NORD MODULAR G2 V1.4x
13. Module reference: Sequencer group
A patch can look like this:
S
R
(
MIDI IN)
TEP
ECORDING OF NOTES FROM THE KEYBOARD
OR
The next patch shows how you can play in the sequence key by key from the G2 keyboard.
A two-pole Switch module is used to switch between 'play' mode and 'step record' mode. The basic patch
is similar to the previous one, with the Link, Rst and Loop connectors connected in the standard way.
By switching the clock between the Keyboard Gate and the Clock Generator and connecting the
Keyboard Gate to the yellow Rec Enable inputs, the patch can be switched easily between play and record
mode. But the little catch is that recording should in this example patch allways start at the first step of
the first sequencer and when the patch is switched to play mode it should also start at the first step (well,
that is how the patcher wanted it to be). And this start behaviour no matter if the clock is running or not.
This means that the reset signal must be set up in a way that this works. The trick used is to make use of
the Ctrl output of the switch module and combine this signal with the Clk Active signal. Two logic
functions are used, a
and an
function. We won't explain in detail here why this works, for now
XNOR
OR
just trust that it works.
The recorded sequence is normally started and stopped by the Master Clock Run/Stop button on the G2
front panel or by
/
commands. But if the clock keeps running while recording notes and
MIDI START
STOP
the patch is switched back to play mode the pattern will start immediately at the beginning.
