Sequencer Mode Functions:
PLAY / STOP -
This starts and stops the sequencer
TEMPO -
If you aren't receiving sync externally, this button combination will allow you to set the internal tempo of the
sequencer.
ON/OFF STEP -
To turn notes on and off, simply press the corresponding buttons.
ENTER NOTE -
To enter note information for each step.
TIE NOTES -
In order to enter note data which plays for longer than one step, tie notes together for more expressive patterns.
To un-tie notes, simply press the buttons again and the tie is gone. Associated steps illuminated from the tie must
also be pressed again in order to clear them from the pattern.
GATE TIME -
This button combination allows you to set the individual gate time of each individual step.
ALL GATE TIMES -
This button combination allows you to set the gate time for the entire pattern and each of its steps.
PATTERN SELECT -
This is the process of selecting which pattern you wish to play.
PATTERN WRITE -
This is the button combination for saving your pattern to one of 16 destinations for recall and later playback.
PATTERN LENGTH -
This button combination allows you to set the length of a pattern. This can be done while the sequencer is playing for
real time "last step" type of performance, or for simply setting various lengths for polymetric patterns.
SHUFFLE/SWING -
This combination allows the user to establish a swing or shuffle feel to the pattern's playback. The default setting [8]
approximates the traditional 50% swing feel (or none.)
