8.2.4. More about CC# sequences

The CC# values can be sequenced as we've seen in the previous example. But, they can
also be used in a more general way to set parameters in an external synth. If you send
a CC value in the first step of a sequence and there are no other values programmed in
the sequence this value will be held during the sequence. This feature thus gives you the
creative option to send a new configuration to the external synth at the start of each pattern!
Tip: Patterns can be chained. Patterns containing Control values are no exception. If you
have three similar patterns chained, you could store control values in the first step of each
pattern. In the first pattern you store a CC# value that opens sets the filter half-closed, in the
second pattern you store a value that opens the filter a bit further, the third pattern opens
the filter completely.
Here is a drawing with four CCs and four steps.
If you use the steps of sequences to send different control values in each step there is a
feature you can use with great effect: the looper. The Looper also works in control mode. If
you loop part of a sequence you will also loop the control values in that part of the sequence.
Note: There is one important difference between standard tracks and control tracks; a
standard track can be muted, a control track cannot. It will always transmit controller data
as long the track is playing.

8.2.5. Visual feedback

If at least one CC# has recorded automation in a step, this step will be lit. Otherwise, it is
unlit.
If a knob has recorded automation, its LED ring will show only one moving LED (or one lit
and one neighbour dimmed) that corresponds to the current value of the CC.
If a knob has no recorded automation, its LED ring will have all LEDs lit up to the value of
the CC#(plus one dimmed LED at the end if applicable).
