In Sequencer mode, Hold has several functions.
In Step-record mode, it adds a tie or silence.
In Real-time recording mode, it clears the content in real time.
Used in combination with the Seq Mod or A or B button it becomes a "Clear Seq
Mod" or "Clear Sequence" button.
When the sequencer is disabled, it resumes its regular Key Hold function.
Tip: In addition to creating exciting arpeggios, Key Hold is a great tool when building a
generative, self-evolving patch. A self-evolving preset is one that continually changes timbre
or pitch in an automated way without the use of a sequencer: for example, by modulating
pitch with several sources simultaneously, such as the LFO and the Cycling Envelope. If the
LFO and Cycling Envelope each have an independent Rate, the resulting pitch will never be
the same.

11.2. Sequencer and Arpeggiator

Next to the Hold icon you'll see four buttons: Up | A, Order | B, Random | 0, and Pattern | >.
These offer extensive Arpeggiator and Sequencer functionality.
We've devoted separate chapters to these buttons to do them justice. Please refer to
