The Sequencer
54
On menu page 2 you see which sound number has been allocated to which part:
When you switch between parts with the PART-SELECT-keys you will soon see which sounds are as-
signed to which particular Part (track). Changing these sounds alone can immediately result in a new
musical ideas!
On the following menu pages 3 to 6 you can determine the volume of the track in the pattern, the
stereo-pan position (more to the right or left, centred or random(RND), as well as which Parts you
are sending to the effects processors FX-1 and FX-2.
The parameters on menu pages 2 - 6 are stored with each pattern individually.
Once you have finished your pattern you can save it. Before you can do this you have to exit the
drumgrid or step-sequencer by pressing the EXIT-key.
Now go to the Write menu by pressing the WRITE-key. Select page 2 of the Write-menu with the
PAGE/BANK-keys. This is what it looks like:
Press F1 [ok] to save. The display shows this:
On this page you can select a User-memory space for your pattern. You do this with the EDIT
VALUE/TEMPO-dial. F3 [cancel] allows you to abort. The pattern will not be saved. When you have
entered your memory space press F1 [ok]. The pattern will now be stored in the selected User-
memory space. Press the EXIT-key to quit the WRITE-menu.
Remember that in the pattern you only store the sound number for each of the 7 Parts. If you have
created a new sound for one of the Parts during the editing of the pattern you should save this new
sound (prior to saving the pattern) under a new sound number, i.e in a different User-memory space.
The sequencer of the Sirius can not only record and replay patterns but can do a lot more things you
might have missed in other sequencing devices. Particularly with the live performer in mind, the
Sirius offers you the chance to get in on the action. You can be flexible for your audience.
The tempo in which you record and replay can either be set using the VALUE/TEMPO-dial or can be
tapped in using the TapTempo-key. Try tapping the TAP-key rhythmically several times. You will no-
tice that the tempo will adjust to your tapping rhythm.
When you are in the top menu level of sound-select, pattern-select or song-select, the tempo is dis-
played on the top right of the display. To get to this level hit the EXIT-key repeatedly until the display
stops changing.
You have a further possibility to change the tempo - the Beat-Recognition-System of the Sirius.
The individual tempos of the songs are stored with the song data in each of the 16 avail-
able song-memory banks.
