Wave Sequencing 2.0

5: Show # of steps

Use the 16/32/64 buttons to adjust the viewable range of the display, to show 16, 32, or 64 Steps, respectively.

For compatibility with the hardware wavestate, Steps are named in groups of 16: A1…A16, B1…B16, C1…C16, and

D1…D16; you’ll see these names in the Wave Sequence Inspector for Lane start/end and loop points, and when editing

individual steps.

6: Wave Sequence Inspector

This area shows details for the currently selected Lane or Step.
To edit Lane parameters, click on the Lane’s title. To edit Step parameters, click on a Step.

7: Mod Inspector

This shows the modulation routings for the selected parameter. You can add or delete routings from the list, adjust

modulation intensity, and change the selected Mod Sources (including adding a second Mod Source for routings

created by drag-and-drop).

8: Layer Select

These select which of the Layers is shown. You can also select Programs for the Layers, and turn them on and off.

9: Loop Controls

These control the direction of the Lane’s loop:

Forward

Backward

, or alternating

Forward-Backward

10: Random Order

When this is

, the Lane’s Steps will play in a different order every time the loop repeats. For details, see “Random

Order” on page 31.

Wave Sequence

Mode

This lets you choose whether the Program will play a Wave Sequence or a single Multisample.

[Wave Sequence, Single Multisample]

Wave Sequence:

The Program will use a Wave Sequence.

Single Multisample:

The Program will use a Multisample instead of a Wave Sequence. All of the Lane controls will be

disabled.

Mode = Wave Sequence

Wave Sequence

[List of Wave Sequences]

This shows the currently selected Wave Sequence. Use the < and > arrows to step through Wave Sequences one by

one, or click on the name to bring up a browser window. Right-click/control-click (macOS) on the name to bring up a

contextual menu for saving and renaming.

Sync Notes

[Off, On]

Sync Notes sets whether individual Wave Sequences play on their own separate timelines, or whether they are sync’d

together.

Off

: Each of the Program’s Wave Sequences will play independently.

: If at least one note of the Program is already playing, the Wave Sequence lanes for newly played notes will start

on the same steps as those of the oldest note. See the graphic below. There may still be variations due to per-note

modulation or Probability.
Additionally, for all Layers which have both Sync Notes and Tempo turned

, their Wave Sequences will sync

together.
