being an oscillator, these can be setup to act also as a 4 Operator FM synthesizer (Details in the →
Sample / Wave / Synthesis
part of the manual).
Another feature is that each audio track/pattern can consist 2 different sequences. So 2
samples/waveforms can be sequenced and played at the same time. Also both parts can have
different FX and groove settings, so they can run kind of independent. However if one part of the
pattern is finished then the other part will finish as well and both will be re-synchronized again to be
played in the next pattern. In the screen you can always see one of the 2 pattern parts. On the
complete left the 1
st
part of the pattern and if you navigate to the right after the groove, the 2
nd
part
will appear with the same possible functions.
Let’s first explain the pattern audio screen for the samples/waves/synth:
First the sequencer row (up to 64).
Then the following columns:

Note : To fill in the musical notes. It changes the pitch of the sample/wave in note scale. To
trigger a sample/wave a note must be filled in. In the screenshot it is the Basenote is C-4
which represents the original sample speed. A note on means also ‘ Gate on’ which can be
used in combination with the envelopes to be able to also trigger an envelope when the
sample/wave is triggered.
To stop a sample/wave you can use also the brackets here (below lowest note / Delete on
empty note field) [ ]
This will directly stop the sample or wave audio and also releases the gate. Next to the note
off there is also the ‘Gate Off’ function ( below the note off function / delete on a note-off
