Sequencer, Animator
and Arpeggiator
In this section we are going to explain three very important features of the Modal 001: first
of all, our very powerful 12 row, 32 step Sequencer; secondly, a unique tool called Animator,
a note-triggered sequencer for parameters that allow you to create complex modulations;
finally, the 001’s Arpeggiator.
On the right hand side of the 001 front panel, the same set of controls are shared between
Envelope (see ‘Envelope’ section in chapter 3) and Sequencer/Animator/Arpeggiator
functionalities: to switch between the two modes, just press the EG/Seq button.
Before you continue reading this section, please make sure that the LED is in ‘Seq’ position.
To access the screen page related to one of these sections, you can either repeatedly press the
Seq/Ani/Arp panel button underneath the Tempo knob or use the second ‘menu button’ (B)
under the LCD..
This panel also features:
•
the Tempo encoder, which can be turned to change the current Song Tempo (expressed
in BPM) and also tapped to start/stop the Sequencer
•
Backward/Forward buttons, for changing the step position on the LCD/panel (both for the
Sequencer and the Animator)
•
a Mode button, for changing the direction mode of the sequence/animation
•
Up/Down buttons, for changing the two currently displayed rows on the LCD (both for
Seq/Ani). Please note that the front panel encoders edit the first displayed row (i.e. VCF-
EG Attack corresponds to the first step, Decay to the second step, etc.)
