Sequencer FX Commands (Continued)
GRV XX (Groove)
Sets the groove number (XX) for the current track. “GRV” is held until a new groove
command is triggered.
HOP XY
In phrase: Jumps the play position to row Y on the next phrase in the song.
In table: Jumps the play position to row Y for X number of times.
KIL XX (Kill Note)
Stops the currently playing instrument after a given number of ticks (XX).
RAN XY (Random)
Randomizes the previously active FX command in a phrase/table. Independently con-
trol the range’s left (X) and right (Y) values from 0 (no randomness) to F (full range).
RET XY (Retrig)
Retrigger the current row with volume ramping at a given number of ticks. If Y is not
zero, Y sets the number of ticks to retrig while X changes the volume. An X value of 0 to
7 decreases and 8 to F increases the volume on each retrig. If Y is zero, RET is in single
retrig mode where X sets the number of ticks to wait.
REP XX (Repeat)
Repeat the last FX command, incrementing by a given amount per step (XX). REP will
continue to be active until a new command stops it. It does not need to be present on
every successive row. On new instrument triggers, the value will maintain it’s position
and continue to repeat. This is tremendously useful for automation where you may
want to have the parameter ramp up or down slowly through a number of phrases. Ex:
“CUT00” (lter cuto) followed by a “REP04” on the next row will increment the cuto
parameter by 4 every row/step. To stop “REP” either put a new command or “REP00”
in the FX column.
NTH XY (Nth trigger)
NTH is a conditional trigger based on loop count. Skips either everything to the left (X)
or right (Y) side of the FX command in phrase, or everything to the left (XX) in table. Skip-
ping is determined by the value and how many times the phrase or table has looped.
Refer to the help text at the bottom of the screen when editing the value.
PSL XX (Pitch Slide)
Enables portamento for the currently playing instrument. The value (XX) is in ticks.
