Programming the Sequencer
By default, Track 1 of the Sequencer controls oscillator frequency, mean-
ing that it’s hard-wired for recording notes. Beyond that, any Sequencer
track can be routed to any modulation destination. A typical scenario
might have other tracks routed to filter cutoff, filter resonance, noise
level for drum-like accents, and so on.
To program a monophonic note sequence:
1. Select a program with a relatively sharp attack and short release.
2. Press the
record
button. Phrase A is selected by default.
3. Play a sequence of notes on the keyboard. The numbered step LEDs
indicate where you are in the sequence. A white LED indicates the current
step. A red LED indicates a note has been recorded on that step.
4. If you make a mistake, toggle the
record
button off, then on again, and
replay the notes correctly.
5. If you want to record fewer than 16 steps, play only the notes you want.
If you play more than 16 notes/steps, the Sequencer will ignore the
additional notes.
6. When you’ve finished, press the
play
button to hear your sequence. A
white LED indicates the current step. A red LED indicates a note has been
recorded on that step.
7. Use the
bpm
,
divide
, or
tap tempo
controls to adjust Sequencer playback
speed.
8. To change playback direction of the sequence, press one of the
direc
-
tion
buttons (
rev
,
fwd
/
rev
,
random
).
9. To stop playback, press the
play
button again.
10. To save the sequence, save the program by pressing the
write
button
twice.
A quick way to edit a step when playback is stopped is to press and hold the step
LED for the desired step. You can then play a note and the Sequencer will update the
sequence to use that note and the velocity at which you played it. You can also edit any
other parameter for that step while you’re at that step location.
