Press
Bank Select
to deselect all selected steps.
•
Press
Bank Step 1-8…Step 25-32
to select any number of step banks. The LEDs
of selected Banks are fully lit.
Step Buttons 1…8
The
Step Buttons 1…8
are used to select one or more steps. If you press a
Step Button
while the
sequencer is stopped, the notes of this step are played back.
Using the monitor function of the
Step Buttons 1…8
while the step sequencer is stopped is a
handy feature to trigger chords or arpeggios. Just program a couple of chords into a sequence
pattern and hit the step buttons during your performance.
Pause Button
Sets the selected steps to Pause. All notes that were previously stored on these steps are deleted.
Hold Button
Sets the selected steps to
Hold
. This means that the notes of the previous step are held over the length
of the step. You can set adjacent steps to
Hold
to hold notes over several steps.
Make sure that no Pause event occurs between the step with the notes and the step you set to Hold,
otherwise the notes aren’t held.
Control Select Button (Cutoff/Velocity/Option Button)
Switches the eight rotary controls to control the following parameters per step:
•
Cutoff
performs relative changes to the Cutoff parameters of Filter 1 and Filter 2.
•
Velocity
sets the velocity for all notes of the step.
•
Option
controls further parameters. Available parameters are selected in the Step
Sequencer Edit menu. Please read the chapter “Option Line parameter” for further
information.
Sequencer Rotaries
The Sequencer Rotaries are used to control various continuous parameters of the sequence pattern.
•
If you turn the control of a step that isn’t selected, only the parameter of that step is
changed.
•
If you turn the control of a selected step, all other selected steps in all selected banks are
changed relatively.
•
If you turn a control while
Shift
is held, all steps in all banks are changed relatively.
The row of LED to the right of the eight controls shows which parameter is currently edited.
Sequencer Edit Menu
