corresponding layer. Swap event swaps the current FM parameters of the layer with
another one (it may create strange effects depending on the sounds you are swapping).
You can add, drag horizontally, and remove any event into the sequencer grid in order to
compose a sequence following your creativity!
There can be a maximum of 128 events in the Voice Sequencer, and the time grid has a
128-step resolution.
Layer List : Selects the layer you want to work on.
Sequencing Grid : The main area where you put events to build your sequence.
Loop : If checked, the sequence will play indefinitely until you release the note.
MIDI Sync : If checked, the Voice Sequencer will lock to an external MIDI clock, instead of
internal tempo. Caution: be sure your sequencer (or any other MIDI controller) is able to
send this kind of message when you’re using this feature, otherwise your Voice Sequence
won’t play at all. When a tempo is received, its approximated value is shown under the
Tempo slider.
Fixed Tempo [Internal Sync mode only] (1 ~ 500): Sets the internal Voice Sequence
tempo
Step division [MIDI Sync mode only] (0.125 ~ 2): Sets the grid division of the sequence
when synced to an external MIDI clock.
Add Event (+) : Adds an event into the selected layer track.
Quantize: Puts selected event on the closer beat vertical rule.
Quantize All : Temporally aligns all events on the sequencer grid.
When an event is selected, a panel shows up with its
parameters.
Event type (Note/Swap) : Selects the current event
type, which was detailed in Overview section below.
Duration [Note event only] (0 ~ 126 ; Infinite): Sets
the event length, and allows to simulate a Note Off
event. If set to infinite, this event won’t be simulated. Note: A real Note Off event,
incoming from MIDI, will always be a priority!
Note [Note event only] (-48 ~ +48): Sets the note event transposition, relatively to the
incoming MIDI note pitch.
Layer Number [Swap event only]: Sets the layer to which the note will be swapped.
