Sequencer Writing / Editing
The way to erase or blank a
sequence is by doing the following.
While in SEQ MODE press the 'SET/
BANK' button. Next press the Tone
button '1-8' corresponding to the
sequence you wish to clear. Follow
this with the 'WRITE' button which
will do the clearing. At any stage
before the write pressing the 'CART'
button will cancel the sequence
clear and return you to SEQ MODE.
A sequence clear is equivalent to
writing 124 Rests and setting the
length to 1.
To start editing or creating a
sequence press 'WRITE' while in
SEQ MODE.
If a sequence
contains data when 'WRITE' is
pressed then any step(s) you write
will overwrite all notes in the
existing step(s) already in the
sequence.
The 'DOWN' (backwards)
and 'UP' (forwards) buttons will allow
non destructive stepping within a
sequence. Any notes played will
always write the next step in the
sequence. This way the sequence
will auto lengthen as notes are
played.
e.g. if the existing sequence is C, D,
E, F, G in 5 steps and you step to the
second step (D sounds) and play
the chord C E G the resulting
sequence will now be C, D,
CEG(chord), F, G. You will have
overwritten the third step.
You can write the pitch by playing
the midi notes, and the rhythm by
pressing the Tie button and the Rest
button. Note levels are also saved.
This will allow notes to be accented.
(1) Find the shortest time value in the
phrase you wish to write. Then
divide the longer time values by
that shortest one.
(e.g)
2) Long press the 'WRITE' button to
begin Seq write/edit.
(3) By playing the notes and using
the Tie button and Rest buttons,
write steps one after another.
Note - if more than 6 notes are used
in one step only the last 6 notes
used will play and be stored.
(4) If writing is complete press the
'WRITE' button followed by a Tone
button (1-8) to Save the Sequence
to permanent memory or the
'CART' Button to exit edit mode.
The next press of the 'CART'
button will start the sequence
playing on the next clock received.
If the Seq is not written to memory
the sequence will be lost if the
Kiwi-30 is powered off or another
sequence is loaded. Pressing the
'CART' button again will stop the
sequence playing (refer to
Sequencer Playing in the next
section).
When a sequence is playing the seq
current step show on the display
while in SEQ MODE.
