Accent; Note Slide - Elektron Analog Four Full Reference Manual

THE SEQUENCER

ACCENT

Adding accent trigs is useful for quickly changing the volume and filter envelope behavior, or accentuation, for
chosen steps of a track. Open the ACCENT menu by pressing [FUNCTION] + [BANK B/F].
Select the track that should be affected by pressing the corresponding [TRACK] key. Select the accent value by
turning the LEVEL knob. The higher the value, the more accentuation will be added to accent trigs.
While the ACCENT menu is open, the sequencer will display accent trigs. Place or remove accent trigs by
pressing the [TRIG] keys. If an accent trig is placed on the same sequencer step as a note trig, the note trig will
be accentuated.
Apart from affecting the volume, accent trigs accentuates the modulation carried out by the ENVF envelope. For
the accent trigs to affect the filters, the DEP parameters, found on the FILTERS page and controlling the ENVF
depth, need to be set a value other than 0. The two assignable modulation destinations of the ENVF page will
also be affected by accent trigs, given they also have DEP values other than 0.
•
A note trig can be quickly accented. Keep the note trig pressed and press [BANK B/F]. An accent
trig will automatically be placed on the same sequencer step as the note trig.
•
Press a note trig/trigless lock to quickly see if an accent trig is placed on the same sequencer step
as the trig. If that is the case, the <BANK B/F> LED will light up.

NOTE SLIDE

The NOTE SLIDE menu makes it possible for the pitch of two separate note trigs to slide between each other.
Open the menu by pressing [FUNCTION] + [BANK C/G]. When this menu is active and [TRIG] keys are
pressed, note slide trigs will be placed on the sequencer.
If a note slide trig is placed on the same step as a note trig, the pitch of the previous note trig will slide. For
instance, if a track contains two note trigs and a note slide trig is placed on the same step as the second note
trig, the pitch of the first note trig will slide to the pitch of the second note trig. The speed of the pitch slide is
determined by the SLI parameter, found in the second page of the OSC2 menu. Read more about this parame-
ter in "Appendix A: SYNTH TRACK PARAMETERS".
•
Note slides can be quickly added to note trigs. Keep the note trig pressed and press [BANK C/G].
A note slide trig will automatically be placed on the same sequencer step as the note trig.
•
Press a note trig lock to quickly see if a note slide trig is placed on the same sequencer step as
the trig. If that is the case, the <BANK C/G> LED will light up.
