8.12. Playback direction/note order
There are four different options for the order in which notes will be played by the Sequencer,
and eight different directions/note orders for the Arpeggiator. The cool thing is that they can
be playing in different directions at the same time!
8.12.1. Sequencer: playback direction
To select one of the Playback directions for the Sequencer involves the Shift button:
• Select a pattern you know well so you can identify the notes as they are played.
• Press Play to start the pattern
• Hold the Shift button
• Select one of the first four pads. They are labeled Fwd, Rev, Alt, and Rand.
Here’s what each option does, using a four-step sequence as an example:
• Forward (Fwd): plays sequence steps 1, 2, 3, 4 | 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
• Reverse (Rev): plays sequence steps 4, 3, 2, 1 | 4, 3, 2, 1, etc.
• Alternate (Alt): 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.
• Random (Rand): selects the notes at random and could play any one of the
notes contained in the sequence at any time. There will be no discernible pattern,
especially if the sequence is longer than 4 steps and contains more than 4 notes.
The default setting is Forward.
