that
you do not want to write over the current sequence, you can either move the
switch back to OFF or select the sequence that you want to record over with the
Pattern Knob. When you record your first note/rest, then you have written over
the current sequence.
Rate
The
Rate
knob sets the sequencer’s clock rate from 30 bpm to 260 bpm. The red LED
under the knob blinks in sync with the tempo beat.
•
Internal Sync
- With the Sync set to internal the
Tempo
knob acts as expected —
its position sets the general BPM value. The Sync mode can be set using the
MicroBrute Editor software.
•
External sync - The
Rate
knob acts differently if MicroBrute detects an external MIDI
clock on the
MIDI Input
or
USB
connector:
An external MIDI clock will turn the Rate control into a time division control, where it
acts as a performance-oriented divider/multiplier. Fully counterclockwise will set the
sequencer to play back notes at 1 note per measure, at the fastest, clock-wise
setting, it will play the steps back at 1/32
nd
notes.
Divisions are: 1 measure, ½ note, ¼ note, 1/8
th
, 1/16
th
, 1/32nd.
