Sequencer - Korg Minilogue XD Owner's Manual

Sequencer

In this section, we'll explore recording with the sequencer, one of the elements that makes up a
program. This includes real-time recording, step recording and motion sequence recording, as
well as how to edit the recorded sequences (step edit).
We recommend that you save the sequences you have recorded on the minilogue xd.
The sequence data that you record will be lost if you turn off the power or recall a different
program before saving.
Step recording
1.
Press the REC button in the SEQUENCER section while the sequencer is stopped.
"STEP REC" and "STEP 1" will be indicated in the display.
If the sequence has already been recorded, the note names will be indicated in the display.
Select the step you wish to edit. For instance, press button 3 to select step 3.

2.
Use the keyboard, REST button and other controls to edit the notes.
When you record a note, rest, or tie in step mode, the display will automatically move to the
next step.
Recording notes
The note name for the keys you press on the keyboard will be indicated in the display. Check
the note name in the display, and if it is correct, release your finger to record that note and to
move to the next step.
The note that you played just before releasing your fingers from the keys will be recorded. If
you play a wrong note, do not release the key; instead, keep your finger on the wrong note
while playing the right note. Check the note indicated in the display, and take your finger off
the keyboard to move to the next step.
The "Default Gate Time" (p.37) value from SEQ EDIT mode will be used for the note length
during recording. If you turn the PROGRAM/VALUE knob while playing the keyboard, the
gate time for only the note(s) you played will be changed when recording. If you turn the
PROGRAM/VALUE knob while playing buttons 1–16, the gate time for only the step(s) you
played will be changed.
Recording a rest
You can record a rest by pressing the REST button.
Recording a tie
Press the REST button while holding down a key. The note will be tied to the next note and
recorded.
