DESIGN NOTES
MODES DIFFERENCES
MONO vs POLY ?
Both are 128 steps long.
Both have 4 modulation lanes.
Mono can only have one active note per step meanwhile Poly can have up to 7 active notes per step.
Then, why would you use a Mono track? Since a mono track can only have one active note per step
at a time, it is convenient for quick changes on the melody, when for example you have a one-voice
lead or when you are sequencing a mono synth.
For the rest of the situations, a poly track gives you more freedom.
It is possible to transpose in both modes by pressing the sequencer button and any of the pads of the
grid. The poly sequence will be transposed according to the lowest note.
CHORD vs POLY ?
Both are 128 steps long.
Both have 4 modulation lanes.
These two modes work totally differently. Chord mode allows you to enter chords from a predefined
palette with different types and voicings.
Meanwhile Poly gives more freedom since you can enter notes as you wish, chord provides instant
inspiration with a set of well organized chords in different scales (only diatonic scales are currently
supported).
If you started writing a chord progression in Chord mode, and you feel you need further adjustments,
bridge notes or other flouritures that chord doesn’t provide, you can go for a Poly mode. There are
two ways, copying the chord sequence into a poly sequencer or changing the mode of the sequencer
from Chord to Poly.
MULTITRACK ?
128 steps.
8 tracks
1 modulation lane per track
Multitrack mode can handle 8 melodic or drum/sample tracks.
You can copy one track that you made in a mono sequencer to one of the tracks of a multitrack
sequencer.
In the future we will add the option to show and edit a single track of a multitrack sequencer like if you
were in the mono mode, with octave navigation.
Multitrack is not only for drums! You can set notes per step and other parameters as in mono mode,
furthermore there is a transposition control per track, independent length , time division, and midi
channel. Although, there is only one modulation lane per track (8 in total) and the glide control affects
all the steps or the track.
