Stage 3 - Custom Sequences
Motif: RHYTHM, PHRASE, AUTO
Go back to the main arpeggiator page and set
Motif
to
RHYTHM
so that the NOTE
values become relevant. Touch
Pattern Edit
. Highlight anything in the bottom row
and touch
Clear
. Select
ALL CLEAR
to delete all the lines in the grid, then touch
Step Rec
(step recording)
. Now enter notes or chords (playing legato will also result
in chords) until you have filled all 16 steps, and touch
Stop
. To change the velocity of
any of these notes, simply use the
cursor
buttons to highlight them, then change the
value using the row of
pads
and/or the
VALUE
dial. Setting zero will delete a note.
Now play any note - you should be able to hear the sequence you have just made, but
in the original pitch only. Press the
EXIT
button and change the
Motif
to
PHRASE
so
that you can transpose the sequence by playing different notes.
Touch
Pattern Edit
, then
Clear
. Select
ALL CLEAR
, then change the
End Point
to
32
.
Touch
Real Rec
(realtime record). Wait for two bars, then play for two bars. Touch
Stop
when you are ready. If you don’t like what you have entered, you can always use the
Clear
pad to start again. Tip: don’t play too laid-back, otherwise several notes will
appear later in the grid. Having said that, such “mistakes” can turn out to be quite funky
and highly inspiring!

Twin D-Beam
Time Trip Pad
Assignable Control
A lot of thought has gone into making the
V-Synth
one of the most truly “playable”
keyboards on the market. The left hand controls (
Time-Trip
,
D-Beam
, the
C1
and
C2
knobs) are specifically designed for manipulating sounds in realtime once they have been
programmed.
Of course any of the buttons, knobs and sliders on the panel could be used as
performance controls, and you might like to change e.g. the
Decay
time in an arpeggio
or to switch effects in and out during live performance. However, it is a much better idea
to assign one or more of the many multi-purpose controls to the appropriate destination
in the Matrix Control (see below).
Why? Because all the left hand controls are assigned MIDI CC numbers (definable in the
MODE / SYSTEM
settings). Any movements can be recorded to a MIDI sequencer or
even to the
V-Synth
’s own pattern sequencer (where all recorded data is quantized to
the current Grid value). The other buttons, knobs and sliders don’t send data to the MIDI
Out port.
