On the
Rec
page, you can enter or modify sequences using the built-in
one-octave keyboard, a Launchpad, any USB MIDI Class-compliant
host or device, or, if you have the Jack Expander module attached, a
MIDI keyboard connected via a traditional 5-pin MIDI cable.
There are 3 parameters here. The first one turns
REC
mode on and off.
This setting is global for all Parts on the Vector. This means you can
have
REC
mode running for more than one Part.
The second parameter sets the
REC MODE
for the current Part. These
modes are listed below. The third param sets the
REC SOURCE
.
The right OLED will change based on the recording mode you have
selected. The recording modes are:
OFF:
No recording activity for this Part.
STEP:
MIDI notes are used to program the pitch values for each step
of the sequence one by one. The 2nd OLED will display the notes
being programmed, but you can also switch to the Pitch page to see
them as well. The next step to be programmed will be highlighted,
this highlight is called the ‘cursor’. You can move the cursor with
Encoder 9. On the
Pitch
page, use
Shift+Encoder 9
to move the
cursor.
STEP REC
is avalable for Mono and Chord parts. It is
particularly useful for programming in custom chords.
ST+T:
Step+Thru: This mode combines step recording, and the
behavior of the
THRU
mode described below.
TRANS:
Incoming MIDI notes are used to transpose the sequence.
MIDI note number 60 is used as the center point.
THRU:
Incoming MIDI notes are sent directly to the outputs for the
current part, both CV and MIDI, they also override any notes generated
by the sequence for this Part. Use this mode to have the Vector act as
a MIDI to CV converter. In this mode, the 2nd OLED displays a log of
the incoming MIDI message.
RT-G:
Realtime Grid: This mode is available for Mono and Drum parts.
As the sequence is playing, pitch values will be assigned to steps as
you play them on the source keyboard. For a Mono Part, if you hold a
note across steps, the Vector will tie the gates for those steps togther.
The
SRC
param sets which MIDI Source to use:
VKBD:
The one octave keyboard on the Vector.
USBA:
The USB A ‘to device’ connection.
USBB:
The USB B ‘to host’ connection.
JEXP:
The
DIN MIDI
jack on the Expander.
When using the mini keyboard, the
Next
and
Prev
buttons shift the
keyboard up and down by octaves. The current octave is always shown in
the top-middle of the first OLED display.
If you have a Launchpad connected, pick
USB A
as the source to allow
recording from the keyboard page of the Launchpad mapping.
