  • Page 37: The Sequencer

    11. THE SEQUENCER 11. THE SEQUENCER The sequencer of the Analog Rytm stores beat information in patterns. A pattern controls the playback of the drum tracks, the FX track and various pattern-specific aspects of these. Each of the 8 banks, ranging from A to H, contains 16 patterns, which means 128 patterns are instantly available for each project.

  • Page 38: Tempo

    It is shown with an unlit <PATTERN MODE> LED. 11.3 EDITING A PATTERN Analog Rytm offers two main modes of input when editing or creating a pattern, GRID RECORDING mode and LIVE RECORDING mode. In these modes, two types of trigs can be entered: note trigs and trigless locks.

  • Page 39: Live Recording Mode

    11. THE SEQUENCER Set the retrig speed by pressing and holding the [TRIG] key while pressing [ARROW] keys [UP] or [DOWN]. Similarly, a pop-up menu will appear on the screen, where various retrig settings can be made. Read more about the retrig menu on page 36. If the pattern contains more than 16 steps, select the pattern page you want to edit by pressing the [PAGE] key.

  • Page 40: Track Menu

    11. THE SEQUENCER LENGTH Sets the duration of the retrig velocity curve in fractions of, or rational or integer multiples of, a step (0,125 - INF). 1/16 is the nominal length of one step. This setting affects the behavior of the velocity curve (see directly below), by defining the boundaries of its envelope.

  • Page 41: Pattern Menu

    11. THE SEQUENCER 11.6 PATTERN MENU In the PATTERN menu patterns can be saved and reloaded. Open the menu by pressing [FUNCTION] + [SCENE]. Select between the available commands by using the [UP]/[DOWN] arrow keys. Confirm selec- tions with [YES/SAVE]. RELOAD PATTERN will reload the active pattern.

  • Page 42: Click Track

    Range 0-127. 11.8 CLICK TRACK The CLICK TRACK menu controls the internal metronome of Analog Rytm. Open the menu by pressing [FUNCTION] + [RETRIG]. Use the [UP]/[DOWN] arrow keys or the LEVEL knob to scroll through the list of settings.

  • Page 43: Advanced Mode

    A 2X time signature setting is useful for increasing the base resolution of the step sequencer to 32nd notes. A 3/4X setting is useful when Analog Rytm is playing alongside other instruments set to the same BPM, and you want Analog Rytm to play triplets.

  • Page 44: Sound Locks

    11. THE SEQUENCER ic track (or on several tracks) in time with the sequencer, i.e. all steps reached on the pattern playing will be erased, until the keys are released. Sound locks will not be erased. Remove specific parameter locks in real time by pressing [NO/RELOAD] while pressing the DATA EN- TRY knob corresponding to the parameter that will be removed.

  • Page 45: Trig Mute

    11. THE SEQUENCER • Conditional parameter locks are a great way to add variety to a pattern. To set up a grid of mutually exclusive or conclusive note trigs across any of the synth tracks, and throwing some probability locks in there as well (perhaps, in turn, also sporting an array of logically conditioned trigs) is a neat way to make the most minimal of compositions come alive with randomness.

  • Page 46: Slide

    11. THE SEQUENCER Set the SWING ratio to 51-80%, by turning the LEVEL knob or by pressing [ARROW] keys [UP] or [DOWN]. The default setting is equal spacing, 50%. Customize the swing pattern, shown by lit <TRIG> LEDs, using the [TRIG] keys. 11.10.7 SLIDE The PARAMETER SLIDE menu makes it possible for the parameter values of two separate note trigs or trigless locks of a track to slide between each other.

  • Page 47: Quick Save And Reload Commands

    11. THE SEQUENCER 11.10.9 QUICK SAVE AND RELOAD COMMANDS Kits, Sounds, tracks, patterns and songs can instantly be saved and reloaded. When reloading, settings will revert to their saved state. • To quick save a kit, press [YES/SAVE] + [FX]. This command is the same as the SAVE KIT command found in the KIT menu, covered on page 20.

  • Page 48: Chains And Songs

    12. CHAINS AND SONGS 12. CHAINS AND SONGS Chains are sequences that consist of one or more patterns. Chains are used to form songs. 256 pattern entries are available to the 64 chains. For example, one chain can consist of 256 patterns or two chains can consist of 128 patterns each.

  • Page 49: Adding Song Rows And Assigning Patterns And Chains

    12. CHAINS AND SONGS Songs are played row by row, starting from the top and moving towards the bottom. If a song row con- tains a chain, all patterns in the chain will play before the song play position moves to the next row. The song play position is shown with inverted pattern number graphics.

  • Page 50: Song Menu

    12. CHAINS AND SONGS The mute graphics on the bottom right of the LCD screen will show the muted tracks with a (-) symbol. Unmuted tracks are shown as squares. To mute tracks of another pattern in the song, simply move the cursor to that pattern using the [ARROW] keys and press [YES/SAVE].
