•
To get a better overview you can divide the graphic in
steps overview from 1-16 and 17-32, if desired. Tap on
the corresponding button above the graphic.
•
Based on the selected step overview the blocks display
pitch, velocity, gate (note length), or one of the four
modulation parameters.
Bpm
Sets the overall tempo for the Arpeggiator and the Se-
quencer in Bpm (beats per minute). This tempo also affects
the functions that may depend on tempo settings (e.g.
LFOs, Komplex Modulator, Delay effect).
r
This parameter can also be controlled by the
Tempo
dial.
Step Length
Determines the rate at which notes are triggered – that is
to say, the speed at which the sequence is running. In addi-
tion to the
Bpm
parameter this gives you further control
over the playback speed. You can specify a value in frac-
tions of beats. For example, if
Step Length
is set to 1/8, the
sequence plays eight notes per measure.
Swing
Determines how much the timing affects a sequence step.
If
Swing
is set to
0.50,
the sequence is played back without
any shuffled timing. Settings from
0.51
to
0.95
increase the
shuffling of the notes and create a typical swing. You can
also use settings below
0.50
to influence the timing.
Pitch/Velocity/Gate/Param 1 - 8
This parameter depends on the setting of the Notes button
above the graphic. If
Notes
is selected,
Pitch
is shown and
you can set the pitch for the selected step. If
Velo
is
selected, you can edit the velocity for the selected step. If
Gate
is selected, you can edit the gate length for the selec-
ted step. If Param 1...8 is selected, you can edit the modula-
tion signal for the selected step.
r
Param 1...8
controls the parameter modulation for
the Parameter sequencer. Read more on this on page
