11. THE SEQUENCER
39
Set the retrig speed by pressing and holding the
[TRIG]
key while pressing
[ARROW]
keys
[UP]
or
[DOWN]
. Similarly, a pop-up menu will appear on the screen, where various retrig settings can be made.
Read more about the retrig menu on page 36.
If the pattern contains more than 16 steps, select the pattern page you want to edit by pressing the
[PAGE]
key. The active pattern page is shown with a fully lit <PATTERN PAGE> LED.
Press
[PLAY]
to listen to the sequence.
All trigs of a track can be shifted forwards or backward on the sequencer. While in GRID
RECORDING mode, hold down [FUNCTION] while pressing the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] arrow
keys to perform the trig shift.
11.3.3 LIVE RECORDING MODE
LIVE RECORDING mode is the second method of adding trigs to the tracks. In this recording mode, the
[PADS]
are played in real time to input trigs to the tracks. It is also possible to enter parameter locks
in real time. Trigs input in LIVE RECORDING mode will be placed on the sequencer in a micro-timed
fashion, which means the
µTM
parameter in the TRIG SETUP menu will be locked accordingly to more
accurately reflect the input timing of the trigs. This makes LIVE RECORDING mode record note inputs in
a more expressive and non-quantized way. Micro timed trigs can be quantized, which is done in the TRIG
SETUP menu accessed by pressing
[FUNCTION]
+
[TRIG SETUP]
. Quantizing is covered on page 39.
Hold
[RECORD]
and press
[PLAY]
to enter LIVE RECORDING mode. The sequencer will start to play
and the <RECORD> LED will start to flash. You can now enter trigs to the active track in real time by
playing the
[PADS]
. Key presses on the
[PADS]
will be recorded as note trigs, and the velocity and
duration of the key presses will affect the values of the note trigs. Also, the pitch value of the note trig, if
CHROMATIC mode is active, will be recorded. Any changes to the PARAMETER page settings, using the
DATA ENTRY
knobs, will be recorded on the sequencer as parameter locks.
In order to activate or deactivate quantization of the LIVE RECORDING, press
[RECORD]
, then dou-
ble-press
[PLAY]
. Repeat the command to deactivate. Quantization of live recording can also be set in
the SEQUENCER CONFIGURATION menu found in the GLOBAL menu.
Press
[NO/RELOAD]
+ one (or several) of the
[PADS]
to erase a sequence of recorded trigs on a track
(or on several tracks) in time with the sequencer, i.e. all steps reached on the pattern playing will be
erased, until the keys are released.
To stop both the recording and the playback of the sequencer, press
[STOP]
. To exit LIVE RECORDING
mode while keeping the sequencer playing, press
[PLAY]
. If LIVE RECORDING mode is active and
[REC]
is pressed, GRID RECORDING mode will be activated.
11.4 RETRIG MENU
When the
[RETRIG]
key is pressed, the retrig menu for the active track will appear on the leftmost side of
the LCD screen. In this menu, a host of retrig actions can be set. Each of the twelve drum tracks can have
its own set of retrig settings. The retrig settings are stored to the active kit.
Use the
[ARROW]
keys
[UP]
and
[DOWN]
to highlight one of the retrig actions (there are more than the
four visible on the screen). Change values using the
[ARROW]
keys
[LEFT]
and
[RIGHT]
. The values can
also be set using the LEVEL knob. The retrig actions available in this menu are:
RETRIG
Sets the retrig rate (1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/12, 1/16, 1/20, 1/24, 1/32, 1/40, 1/48, 1/64
or 1/80). 1/16 is the nominal retrig rate, one trig per step. 1/32 corresponds to two trigs per step and so
on. To trig triplets, for example, set the retrig rate to 1/12 (or 1/24).
