The on-board step sequencer

 allows for extensive direct access, even in a live concert situation.

All  sound-forming  parameters  are  programmable  for  every  step  by  simply  turning  the  control
knobs. This is the decisive feature of the XBase09.

Depending  on  the  used  mode,  it  is  possible  to  program  completely  different  sounds  for  every
single step in a pattern.

Also possible are continous soundchanges over several steps and these  features  can  be  used  for
bass-, snare- and HiHat-track individually.

Software-Version 2.09 :

There are also three additional Sequencer-Tracks. Their data is putted out via Midi to control up
to three different outboard soundsources. Notes and length is controlled easily by the knobs on the
XBase09 front panel. (See V2-Update!)

The internal sequencer enables sound and tone control for each instrument in each step without
the timing delays that MIDI controllers and note-on messages would produce. This is the reason
why the Xbase09 grooves so tightly when running on its own, much tighter than if it played the
same pattern in MIDI remote control mode.
