THE SEQUENCER

BASIC PATTERN OPERATIONS

The sequencer of the Analog Rytm stores information in patterns. A pattern controls the playback of each of the drum
tracks and the FX track by the trigs entered on the sequencer.
SELECTING A PATTERN
1 Press the [BANK GROUP] key to toggle bank group. If, for example, bank group A-D is selected, patterns in banks A,
B, C and D can be accessed.
2 Next, press a [BANK] key followed by a [TRIG] key (1-16) to select a pattern within the selected bank. Patterns containing
data are shown by half-bright red <TRIG> LEDs. The currently active pattern is shown by a full-bright red <TRIG> LED.
Empty pattern slots are shown with unlit <TRIG> LEDs.
3 To select, for example, pattern B05, select bank group A-D using the [BANK GROUP] key. Then press and hold [BANK
B/F] and press [TRIG] key 5.
PATTERN CONTROL
Pressing [PLAY] will start the playback of a pattern. Pause by pressing [PLAY] again. Pressing [STOP] will stop the play-
back of all tracks. The sound will be cut off, but effects like the delay will continue to be heard until the delay repeats have
faded out. Quickly press [STOP] twice to stop playback of all tracks and fade out the send effects.
PATTERN MODES
When changing patterns, the new pattern can be started in three ways. Toggle between the PATTERN modes by pressing
[FUNCTION] + [BANK GROUP]. The LCD screen will briefly show which mode is activated. The <PATTERN MODE> LED will
permanently show which mode is active.
DIRECT START will immediately change patterns. The new pattern will start playing from the beginning. Shown by a red
<PATTERN MODE> LED.
DIRECT JUMP will immediately change patterns. The new pattern will start playing from the position where the previous
pattern left off. Shown by a green <PATTERN MODE> LED.
SEQUENTIAL will change patterns after the currently playing pattern reaches its end. This mode is the default mode.
Shown by an unlit <PATTERN MODE> LED.

PATTERN RECORDING MODES

The Analog Rytm offers two main modes of inputting trigs when creating a pattern: GRID RECORDING mode and LIVE
RECORDING mode. To create a new pattern, first select and empty pattern slot in one of the banks.
TRIG TYPES
Two types of trigs, note trigs and trigless locks, can be entered in the RECORDING modes. Note trigs trig notes (Sounds
of the chosen drum track) while trigless locks can be used to apply parameter locks without trigging notes (see PARAME-
TER LOCKS on the following page). Setting SYN and SMP (on the TRIG page) to zero on a trig will turn it into a trigless lock.
Note trigs are indicated by full-bright <TRIG> LEDs and trigless locks are indicated by half-bright <TRIG> LEDs. <TRIG>
LEDs above steps not containing any trigs remain unlit.
