XBASE 999 Operating Manual
The
(Scale Bars)
that are printed above the
(Step LEDs)
indicate
where the quarter downbeats of the selected scale are.
The
Scale
function also changes automatically the functions
A/B
Playmode
and
Last Step
.
Please note that Scale C and D still form a 4/4 measure, only the
beats between the downbeats are triplets.
The initialized pattern has following structure:
Scale:A(16
th
) Last Step:16 A/B Playmode:fix
That makes it a 4/4 measure with 16
th
notes.

: If you have selected scale B 32
th
, the A/B Playmode is automatically
set to alternating (see P.) You have now 32 steps total in a playtime of a
regular 16
th
pattern, and the higher and lower 16 steps of the 32 steps can
be selected by the A/B button.

With the
(Instrument)
keys you can select the instrument track to
be edited. Each instrument has its own track and its own step
programming. Of course you can switch between these whilst the
sequencer is running. The 16
(Step)
LEDs above the buttons
indicate on which steps the selected instrument is played (the
playing LEDs light up red).
