ing and holding the [TRIG] key of the note trig you want to micro edit, then press either the
left or right [ARROW] button.
TRIG COUNT sets the number of times the note trig should be repeated. Adjust this setting
with the up and down [ARROW] keys.
TRIG OFFSET decides where the note trig should be placed on the 1/384 step resolution
micro timing grid. Move the note trig on the grid by pressing the left and right [ARROW]
buttons. A note trig can be nudged both forwards and backwards in time in relation to the
step it is placed on.
•
If a note trig placed on the first sequencer step is nudged backwards, it will be
activated at the end of the pattern.
•
Setting the tempo to 2x in the SCALE SETUP menu will double the resolution of
the micro timing grid.
SCALE SETUP
Here the general length and timing of a pattern is set. Each pattern can have its own scale
settings. Two general modes exist, NORMAL and PER TRACK. Access the SCALE
SETUP menu by pressing
[FUNCTION] + [PATTERN PAGE] .
NORMAL
In this mode the all tracks of the pattern share the same length and time signature. By
default a pattern is 4/4 bars (16 steps) of length. The maximum length of a pattern is 64
steps.
PATTERN SCALE sets the number of steps in a pattern and thus the total amount of pat-
tern pages. The leftmost number selects the number of steps in the pattern. The maximum
number of steps available is determined by the total length, set by the rightmost parameter.
This can be either 16, 32, 48 or 64 steps. If you use 17 steps or more in a pattern, the
[PAT-
TERN PAGE] key is used in GRID RECORDING mode to toggle the focus between the dif-
ferent pattern pages.
TEMPO MULTIPLIER offers seven possible settings, 1/8X, 1/4X, 1/2X, 3/4X, 1X, 3/2X and
2X. A setting of 1/8X will play back the pattern at one eight of the original tempo. 3/4X plays
the pattern back at three quarters of the global tempo. 3/2X will play back the track twice as
