Tempo knob
The Tempo knob has a global impact and corresponds to each pattern’s settings.
It can also be used with the track buttons in order to set their advanced MIDI and
clock settings. It’s functions are as follows:
Global parameters:
•
Tempo: Adjusts the pace of each pat-
tern, every half unit from 10 to 400
BPM.
•
Swing: Adds that groove feeling,
ranging from 25 to 75%.
•
Clock: These settings let you choose
from internal, locked or external clock
over USB and MIDI connection. The
Seq clock is a 48 PPQN MIDI standard .
Here you can also enable Tempo Lock
function which locks the tempo of
current pattern for all patterns stored
in memory. This might be really helpful
for live performances and improvi-
sations.
•
Pattern: Displays the two digit number
(row-column) which points out on
which pattern you are currently work-
ing on.
Track parameters:
•
Tempo div: Choose a different tempo
multiplier or divider per track on 1/4,
1/3, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, 4/1.
•
Channel in: Sets MIDI input commu-
nication port to All, or from 1 to 16.
•
Channel out: Sets MIDI output com-
munication port from channels 1 to 16.
Each track can operate on different
MIDI channel.
•
MIDI Out: Here you can set the desired
track output port with or without MIDI
Clock output. With following options:
Out1, Out2, USB, Out1+Clk, Out2+Clk,
USB+Clk.

Note knob
When you press down the Note knob together with any of the track/step
buttons, you’ll hear what sound/note/chord it holds. Seq’s grid isn’t really made
to be played like a keyboard, but this way you can at least playback your chords
and steps that already exist in your sequences.
Track parameters:
•
Root Note: Allows you to set Track and
Scale root note from in between ten
octaves, from -C2 to C8.
•
Scale: Assigns a specific music scale to
a track based on any root note you’ve
selected. Choose from 39 predefined
musical scales (see the scales chart).
As you tune individual steps, the note
choices are confined to the chosen
scale. Notice that using a scale on
a existing sequence will quantize all of
it’s notes and notes in chords to that
particular musical scale, this means
that if you change the track’s root note,
the note in each step is transposed by
the same amount. For example, if you
work with a D3 root using the Blues
Major scale, changing the root to, say,
C3, transposes all the notes down
a whole step. That way you can keep
your chords and melodies harmonically
“glued” together, even if you weren’t
the best pupil in the music classes back
in school.
Step parameters:
•
Note: Lets you choose the desired note
for the single step you’re currently
editing. When you have a scale applied
to a certain track, you will be able to
choose notes from inside the used
music scale only.
•
Chord: Gives you access to a list of 29
(see the chord chart) predefined chords
which are available per step.
