Menu Structure
There are 8 different menus which can be selected via the 8 MENU-buttons by pressing the
appropriate one. The LEDs above the buttons will indicate which one is active at any given
time. One can exit a menu at any time simply by pressing another MENU-button. If no menu
is selected all LEDs are off and the display shows the tempo in BPM.
The following menus are assigned to the 8 MENU-buttons:
Upper row:
1: EVENT
2: CHANNEL
3: FIRST/LAST STEP
4: PRESCALE
Lower row:
5: MODE
6: SINGLE STEP
7: PRESET
8: START/STOP
Menus 1-6 always refer to one of the three rows of dials. Menus 7-8 are global, i.e. they refer
to the whole sequencer rather than a specific row.
In the next few paragraphs we shall briefly explain the functions of the 8 menus, prior to
discussing them in detail.
Menu 1: EVENT
In this menu a certain type of MIDI-instruction (Event) is assigned to each row. The most
important event types are Note ON/OFF, Velocity, Controller, Pitch-bend and Aftertouch. In
addition a row can be assigned time function (i.e. duration of the step), dynamic switching of
the MIDI-channel or additional transposition of another row.
Menu 2: CHANNEL
This menu is used to assign a row to a MIDI-channel. The row will transmit the MIDI-
instructions entered in MENU 1 on the channel selected in this menu, unless dynamic MIDI-
channel switching has been activated.
Menu 3: FIRST/LAST STEP
The length of each of the three rows of dials can be limited. In this menu the user
determines the first step in which the sequence begins, as well as the last step after which
the unit jumps back to the first column. Since first and last step can be adjusted separately
for each row, it is possible to generate rather complex sequences.
