4. PROGRAMMING SECTION

This is how to program the four sequencer tracks:

Note: Maybe it is necessary to make room for a new preset first. In this case, please refer to 

page 27, section 4.5., ”Clearing notes, presets...”. 

4.2.1. Setting notes

Obviously, it makes sense to start with track 1, the note track. It is up to you, if you program the sequence 

while the Sequencer is stopped or running. 

•  Hit 

SHIFT

 (hold) + 

NOTE

 to enter the note track.

•  Hit 

STEPs

 to enable / disable step(s). Active step(s) light up.

 

Please note: When editing an existing preset / pattern, it is necessary to enter note track first to 

enable / disable steps and / or access the following programming steps 4.2.2. ”note length” and 

4.2.3. ”note pitch”.  

4.2.2. Note length

Each step creates a note which means the sequence is divided into 16 1/16 notes. 1/16 is the shortest 

available note-length. It is easy to program longer notes:

Let‘s assume you have already entered the note track and set some steps for a wonderful sequence (see 

above).  

•  Hit a 

STEP

 (hold) + another successive 

STEP

. Now you have created one single long note. By using 

odd step numbers, you can program dotted notes.

4.2.3. Note pitch

By default, each note set in an empty sequence is pitched at C. To program different notes (i. e. melodies or 

something more adventurous), please

•  Hit a 

STEP

 (hold) + turn the 

VALUE

 encoder.

As long as a step button is depressed, the upper row of steps becomes a one-octave ”keyboard” showing
