WORK WITH SEQUENCES

Now that you've placed samples on your pads, you can record

Sequences with them.

Push the SEQS button to bring up the Sequences Grid. It contains 16

cells, each with a tiny piano roll view of the sequence events. (Don't

worry, you don't have to edit sequences on them!)

You'll also notice a letter in the lower right of each cell – labeled A, B,

C, or D – to indicate the currently active Pattern (see below).

Sequences have a lot of flexibility. Not only can you assign any sequence to work with any

pad, but you can trigger pads from the PADS and KEYS screens to play along with a

recorded sequence, or record a sequence in real time.

You can play back multiple sequences at the same time, and if you want to record into a

sequence while playing others, you can select which sequence and pattern you are

recording to.

Note:

► While you can create sequences with Step Count below 16, they won't

cycle in a loop of fewer than 16 steps.

Each sequence in the Sequences Grid can have up to four patterns, labeled A through D.

All patterns in the cell have the same Sequence mode (Keys, Pads, MIDI), the same target

(pad or MIDI Out), and the same quantization settings. Each sequence pattern can have a

different Step Length (quantization level), from 1/64th note to 8 bars in straight time or

triplets, and Step Count (number of steps in the sequence) from 1 to 256. Only one pattern

per sequence may play or be edited at a time.

Push SEQS to open the Sequences Grid.

Turn the bottom right knob to swap out the right panel for the layer selector.

Touch the letter for the layer you want to play and edit. The layer is displayed in

the lower right corner.
