Moog THE SOURCE User Manual

The absolute value of keyboard voltage is stored, so the setting of the octave transpose switch during recording will
determine the octave of sequence playback.
Note that when sequences are recorded, rests, or spaces between notes, are recorded as events, and take up one event
position each. To store the maximum number of actual notes in a sequence, follow this procedure:
1. When recording, play all notes in legato (smooth) style, lifting off the keys only when an actual rest is desired.
2. For playback, use a program set in the multiple trigger mode. This will retrigger the contour generators
whenever the keyboard voltage changes.
Normally, a retrigger would be accomplished during recording only by releasing all keys between notes. Following the
above procedure will prevent a loss of recording length that can run as high as 30%.
The longest time duration that can be held in one storage location is 30 seconds. If a note or rest exceeds 30 seconds,
it will merely take up two event positions, and playback will exactly duplicate the recording (no "glitches" or
retriggers).
Note: The sequencer will stop recording only when g|£2U| or another Level 2 control is touched. Since the
sequencer plays the sequence continuously, the duration of the final event is critical.
In this musical sequence ...
B)
... touching JSWia (or any other Level 2 function) at beat "A" would make the sequence three measures long.
To reproduce the example as written, the last key must be released at beat "A," and four beats of rest must be
counted silently before touching QQQ at beat "B."
In the playback mode, the sequencer output replaces the keyboard output, and the keyboard is "dead"; the
control voltage, octave transpose switches, and trigger are disconnected. Glide, however, can be applied to a
sequence during playback (having Glide on during recording makes no difference).
