9.3. Creating a sequence
♪
: The sequencer will not run if the
selection is set to something other than INT and no
external clock is present.
There are three things you must do when you want to create a sequence:
• Move the Seq / Arp toggle switch to the Seq position
• Select a sequence location with the Seq / Arp Mode encoder
• If a sequence is already running, press the Stop button.
MiniBrute 2 provides two ways to input notes into your sequences: a step at a time or in real
time. We’ll go through those options next.
9.3.1. Step-time recording
This may be the best place to start while you are learning to work with the sequencer. At the
most basic level, all you have to do to create a sequence is:
• Press the Record button
Note
:
the next step will erase the existing sequence.
• Play a series of notes, one key at a time
• When you’re done, press the Stop button.
♪
: You must lift all fingers between each step in order for the sequence steps to advance. If you do
not lift every finger first you will keep adding notes to the same sequence step.
To hear your sequence, press the Play button. The results could be something like this:
♪
: The Time Div value is ignored during step recording; it only affects sequence playback.
9.3.1.1. Entering rests
The spaces that sometimes happen between notes are called “rests”. If you want to add
rests while creating a sequence, MiniBrute 2 provides an easy way to do it.
Take a look at the Tap / Rest button:
