4.2.6.5. Sequencer
The Sequencer lets you record 16 different sequences, each with up to 64 steps. You can
create these sequences by playing them on the keyboard or by entering note events directly
(complete with pitch, gate length, velocity and other parameters) using the Step buttons.
These sequences can then be played, transposed and modified in many creative ways.
The Sequencer is covered in detail in Chapter 5 [p.51] of this guide.
4.2.6.6. Arpeggiator
The arpeggiator generates notes based on the keys of the keyboard that you have pressed
or are now pressing and plays them back according to the Arp Mode setting. This is a fun
and interesting way to create new patterns and melodies or to improvise on existing chords.
The Arpeggiator is covered in detail in Chapter 5 [p.51] of this guide.
4.2.6.7. Drum Trigger Sequencer
This is a special drum or 'trigger' sequencer that sends signals to the Drum Gates outputs
on the back panel of the KeyStep Pro. The Drum sequencer has eight gate outputs (labelled
'Drum Gates 1-8'). You can use these outputs to trigger connected drum machines or
synthesizer modules with gate (or 'trigger') signals.
The Drum Gate sequencer is covered in detail in Chapter 5 [p.51] of this guide.
4.2.7. Arrangement Section
Patterns are the basic elements for creating chains. A chain is a pre-programmed series of
patterns that you construct for a performance; its an automated way of selecting patterns.
♪: A pattern chain can contain up to 16 patterns.
Scenes are snapshots of an interesting combination of active elements: for example, an
arpeggio running on Track 1 plus sequences running on Tracks 2 and 3 with nudged and/or
inverted patterns. Anything worth saving can be stored in a scene.
Please refer to Chapter 6 [p.91] for detailed information on patterns, chains and scenes.
