ARTURIA – BeatStep Pro – USER’S MANUAL
31
The Step buttons now show the status of steps 17-32. You can play the sequence while
editing, if you want; it will play all 32 steps, but the Step buttons will stay focused on
steps 17-32.
Simply edit the steps as desired with the Step buttons and encoders. When you’re
finished you can re-enter Sequence Follow mode with the << >> buttons if you like.
4.3.6
Pads
For SEQ1 and SEQ2 the pads act like a piano keyboard, starting with pad 9 on the left
side of the lower row. You’ll notice this pad is labeled with the note name “C”. From
there the note names proceed upward chromatically through an entire octave.
The pads with note names will transpose a sequence when used in combination with the
SEQUENCER 1 or SEQUENCER 2 button
.
Note: Neither SEQ1 nor SEQ2 will respond to transpose commands from the pads or
external MIDI when they are in Record mode.
The pads also have secondary functions, which are accessed by holding SHIFT and
pressing one of the pads. See
section 7.4
for a chart of these functions.
4.3.6.1
Input Scale
There are words like ‘Chromatic’ and ‘Minor’ printed beneath the pads on the top row.
These are the names of the Input Scales, which are described in
section 4.3.3
. To select
one, hold the SHIFT button and press one of those pads.
Remember: the Input Scale doesn’t change notes that already exist in the sequence. It
chooses a certain set of notes that an encoder can select if you edit the Pitch of a step.
The default selection for this parameter is the Chromatic Scale. The User Scale can be
defined using the MIDI Control Center (see
section 12.8.9
).
4.3.6.2
Octave range
There are two pads labeled “OCT-” and “OCT+” on the top row (pads 7 and 8). Their
function is to transpose the pads up and down an octave at a time so you can access
notes /- 3 octaves.
To reset the Octave range, press “OCT-” and “OCT+” at the same time.
4.3.6.3
Playback mode
The first three buttons on the bottom row of pads are used with the SHIFT button to
select the Playback mode (i.e., the playback direction). Here’s what each option does,
using a four-step sequence as an example:
•
Forward: plays sequence steps 1, 2, 3, 4 | 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
•
Reverse: plays sequence steps 4, 3, 2, 1 | 4, 3, 2, 1, etc.
•
Alternate: plays through the sequence steps first in one direction, then the other.
The result: 1, 2, 3, 4 | 4, 3, 2, 1 | 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
The default setting is Forward.
4.3.6.4
Time division
Depending on the current setting, this parameter can be a quick way to double the
playback rate of your sequence or cut it in half. Triplet options are available, too.
