4.
Each
step gate enable button
is a memory location for storing sequence patterns.
There are 16 locations in bank 1 and 16 locations in bank 2, equaling a total of 32
stored sequence patterns.
5.
Press and hold the
active slot button
and then press and hold the desired memory
location for 2 seconds.
6.
The memory location will blink, showing that the sequence pattern is now saved to a
memory location.
7.
To access memory locations with a stored sequence pattern, press and hold the
active slot button
and then press a
step gate enable button
to load the corresponding
memory location.
Understanding Scales and Modes
All modes (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian) can be
accessed from the Octone's
Major
scale.
For instance, C Ionian, D Dorian, E Phrygian, F Lydian, G Mixolydian, A Aeolian, and B
Locrian all include the same notes.
C Ionian
=
C, D, E, F, G, A, B
=
also known as C Major
D Dorian
=
D, E, F, G, A, B, C
E Phrygian =
E, F, G, A, B, C, D
F Lydian
=
F, G, A, B, C, D, E
G Mixolydian =
G, A, B, C, D, E, F
A Aeolian
=
A, B, C, D, E, F, G
=
also known as A Natural Minor
B Locrian
=
B, C, D, E, F, G, A
Mode Examples
If a patch is playing in the key of C Ionian, and the desired sequenced scale is D
Dorian, tune the oscillator you wish to sequence to D, and then send it a major scale
from the Octone.
If a patch is playing in the key of C Ionian, and the desired sequenced scale is G
Mixolydian, tune the oscillator you wish to sequence to G, and then send it a major
scale from the Octone.
If a patch is playing in the key of C Ionian, and the desired sequenced scale is A
Aeolian, tune the oscillator you wish to sequence to A, and then send it a major scale
from the Octone.
