are indicating, that further edit pages can be reached by pushing the corresponding encoder
button. A later chapter will cover these menu pages, which allow to change a single
parameter for all steps simultaneously.
Resolution and sequence length
[Page-Up] opens the second page of the sequence edit menu:
Rslt - Sequence line resolution
Len - Linelength
Skip-function
The third page of the sequence menu assigns the skip function to the numeric buttons.
Press and hold [Function] and press numeric button [2] (Skip) to access this page
directly:
The function is self explanatory. Just keep in mind, that a sequence line with skipped
steps differs in length from a line, that has no skipped steps and the same defined sequence
length. Instead of creating a pause, like with the mute function, the skipped step will
force the sequencer to jump ahead to the next step reducing the linelength defined with
the resolution parameter.
Step-glide
The next menupage allows to activate a glide function for selectable steps.
If you enter value-offsets for the steps the sequencer normally plays aprupt valuechanges
between the defined steps. Sometimes a smooth transition from one step to the next
gives much better sonic results. The glide function creates these smooth transitions. Just
2/7:Resol
Rslt:16th
Each sequence line in the Spectralis has it's independent resolution. By default, the
resolution is set to 16th which means, that every step is equivalent to a 16th note. The
resolution can be set from 1/192th to 13/1.
Each sequence line has an independent length in multiples of steps. The length of a
sequence can vary between 1 and 192 steps.
As soon as a line has a length above 16 steps, the tempo/shuttle encoder allows for
shifting the visible segment of a sequence. Menupages 1 and 3 to 7 are showing the
selected line segment in the upper left corner of the display. The tempo/shuttle encoder
toggles between tempo control and segment shifting by pushing the encoder button.
