8. SEQUENCER MODE

This chapter covers the features of the Seq/Arp section, which includes the Sequencer, the

Arpeggiator, and their hybrid, the Matrix Arpeggiator. Here's a brief overview of each:

•

Sequencer mode [p.56]

contains a 64-step sequence that can trigger notes,

modulation events, or both. Each step in the sequence can contain up to 6 notes.

Sequence length is adjustable.

• In

Arpeggiator mode [p.55]

the notes you hold down are stepped through in a

variety of orders, and repeated in higher octaves.

•

Matrix Arpeggiator mode [p.64]

lets you construct a 16-step framework that can

generate complex arpeggios.

When a preset is saved, the data for all three modes is saved with it.



♪

: The Timbrality Split LED flashes if [SEQ] is active when a preset is loaded. This tells you that the

keyboard has been split, and that the lower part of the keyboard will transpose the sequence.

PolyBrute doesn't need to be in Sequencer mode to record or play sequences, but you must

enter Sequencer mode to edit them. So when you're ready, press the round Sequencer mode

button to enter Sequencer mode.

8.1. Common features

The Sequencer, Arpeggiator, and Matrix Arpeggiator have several common features, so we'll

cover them once in this section.



♪

: The Matrix buttons provide good visual feedback as the various Seq/Arp parameters change. This

can be very helpful as you learn about the features.

8.1.1. The Home page

Press the Sequencer button and the PolyBrute takes you to the top level of Sequencer mode.

We'll refer to this as the home page. What the home page shows depends on whether the

Sequencer or Arpeggiator is active.
