The
FUNCTION-BUTTONS
(left) select the current track. Also, the display shows the current
track (e.g.
T01
).
Each matrix-
line (!)
now represents a step of the sequence-chain. Use matrix-buttons
1
to
16
to select the sequence to be played by this step.
Lines below each other form a
sequence-chain.
Their length (1 to 64 steps) is indicated by the
LEDs in the first column (the graphic on page 32 displays four steps).
• Select the number of steps for the current sequence-chain using
DEC / INC
. You will see
the changes by the length of the vertical LED-bar in column 1. The display will also show
the number of steps (e.g.
LEN 04
).
• Press
PLAY
to playback the sequence-chain. The
locator
will move from top to below!
The following example visualizes the
sequence-chain of track 11
. It contains eight steps:
Step 1 plays sequence 1, step 2 plays sequence 2, step 3 plays sequence 3, step 4 plays
sequence 2, step 5 plays sequence 4, step 6 plays sequence 3, step 7 plays sequence 2 and
step 8 calls up sequence 3.
Of course, the matrix is only capable of displaying 12 of 64 possible steps of a sequence-chain.
Therefore it serves as a „
window
“ which will always display a section of twelve steps which can
be moved across the sequence-chain using the
UP
and
DOWN
buttons (see upper graphic on
page 34).
The display will inform you about the position of the „window“ that can currently be seen in the
matrix: STEPS 01-12 shows the beginning of each sequence-chain, STEPS 09-20 will display
a corresponding later section within the chain. In this example, the matrix displays nothing,
because the sequence-chain only contains of four steps.
