Note that the mutations are cumulative so once a note has been mutated the following
mutation will apply to the mutated version. Also, to reset a mutation on a note, the key must
be released and trigged again (and won't reset the mutation for the other notes).
14.2.4. Copy Arp to Sequencer
The Arpeggiator is a fun and creative way to come up with new ideas for melodies and the
MiniFreak allows you to expand on that by transferring the Arp content to the sequencer to
tailor it further to your liking or recall it on a later occasion.
To do so, long Press the Record button while in Arp mode to clear the Sequence and replace
it with the current content of the Arp. Note that you need to have notes currently playing on
the Arp mode to be able to use this feature.
14.3. Sequencer
Such a powerful polyphonic synthesizer as the MiniFreak would not be truly complete
without an equally capable sequencer allowing you to integrate the Freak in a live setting as
well as facilitate its operation in larger setups. Running from either internal or external clock
the sequencer offers many possibilities to push your MiniFreak into new territories.
The MiniFreak can store one sequence per preset in which the tempo, time division, swing,
as well as Gate and Spice are also saved.
In Stop Mode the sequencer can also be used and here's a few things to note :
• Pressing a key will start the seq and transpose it to the key.
• Play button blinks.
• Pressing another key will change the transposition.
• Releasing all keys will stop the playback.
• If pressing Play button while it blinks, it will light solid and you can let the keys
go.
Now let's take a look to the Sequencer in Play mode .
To activate the sequencer press the
Seq
button in the mode section :
Once the Seq is in Play mode, using Shift + Key will transpose the pattern to the key. The
transposition is however not saved within the preset.
