Grid Recording Mode - Elektron Digitone Quick Manual

7.5 GRID RECORDING MODE

GRID RECORDING is a method of composing where you use the [TRIG] keys to add trigs
in the pattern grid.
1. Press [TRACK 1–4] to select the track to which you want to add trigs. A green
[TRACK] key light indicates the active track.
2. Press [RECORD] to enter GRID RECORDING mode. The [RECORD] key lights up
red to indicate that GRID RECORDING mode is active.
3. Use the [TRIG] keys to place note trigs on the sequencer. The trigs note value is the
value specified by the NOTE parameter in the TRIG PARAMETERS page. To add a
lock trig, press [FUNCTION] and [TRIG]. You can enter lock trigs on any sequencer
step, including ones that contain note trigs. Press the [TRIG] key of any of the pre-
viously entered trigs if you wish to remove the trig. Press a [TRIG] key of a trig and
hold it slightly longer to prepare the trig for editing, rather than removing it.
4. Select another track, and add note trigs and lock trigs. Repeat the procedure for all
the tracks you want to use.
5. Press [PLAY] to listen to the sequence.
There is an alternative way to enter note trigs in GRID RECORDING mode that gives
you more control over what note values you want to have on a sequencer step.
