4.6.5. Sequencer Running Direction

Hitting one of the buttons labelled  

  ,    ,    

    determines the direction in which the current preset / pattern 

will run.

•        (LED on):  Sequencer is running forwards from left to right (default setting). 

Hit the     (start) button to start the sequence on step 1. You may use this in real time  

as a performance feature.

•        (LED on):  Sequencer is running backwards.

•        (LED on):  Sequencer is running back and forth like a pendulum. First and last step are only   

played once.

4.6.6. Random Sequence

Hit 

RANDOM

 to randomise the sequence. The results will differ, depending on whether you were in preset 

or pattern mode before using the random function:

•  Randomising out of pattern mode will randomise the steps and note pitches.

•  Randomising out of preset mode will randomise the steps, note pitch, and the values of the current 

setting of MAGMA´s sound generation.

Hitting 

     ,      

or         will ”restore” the sequence to its original state. If you want to keep the result of the 

randomisation, please store it as pattern or preset. Without storing, the randomised sequence will be lost 

after changing to a new preset / pattern, or after powering MAGMA down. You will find all about the store 

functions on pages 25, 26.

4.7. Clock Divider

The four sequencer tracks can run at different tempo ratios. For each track, you can select a clock divider 

which can be a value from 1 to 16. Each value corresponds to a fraction of the master clock tempo (tempo 

setting of the internal sequencer or an external MIDI clock). This will allow you to create complex sounding 

sequences with just a bit of programming effort. 

To select different tempo ratios, please 

•  Hit 

SHIFT

 (hold) + 

NOTE

  or  

M1

  or  

M2

  or  

M3

  to select a track.

•  Hit 

SHIFT

 (hold) + 

PLAY

 (hold) + 

VALUE 

•  Turning 

VALUE

 will light up 

LED 1

 to 

16

, displaying the corresponding tempo fraction for the selected 

track.

This setting will be stored as part of a preset / pattern.

4.8. Chaining Patterns

In pattern mode, you can easily daisy-chain two or more patterns to form a longer ”composition”.

•  Hit 

SHIFT

 (hold) + 

PATTERN

This will enter pattern mode.
