68 Sequencer
Dave Smith Instruments
To play a sequence:
1. Press
play
. Use the
bpm
,
divide
,
or
tap
tempo
controls to adjust
sequencer playback speed
2. To stop playback, press
play
again
.
Alternatively, you can start and stop sequencer playback using a footswitch
connected to the rear-panel
sequencer
jack or using MIDI start/stop messages sent
from a DAW or other MIDI device. See “22. Seq Pedal Mode: Normal, Trigger, Gate,
T-G—Selects the mode for the rear-panel sequencer jack.” on page 127 for more
information about choosing the appropriate mode for these behaviors..
To transpose a polyphonic sequence:
1. Press
play
. The sequence begins playback.
2. Press and hold
record
and press a key on the keyboard. “Middle C”
is the reference point. Playing a note above middle C transposes the
sequence higher by that interval. Playing a note below middle C trans-
poses the sequence lower by that interval.
Editing a Sequence
You can edit a sequence after you’ve recorded it. This is convenient for
fixing mistakes or modifying it without having to completely re-perform it.
To edit a sequence:
1. Press the sequencer’s
record
button.
2. If you have created a sequence with chords, use Soft Knob 1 (
chord
/
note
)
to select any note (1-6) within the chord. Because you can record
up to 6 notes per step, values 1-6 each represents a note. If a track/step
has no note recorded on it, the
velocity
parameter will say “Rest.”
3. Use Soft Knob 2 (
step
)
to select the step you want to edit. If a track/
step has no note recorded on it, the
velocity
parameter will say “Rest.”
4. Use Soft Knob 3 (
note
)
to change the note (C0 - G10). Turn the knob
fully clockwise to add a tie. Alternatively, press a key on the keyboard
to enter the note quickly (along with the velocity at which you play it).
5. To edit a note’s velocity numerically, use Soft Knob 4 (
velocity
)
to
enter a velocity value, 1-127. Turning the knob fully clockwise sets the
step to
rest
.
