Sequencer
Argon8 has an extremely powerful real-time sequencer on board boasting 512 notes
with input quantise and four recordable / editable parameter animations (Delay FX, LFO’s,
sequencer and arpeggiator can be either clocked internally or externally)
•
Play:
This button starts and stops the sequencer.
•
Record:
This button allows you to record enable and disable. If the sequence is not
playing when you press record it will begin.
Tip: You can enable or disable the metronome in the MODALapp or on-screen on the
‘Settings - Seq’ page.
•
Mute:
This button mutes all notes in the sequence. Hold the ‘Mute’ button to clear all
the sequencer notes in the currently selected sequence.
•
Tempo:
Turning this encoder selects the tempo of the internal clock.
•
Length:
Holding the Shift button and (or when latched in shift mode) turning this
encoder allows you to select the length of the selected sequence.
•
Quantise:
Holding the Arp button and turning this encoder allows you to select an input
quantise value for the sequencer.
•
Seq Loop:
Allows you to loop certain parts of the sequencer. When the button is first
pressed is the loop start point and when it is released becomes the loop end point. When
a loop is active pressing the button again will disable the loop.
•
Seq Hold:
Holds the current sequencer step and repeats it, like a beat repeater. When
the button is released the sequencer carries on from the location it should have been
before the step was repeated so it will still be in time.
•
Linked Sequences:
This is a screen only parameter that allows you to link a sequence
to a specific patch. This loads this sequence every time its linked patch is loaded. You
can access this easily by pressing the Patch button and using the Page/Param encoder to
scroll all the way to the right. Simply input the desired sequence number for that patch
or select ‘Off’ for no linked sequence. Like any other patch parameter, the patch must be
saved in order to retain the linked sequence number.
Tip: When selecting a Linked Sequence, hold the Preset/Edit switch to select the current
sequence.
Holding the Shift button and (or when latched in shift mode) holding the Anim1 / Anim2 /
Anim3 / Anim4 buttons clear their respective animation lanes.
The Sequence position LED will always cycle 1 - 16 over the current sequence length. Eg. if
sequencer is set to 4 bars, it will take 4 bars for the sequencer LED to scroll from 1 to 16 (i.e.
not steps) If sequencer is running, any sequencer length changes will only take affect at the
beginning of a bar.
