"EXT1 - 16" STARTING A SEQUENCE FROM AN EXTERNAL MIDI NOTE

In this operating mode it is possible to start one or more sequences from an external MIDI note.
On menu page 6 you can select, which note will start the sequence.
Caution!!
Pay attention during your trigger experiments, because there is always the possibility of unwanted
paralysis of one or all sequences. When you decide that a sequence should trigger another
sequence at step 16, then it has to play step 16. When the cycle length of the trigger sequence is
only 8, the selected sequence will never run.
Moving the first beat: menu page 6:
Some sequences sound great, but they don't fit to a synchronized drum computer. It seems as
though the first beat of the drum computer is not on the first beat of the POLYMORPH sequencer.
In addition when the setup changes it seems as though the POLYMORPH stumbles. The reason is
that when entering the notes in the sequencer, one doesn't notice that the metrum has been
moved one or more steps backward or forward. As soon as the POLYMORPH plays more than two
cycles it seems as though everything is in order. Only when starting the sequence one has the
impression that the POLYMORPH is not starting on the first note, but in the middle of the beat.
The remedy is on menu pages 6 of the sequencer menu. There you can move the 1 of the running
sequencer.
Now let the sequence that you think has moved run. Push [F2] when the sequencer plays 1,
independent from the beat position that the running light suggests. In the next moment all
currently active (not muted) sequences are moved.
Call up the sequencer menu of menu page 2. In the display appears:
Edit P1 Sequence
<2> Resolutn: 16
Set the resolution of sequence 1 to "1" and the resolution of sequence 2 and 3 to 16th.
Select with [PAGE<>] menu page 4.
Edit P1 Sequence
<4> StrtTRG:Free
On this menu page you adjust the triggering of sequence 1 to "Free" and sequence 2 and 3
to "Seq1"
Now select with [PAGE<>] menu page 5.
Edit P2 Sequence
<5> TrgNote:1
Select the first step of the first sequence as the trigger for sequence 2, and for sequence 3,
the second step of the first sequence.
Now, when you push [START/STOP], both of the sequences 2 and 3 will be played
alternately.
