Of interest is the combination of different resolutions giving exciting sequences. This parameter can
be individually adjusted for every one of the four sequences. Select the desired sequence with [SEL
1-4].
Transposing: menu page 3
On this menu page you can transpose the pitch up and down in semitone steps, separately on all
of the four sequencers.

<3> Transpos: +0
The transpose value is stored in the so-called transpose / muting subsets. With the help of these
subsets you can store 8 different transpose combinations and with a push of the button you can
call them up. There is more on this subject in section: "transpose / muting subsets".
Start triggering the sequences: menu pages 4 and 5
This parameter determines the start behaviour of the sequencers. A sequence can start
automatically by pushing [START/STOP] or can be started from another sequencer or from MIDI
note triggers. The parameter on menu page 5 selects how the sequence will start. The menu page
6 has extra parameters, which are slaves from the start characteristics.
"FREE" STANDARD SETTING FOR STARTING NORMAL USING [START/STOP]
Edit P1 Sequence
<4> StrtTrg: Free
In this operating mode the sequencer runs normally and starts off when pushing [START/STOP]. On
menu page 6 there are no more parameters.
SEQ 1 - 4 - ADJUSTMENTS TO MUTUAL STARTING OF THE SEQUENCES
Edit P1 Sequence
<4> StrtTrg: SEQ1
In this operating mode you can select a sequence "trigger" (start) with another sequencer. With [SEL
1 - 4] you select, which sequencer will be started from another. After this you can decide with
"StrtTrg:seq1 - seq4", which of the rest of the three sequencers will start the selected one. On menu
page 6 you can select with which step of the sequencer the selected sequence will be triggered.

PRODUCING LONGER SEQUENCES WITH MORE THAN 16 STEPS
There are many application examples for this trigger function. For example you can have two
sequencers move against each other. You can also use a sequence as a trigger track. These only
exist for starting the other sequencers. This way longer sequences than 16 steps are possible. Using
this trigger track with the resolution of "1/1" starts a different 1/16th sequence on every beat.
In the following example we will produce a sequence with 32 steps:
1.)
Set sequence 1 as trigger sequence. The resolution of this sequence is to be set at 1/1.
2.)
Limit the length of the note row of sequence1 to two steps. [PITCH], [CYCLE-LENGTH],
[2]. Now set the note row of the sequences 2 and 3 to 16 steps.
3.)
Mute both steps of this sequence. [STEP-MUTE], [1], [2].
