· HARMONIZER updated
The Harmonizer is a scale setting for Mono, Polyphonic, Multitrack and Stochastic Sequencer modes
(Followers).
The pitch of the notes is taken from the active chord of the Chord Sequencer or the active set of
notes in a Poly sequencer (“Leader”).
This works as follows: the rhythm and the pitch trend are set by the sequencer of the Follower, but the
final pitch is based on the active chord progression of the “Leader”
HARMO SETUP
Set at least one of the sequencers in Chord or Poly modes. When there is one sequencer in Chord or
Poly mode, the other sequencers (in Mono, Poly, Multitrack or Stochastic modes) will have a new
scale option available: HARMON.
In the sequencer view, change the scale until HARMON is shown
on the screen: press SHIFT + turn 3rd encoder CCW. The
HARMON scale is followed by “Sq #”. # is the number of the
Chord Sequencer that will act as the “Leader”.
Note that the octave parameter of the follower sequencer is still
shown on the bottom right corner of the screen.
Once the scale is set to HARMO, the respective Sequencer will follow the notes of the active chord
progression. To change the “Leader” sequencer just press SHIFT + turn the 4th knob (like for root
note).
PERFORM WITH HARMONIZER
In this mode you are not only in key, but any changes applied to the leader sequencer will affect the
rest of the sequencers with Harmonizer ON. For example, changing the scale, transposing or
modulating the leader sequence or playing directly on the powerful Chord Keyboard, the Poly
keyboard or any external MIDI keyboard or controller will impact the Follower sequencers in a musical
way.
The HARMONIZER works also when using the keyboard of the “Leader” sequencer.
In order to keep the last chord played from the chord keyboard or the last set of notes of the Poly
keyboard, the “Leader” Sequencer has to be deactivated/off. Keyboard HOLD works as expected.
If the “Leader” Sequencer is running and playing a set of chords or notes and the user triggers any
chord or set of notes in the keyboard mode (or external MIDI keyboard), the latter will have preference
over the sequence.
