In two cases the 2nd variation is more likely to use:
a.)
When you do not want to control a parameter with the selected row simply choose "not
assgn" (first value in the list - turn to the left).
and
b.)
When you want to control a parameter that can not be found on the surface.
[NOTE-FWD] - PLAYING NOTES FORWARD
Independent from the selected playing direction the note sequence will be played forward.
[FORWARD] – PLAY FORWARD
All four rows will be played forward.
[BACKWARD] – PLAY BACKWARD
All rows will be played backwards. If you push [NOTE-FWD] in addition the note sequence will
run forward independently.
[RANDOM]
The single steps are played in a random sequence. By pushing [NOTE-FWD] you can run the notes
forward independently.
[STEP-MUTE] - MUTING OF NOTE STEPS
When you have selected this button, you turn off the single steps with [NUMBER1-8]. Turning off
means that the note output will be suppressed on the corresponding position. The parameter of
the rest of the three step rows will be sent even when the notes are turned off.
[STEP-HOLD] – THE FREEZING OF A STEP
With an activated hold function you can freeze the single steps with [NUMBER1-8]. In this
operating mode the pushed [NUMBER1-8] corresponding step will be continuously repeated.
This function is very helpful during the editing of a sequence. A sequence of notes can be entered
more specifically.
[CYCLE-LENGTH] – ADJUSTMENT OF THE ROW LENGTH
With an activated cycle length function you can adjust the length of the row for every parameter.
For example, a note sequence with [NUMBER1-8]: A length of 8 steps for the note sequence but a
length of 7 steps for filter control on line-1 could be created. The sequence would reach the
beginning after 56 steps were played.
[SEQUENCE-SELECT] – SEQUENCE SELECTION / CALLING UP MUTING AND TRANSPOSE
SUBSETS
With an activated [SEQUENCE-SELECT] you can call up different mute/transpose subsets with the
[NUMBER1-8]. In these subsets every sequence can have its own transpose value. So it is no
problem to transpose one of the four sequences up and the others down.
In the preprogrammed setups you find many examples for using the subsets. In live operation you
can call up the setups over the MIDI notes. There will be more in the chapter "The Morphing
sequencer of the POLYMORPH" on page 38.
In addition the POLYMORPH has a sequencer memory, independent from the setup memory,
with 50-memory locations. This memory storage can be selected by holding down
[SEQUENCE-SELECT] and turning <VALUE-TEMPO>. The sequence of the selected part will
always be changed.
Remember: While holding down [SEQUENCE-SELECT], you can turn the sequences on or off with
the buttons [SEL1-4].
