11. Recording note tracks
SQ16
11.1.6. Recording (Mode: Arp - UP1/UP2/do1/do2/Ud1/Ud2/ST2/Co1/Co2/Co3)
Those modes use the arpeggiator principle; you can play one or several notes on the keyboard here. The notes are then dis-
tributed to the steps according to the selected mode (one note per step).
As opposed to common arpeggiators the arpeggio pattern repeats itself with each Pattern repetition. This means that the
arpeggio always matches the remaining tracks of the Pattern regardless of the number of arpeggio notes.
1. After selecting one of the arpeggio modes (see 11.1.4) and activating the desired steps in the Step recording track (see
11.1.3) press either Overdub or Rec On.
• Overdub
The arpeggio isn't actually recorded into the note track; e.g. when using Overdub the arpeggio is played instead of
the notes in the note track. The note track data remain unchanged and are not overwritten. If you turn off Overdub
the previous note track is played.
Additionally the arpeggio always is built out of the current number of played notes, e.g. if you press C, E, G on the
keyboard the arpeggio is made out of exactly those three notes. Each time you release one key or press an additio-
nal key the arpeggio is immediately updated. Release all keys and the arpeggio stops.
Use this mode for "live" arpeggios.
• Rec On
The arpeggio is recorded into the note track; e.g. when using Rec On the arpeggio is both played back and simulta-
neously recorded into the note track. If you turn off Rec On the note track contains the recorded arpeggio; you can
then write the Pattern permanently into a Block.
As opposed to the Overdub function the arpeggio is only updated when pressing an additional key on the keyboard.
Releasing keys doesn't change the arpeggio. If you release all keys the arpeggio continues to play.
Please note: Even when not playing any key at all you can change the arpeggio by changing the Step recording
track. Each change of the Step recording track updates the arpeggio if Rec On is active.
2. Playing (Overdub) or recording (Rec On) an arpeggio
Start the Pattern by pressing "Start/Stop". The SQ16 is now read to play or record an arpeggio; all remaining tracks are
played back normally.
Play one or several keys on the keyboard. It follows a description of the resulting arpeggio depending on the selected
arpeggio mode:
• Mode Arp Up1
The notes are sorted from the lowest to the highest note and assigned one after another to steps.
