Version OS 1.0
2.2.10 Edit Patterns:
Whilst in Edit Mode ( EDIT/TRIG LED=on), set the notes with the 16 step buttons of the
desired 16
th
to be played in a measure. Press (Start) to start the sequencer, and the
running LED spot shows the currently played step.
2.2.11 Set/Clear Accents:
Hold the instrument key and press the step button at the same time. The color changes
from red to orange=accent or vice-versa. All instruments have an individual accent level
that defines how strong the accent is played.
2.2.12 Select Bar (Measure):
The instrument tracks can be as long as 64 steps. Whilst in Edit mode, use the (BAR)
button to switch between bars of each 16 steps. The last step value (1-64) of the
instrument track limits the number of bars to select. The LED of the currently played
bar will blink.
2.2.13 Pitch Sequence:
Press the (SEQ) button (LED = on). Now the pitch of every instrument is being played
by the sequencer. The bars in the LCD mark the pitch change, the crossed steps are not
played. Turn the corresponding knobs of the 4x4 knob matrix to change the pitch of the
played step. Every pixel resembles a semitone. You can add pitch of up to 2 octaves
higher than the original tuning.
Flip between sequencer mode, parameter mode and kit select mode with the
(KIT/SEQ) button.
2.2.14 Editing Sample based instruments
If you are editing a sample based analog instrument (CH to RIDE), select the sample
with knob 4 = Sample Select. If Sample Select = 0, the sample is off. The sample is
always routed through an analog VCA with its own envelope. Filter Routing (knob 8
page A) decides if the sample and metal noize are routed through a filter. If Rout = 0,
no filter and no metal noize are applied and only the sample passes through the VCA.
If Filter Rout > 0 and Sample Select = 0, the VCA envelope just plays back metal noize
(knob 8 page B) or self-oscillating filter tones. If Metal Noize = 0, noise is off.
Metal Noize = 1 is always white noise. If both Metal Noize and Sample Select are > 0,
they are mixed together.
