SEQUENCER

USING THE SEQUENCER
The sequencer allows us to enter notes into a pattern.
Patterns can be looped, and extended from 16 to up to
64 steps per pattern.
Each pattern alows for two tracks per pattern (Part A
and B), plus recorded moves from knobs and faders.
Each sequence is saved in a section called a "pattern."
Patterns are called by entering their saved locations.
Patterns are organized by group (A, B), Bank (1 – 8)
and number (1 – 8), letting you save a total of 128

patterns.

SELECTING A PATTERN
1. Hold down the START button and press the BANK
[1 (5)] – [4 (8)] buttons.
This selects the bank.
You can select the group (A/B) by holding down the
START button and repeatedly pressing the BANK [1
(5)] – [4 (8)] buttons.
2. Hold down the START button and press the
NUMBER [1] – [8] buttons.
This selects the pattern.
You can also turn the VALUE knob while holding down
the SHIFT button to select the bank and pattern.
When you press the MENU button while holding down
the START button, the START button remains in a
pressed-down state. In this case, you can still select
banks and patterns even if you take your finger off the
START button. To restore the button to normal, press
the MENU button.
PLAYING PATTERNS
Here's how to play back a pattern you've selected.
1. Select the pattern to play back (Selecting a Pattern).
2. Press the START button to make the indicator light.
This plays back the pattern.
By holding down the START button and pressing the
PART [A] or [B] button, you can mute the playback of
the respective part. The indicators blink for parts that
are muted.
TEMPO SETTINGS
Sets the pattern's tempo.
1. Press the SEQ button to make the indicator light.
The unit enters sequencer mode. The current tempo is
shown on the display.

You can switch between the tempo and patch displays
with each press of the VALUE knob.
