THE SEQUENCER

•
Press the [PAGE] key for quickly changing the total length of the pattern. Press the [TRIG] keys to
quickly change the number of steps of the pattern.
•
A 2X time signature setting is useful for increasing the base resolution of the step sequencer to
32nd notes. A 3/4X setting is useful when Analog Keys is playing alongside other instruments set
to the same BPM and you want Analog Keys to play triplets.
ADVANCED MODE
In this mode the tracks of the pattern can be assigned individual lengths. Select ADVANCED mode by navigat-
ing to the SCALE column using the
[LEFT]
arrow key. Select
ADVANCED
by using the
[DOWN]
arrow key. In
ADVANCED mode, two columns exist, TRACK and MASTER.
The TRACK column sets the step length of the track. It works just like setting the pattern length in NORMAL
mode. The settings will only affect the active track. Press the
[TRACK]
keys to select the track whose scale set-
tings will be edited.
The MASTER column is only available in ADVANCED mode. Here the master length, the master change length
and the general time signature of the pattern are set.
LEN
controls the amount of steps the pattern will play before all tracks are restarted. An INF
setting will make the tracks of the pattern loop infinitely, without ever being restarted. Note that
this setting also affects for how long the active pattern will play before a chained pattern will
start playing. This can be overridden by the
CHNG
parameter.
CHNG
controls for how long the active pattern will play before a cued or chained pattern will
begin to play. This setting is important when for example
LEN
is set to INF. If no
CHNG
setting
is made, the pattern will play infinitely and the next pattern will thus not be cued. But if
CHNG
for instance is set to 64, the pattern will behave like a pattern consisting of 64 steps in terms of
cuing and chaining.
MASTER SCALE
is the rightmost setting. It sets the general time signature of the pattern.
•
If INF is selected the active pattern will play infinitely, making it impossible to change to another
pattern.
•
Press [FUNCTION] + [UP]/[DOWN] to set the MASTER LENGTH in increments of 16.
SEQUENCER FEATURES
PARAMETER LOCKS
Parameter lock is a powerful feature that allows trigs to have their own unique parameter values. The note trigs
of a synth track can have, for example, different pitch or filter settings. All parameters found in the PARAMETER
pages and the ARP and NOTE menus are possible to parameter lock and parameter locks can be applied to all
types of tracks. Parameter locks can be removed by either performing a clear locks command, covered in sec-
tion “COPY, PASTE AND CLEAR OPERATIONS” on page 45, or by simply removing the trig and entering it
again.
