• Gate sets the on/off length of each step, on a scale from 1 to 99. At 99,
each note trigger is held until the following step.
• Swing delays every odd-numbered step to create a shuffle rather than
a straight pattern. 50% is no swing, 75% is maximum swing. With 8th
notes, for example, 50% swing gives you even 8th notes, and the more
swing you add, the closer you get to a dotted 8th followed by a 16th
note.
• Rate dials in the sequencer tempo, from 30 to 259.9. The tempo
is shown in the display. When sync'd to MIDI, the rate knob will
increment in exact divisions of time based on the incoming clock.
• Tap this button to tap in the tempo. The sequencer engine updates with
every tap, so you can keep tapping if you need to follow a drifting
tempo, and result is shown in the display. Taps are relative to the
current note value (see the following topic), so if you're set to quarter
notes, each tap is a quarter note. If you're set to 1/8th note triplets, each
tap is one of those, and do on.
