Step Sequencer
Signature Mode: Signature (time
signature) mode specifies the start/stop
behavior of loop playback through the
following options:
Off: Signature settings have no effect.
Auto Restart:
The Step Sequencer
starts from the beginning using the bar/
beat settings configured under
Signature.
This is independent of whether Step Loop
is enabled or not.
Auto Stop: The Step Sequencer stops at
the end of the bar configured under
Signature, even if the total of the step
lengths adjusted under
Length exceeds
the bar length.
Signature: These two values define the
number of beats in the loop (bar), and the
value of a beat (see
Signature Mode). They
represent the time signature of the loop.
Center Key: This is the MIDI note number
that starts the sequence without any
transposition. When notes other than this
are received, the sequence is transposed
according to the note received relative to
this one.
Hold: Push this button in order to have
the sequence continue to play after the
key is released. Push it again to stop the
sequence. You can achieve a similar
result using the hold pedal: the sequence
plays as long as the pedal is held and
stops when the pedal is released. The
control message sent by the hold pedal
is „absorbed“ by the sequencer and is not
passed along to the synthesizer which the
sequencer is playing.
