Version OS 1.0
11.3 SEQ Mode
The Sequence Mode is activated if you press the (SEQ) button. In this mode every
instrument's pitch is played by the sequencer. Moreover, parameter-locks can be
programmed to change certain parameters over the track dynamically. If SEQ Mode is
off, the instruments only get triggered and return to their normal pitch.
11.3.1 Pitch Sequence
Right after the (SEQ) button is pressed, the display changes to the pitch sequencer
screen:
The black bars indicate active steps and the crosses show empty steps.
The 4x4 knob matrix shows the sequencer steps as well, except that four steps are one
row of encoders. The LED next to them show the step sequencer.
The running green LED spot also runs through the knob matrix LEDs.
Now turn the knobs of the active steps and you can
create a melody for the beats. Only the active steps
can be edited.
If you set or clear steps it will be updated in the
display and the knob matrix as well.
Each pixel of the bar stands for one semitone of the
instrument tune (with the analog instruments it's not
exact semitones). The pitch of the sequence is added
to the internal tune of the instrument. The maximum
pitch control is 24 semitones = two octaves. The bar
rolls over after an octave.
Please note that the pitch sequence is just stored within the pattern structure. With any
other preset recalled it plays the same melody.
If you want to edit the sounds or select kits, press the (KIT/SEQ) button to flip
between sound editing, kit select mode or back to sequence mode programming.
