8.5.10.1 The sequencer's hardware real time controllers

All of the real-time controls concerning the sequencer are based on the hardware [SEQUENCER]

section located in the bottom of the front Origin panel. These controllers allow you to set all the

most important parameters of the step sequencer.

The [Play/Stop] button toggles the sequencer "on" or "off". When set to "on", the

sequencer starts running when a note is pressed and stop when the last note is released.

The [Hold] button toggles hold "on" or "off". When hold is "on", the current playing

sequence loops until the [Hold] button is pressed again.

The [Frequency] encoder sets the speed of the sequencer. The speed is quantized from

the basic internal tempo, or the MIDI tempo if the MIDI Sync is active.

The [Assign] button opens the "assign" pop-up of the selected sub-sequence.

sequence.

NOTE: The [Trig] input is usually connected to an envelope output (plugged on a filter cutoff or on

a VCA volume, for example).

The [Accent] button activates the accent envelope on the current step of the selected

sub-sequence.

NOTE: Connect the accent input to a filter cutoff frequency FM output to get the famous TB303's

accent effect.

The [Slide] button activates the slide function on the current step of the selected sub-

sequence. It gives an effect of portamento between the selected step and the following

step.

The [Lock] button allows holding a particular step to it self. This button locks the

currently playing step until the [Lock] button is pressed again to deactivate it. This option
