The Sequencer - Elektron Digitone Quick Manual

7. THE SEQUENCER

The Digitone's sequencer stores its information in patterns. A pattern controls the play-
back of the synth tracks and the MIDI tracks by the trigs entered on the sequencer.
7.1 SELECTING A PATTERN
1. Press [BANK] + [TRIG 9–16] key to select bank A–H.
2. Press [TRIG 1–16] key to select pattern 1–16. (Press [PTN] + [TRIG 1–16] if you want
to change pattern without changing bank.)
White [TRIG] keys indicate pattern positions that contain data. A red [TRIG] key indicates
the current active pattern. Empty patterns [TRIG] keys are unlit.
7.2 PATTERN CONTROL
Press [PLAY] to start the pattern playback. Press [PLAY] again to pause. Press [STOP] to
stop the playback. The audio is cut off, but effects like the delay continues until the delay
repeats fades out. Quickly press [STOP] twice to stop playback of all tracks and the fade
out of the send effects.
If you change patterns during playback, the patterns changes after the current playing
pattern reaches its end.
7.3 TRIGS AND TRIG TYPES
A trig is a sequencer event that you can place where you want the sequencer to perform
an action on the Digitone. There are two types of trigs available in both recording modes:
Note trigs and Lock trigs.
• Note trigs trigger notes on synth tracks and MIDI tracks.
• Lock trigs trigger parameter locks, but without triggering notes.
7.4 PATTERN RECORDING MODES
The Digitone offers two main modes of inputting trigs when you create a pattern: GRID
RECORDING mode and LIVE RECORDING mode. To create a new pattern first select an
empty pattern slot in one of the banks.
