Step 4: Sequencer operation
OVERVIEW
The following details show some of the basic operation of the
sequencer. You can create a short pattern of 2 or 3 steps, before
trying more complex patterns. Adjust a single parameter at a time,
such as gate length, ratchet, accent, glide, rest, tie, or swing, and
then listen to its e
ffect during playback.
It will help to choose a simple setting for the synthesizer, and no
modulation of the VCO or VCF.
RECORDING A SIMPLE PATTERN
1.
Press SHIFT and <KYBD to select the keyboard mode.
2.
Initialise the current pattern by pressing SHIFT, RESET, and
PATTERN at the same time. This will delete any previous
steps of the current pattern.
3.
Press REC, and the STEP 1 switch LED will begi
n flashing,
indicating this is the current step about to be added and
edited. (If you cannot select REC, then repeat step 1.)
4.
Press any note on the CRAVE keyboard, or a rest as shown
below. The <KYBD and STEP> switches can be used to
change the octave. , indicated by 8 OCTAVE / LOCATION
LEDs lit red.
5.
To enter a rest instead of a note, press the HOLD/REST
switch. When a rest is added, the LOCATOR LED 8 will light.
6.
Press further notes. The next STEP switch LED will be
flashing after each note or rest has been added.
7.
The gate length of a step can be adjusted using the
TEMPO/GATE LENGTH control. The LOCATOR LEDs will turn
red, showing the gate length from 1 to 8. If set to 8, this
creates a tie with the next step. If the next step is the same
note, this creates a longer note, as the 2 steps are tied.
8.
To create a “Ratchet,” hold SHIFT, and turn the GLIDE
control. The locator LEDs will show the number of ratchets
from 1 to 4, in yellow. For example, with a setting of 4,
the single step is split into 4 equal parts. When a ratchet is
applied, the LOCATION LED 6 will light.
9.
To turn the GLIDE on for a step, turn up the GLIDE control.
To turn o
ff, turn it all the way down. When GLIDE is on for a
step, the LOCATION LED 5 will light.
10.
To increase the brightness or accent, press the RESET/
ACCENT switch. When an accent is applied, the LOCATION
LED 7 will light.
11.
Press REC when you have finished creating the pattern.
It is not saved yet, but it can be played back. Caution:
Do not turn off the unit, or create a new pattern, or the
current unsaved pattern will be lost.
PLAYING A PATTERN
1.
Press PLAY/STOP to listen to the current pattern.
2.
If you decide not to save it, you can repeat the recording
steps above to record a new pattern. Alternatively, press
PATTERN and RESET to recall the currently saved pattern,
and discard any changes.
3.
If you decide to save the pattern, you must follow the
“SAVING A PATTERN” procedure shown below, or it will not
remain in memory if a new pattern is begun, or the power
is turned off.
4.
To create a SWING for this pattern, hold SHIFT and adjust
the TEMPO/GATE LENGTH control. In the center position,
no swing is applied, if turned down, only the off-beats
will play, and if all the way up, only the on-beats will
play. The SWING setting for the pattern is saved when the
pattern is saved as shown below.
