The
Seq Ctl
pages contain overall settings for the sequence, such as
sequence length and rate. There are three sub-pages here, turn encoder
9
to move between them.
START, LEN:
Sets the starting step and pattern length within the
maximum sequence length for that part.
DIR:
Direction: Forwards, backwards, alternate with or without repeating
the ends, or run randomly.
RESET:
Sets the sequence to reset automatically, every
n
beats, or
externally (
EXT
). For external reset, see
Tips & Tricks
on page 16.
RATE, MODE:
The default rate for sequences is set using common
musical divisions (
MDV
), but there are several alternate modes:
MDV
: Musical Division
X16
,
X8T
,
X8
: Crossfade modes
PCT
: % of a beat
P16
,
P8T
,
P8
: Phase modes.
SPD
: Speed, higher is faster.
1/1
-
16/16
: Fractions of a beat.
4
The
X
and
P
modes are phase-based, where the rate deviates (faster or
slower) from a default rate of 16th, 8th note triplets or 8th notes. The
X
modes have a wider range than the
P
modes.
OCT & TRANS:
Add an octave or semitone transposition to all notes.
Sequence Controls: Page 2
VEL VAR, TIM VAR:
Add random variations to velocity and timing (groove).
KEY, SCALE:
Override the global settings for key and scale.
TIP: The master tempo for the Vector, and the default key and scale
settings for all parts are in
Globals
.
GEN:
Sets the algorithm for pattern generation. See
Generate & Evolve
on page 8 for details.
EVO:
Set the amount of change the evolve operation has: Low, Medium or
High.
Sequence Controls: Page 3
CC 1-3:
Sets the CC numbers for the three CC lanes in the Velocity pages.
PQNT:
Preset Quantization, sets whether presets change immediately, on
the next beat, or on the next bar.
