3.4.2 Step-sequencer basics - tonal sequences
In the second part of the step-sequencer description we will attempt to program a
little melody sequence. First we’ll have to select an existing factory preset prepared
for this purpose. You can find one in song 6, pattern 5. Stop the Sequencer, select
song ”6” and then chose pattern ”5”. The sequencer will start right away – even
though you won’t hear anything yet, as we have turned off all note-triggers in sequence
line 11.
By adding a number of trigger-points now, more and more notes will be generated.
To simplify these first steps, we already have set the pitch-information. - so you will
get to hear decent results even without pitch changes when you are switching on
individual trigger points. The sequencer line responsible for the triggering of the synth
voice, which also allows the input of the pitch, is sequencer line L11
“Tgrp1”. Push
the [Function] -button in the "Sequence-Edit"-section now and select sequencerline
11 with the first display encoder.
Press and hold the
[Function] -button in the sequence section again and push the
numeric button [1] . This shortcut selects parameter page 7 of the stepsequencer
menu. However - this page can be selected by pressing the [Page-Up] button
repeatedly:
7/7:Fnc TrigSet->TGrp1 Stp:01-16
Seq:L11 Pitch:A3 Len:1 Vel:100
The page you have reached allows the activating/deactivating of already defined
triggerpoints in a sequence.
You will now see the indicator lights moving corresponding to the sequence position
and you can turn individual notes on and off using the numeric buttons
[1]-[16] .
If you would like to change the pitch of a note, you can do so by adjusting the
corresponding encoder
(1) - (16) to the desired pitch.
Once you have created a melody line you like, the step sequencer will allow you a
host of options to make changes. You can change the direction of the melody, skip
single or multiple steps, mute steps and determine the length and the resolution of the
line. By holding down the
[Function] -button in the sequence-edit-section, you can
access all of these sequencer functions directly via the numeric-buttons.
Changing Playback Direction:
Push the [Function] -button in the sequence-edit-section, hold it down and push one
of the numeric buttons [6]-[9] . These have corresponding descriptions right under
the numbers.
[FWD] - The selected line will be played forward.
[BWD] - The selected line will be played in reverse.
[F&B] - The selected line will be played back alternating in forward
and backward mode.
[RND] - The tones will be played in random fashion.
Trigger:
The trigger sends out
control information
which can initiate a
predeter-mined action.
In our
case the trigger starts
the envelopes, which
are part of a sound
being played. Doing
this will open enve-
lope-controlled
amplifiers and filters.
