Sequencer, Animator
and Arpeggiator
In this section we are going to explain three very important features of the Modal 008R: 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 008R’s Arpeggiator.
To access the screen page related to the Sequencer or Animator, use the second ‘menu
button’ (B). The Arpeggiator screen is located on the main parameters page, third ‘menu
button’ (C).
On each page there are some key parameters to edit and control each feature:
•
the Tempo parameter, (expressed in BPM) controls the speed of the Sequencer, Animator
and Arpeggiator. This parameter is located in the top right of the screen, but can only be
accessed on certain screens. If the parameter is accessible then the tempo has a darker
font colour.
•
the Clock start/stop, starts the internal clock, which starts the Sequencer running.
•
Backward/Forward buttons, for changing the step position on the LCD (both for the
Sequencer and the Animator)
•
a Mode parameter, for changing the direction mode of the sequence/animation/
arpeggiator
•
Up/Down buttons, for changing the two currently displayed rows on the LCD (both for
the Sequencer and the Animator)
