But at 100% the rhythm, velocity and gate times of all three sequencers will be entirely

random, within the constraints of the Probability setting. The pitches of SEQ1 and SEQ2

will be selected at random also within the pitches of their current sequences.

The Randomness encoder is touch-sensitive, so you can check its setting without editing

the value by touching the encoder.

6.5.2 Probability

The Probability value will determine how often the Randomness will occur. Its encoder

has a range of 0-100%, with 0% having no effect on the music.

At 100% probability, the pattern will be constantly random with the amount based on

the value set by the Randomness encoder.

At low probability settings the randomness might only change the rhythm or velocity

infrequently, maybe once every few bars. Lower probabilities will mean that much of the

pattern is not affected and will play as normal.

For example, if the Probability value is at 10%, then only 10% of the time something

random might happen. And if the value is increased to 50%, then random variations

might happen half of the time.

Each sequencer can have an independent setting for both the Randomness and

Probability parameters. To experiment with this, press the CURRENT TRACK button: any

changes to the Randomness or Probability settings after this will affect only the current

sequence. Then you can select the other sequencers and edit their settings for these

parameters as well.

To disable the independent settings so that all three sequencers will use the same

Randomness and Probability settings, simply toggle the button off.

Note: the CURRENT TRACK button is disabled in Control Mode, but the global

Randomness and Probability settings can still be used.

The Roller/Looper strip does different things depending on the mode:

When in Control Mode the strip functions as a Roller. It will repeat a pad at the

rhythm you select by placing your finger on the strip. You can use the pressure-
