9. THE SEQUENCER
33
Individual sequencer tracks can be copied, pasted and cleared in the same way as patterns but GRID
RECORDING mode must be active.
Trigs, complete with all parameter lock settings, can be copied, pasted and cleared as well. GRID RE-
CORDING mode needs to be active to access this functionality.
1. Press and hold one or several trigs and press
[RECORD]
to perform the copy operation.
2. Press and hold the
[TRIG]
key to where you want to paste your trig(s), and then press
[STOP]
to
paste the trig(s). When pasting several trigs, the trigs are placed in relation to the selected target
trig.
3. Clear trig locks by holding one or more trigs and press
[PLAY]
.
•
You can undo most copy, paste, and clear operations by repeating the key presses.
•
It is possible to copy, clear and paste one or several patterns without leaving the active
pattern. To copy, press and hold [PATTERN] + [TRIG] key to select the pattern you wish
to copy. Then press [RECORD]. Let go of the [TRIG] key and then press and hold the
[TRIG] key(s) to where you want to paste the pattern. Finally, press and hold [STOP]
until the countdown finishes to paste the pattern(s). To clear, press and hold [PATTERN]
+ [TRIG] key(s) to select the pattern(s) you wish to clear. Then press and hold [PLAY] to
clear the pattern(s).
9.12.7 TEMPORARY SAVE AND RELOAD PATTERN COMMANDS
Patterns can instantly be saved to a temporary memory space and then reloaded again from this space.
• To perform a temporary save of the active pattern, press
[FUNC]
+
[SETTINGS]
. This function is use-
ful to create a restore point when you are live tweaking, but without permanently save your changes.
• To perform a temporary reload of the active pattern, press
[FUNC]
+
[PATTERN]
. It will reload the
pattern from when you last used the temporary save command. If you have not done any temporary
save, then the pattern reloads from the permanently saved state.
The TEMPORARY SAVE PATTERN and TEMPORARY RELOAD PATTERN commands are
great when improvising live. Any changes made to the active pattern, like adding bass line
notes or using CONTROL ALL, can immediately be undone. At the same time, the saves
and reloads will not affect the pattern in a permanent way.
The TEMPORARY SAVE PATTERN command does not save the pattern permanently, and
any changes are lost if you load another project. If you wish to save your changes perma-
nently, you should use SAVE PATTERN in the CONFIG menu. For more information, please
9.13 CHAINS
Chains are sequences that consist of more than one pattern. You can use chains to preselect and automate
in what order you want your patterns to play.
You can create one chain, and it can contain any pattern in bank A–H. The chain can consist of up to 64
patterns.
1. Press and hold
[PATTERN]
and then press
[T1–T6]
to select a bank.
2. While holding
[PATTERN]
press and hold a
[TRIG 1–16]
key to select the first pattern in the chain.
3. Press
[TRIG 1–16]
keys in the same order as you want the chained patterns to play. Keep a previous
[TRIG]
key pressed while you press the next one, the one after that and so on. You can press the
same
[TRIG]
key again if you wish to add the pattern multiple times in a row. If you want to add a pattern
from another bank, press
[T1–T6]
to select a bank, and then press
[TRIG 1–16]
to select a pattern.
4. Press
[PLAY]
to start the sequencer and play the chain. The chain is looped and starts to play from
the beginning again after the final pattern of the chain has played.
