If you don’t notice any impact on the note sequence, you may have selected the wrong
sequencer line by mistake – the direction can be set differently for each line! The note line
is line L11
“TGrp1”
.
Using the "Skip"-function:
The ”Skip”-function allows for the skipping of single steps or a whole sequence of steps.
Select the
[Function]-
button in the sequence-edit-section and hold it down. While holding
it down push numeric-button 2
[Skip]
. You can now release both buttons. The
"Skip"
-
function has now been assigned to the numeric buttons. Accessing this function prompts
the following display-menu:
3/7:Fnc Skip ->AllOsc BPM:120
Seq:L11
With the numeric buttons you can select the steps you want to ”Skip”.
TIP: You have just learned that you can access various edit-pages in the
"Sequence-Edit"-menu directly with the help of the [Function]- and numeric-
buttons. This functionality exists parallel to the usual selection mode using
[Page-Up]- and [Page-Down]-buttons. For instance you can access the page
for activating triggerpoints by pushing the [Page-Down] button repeatedly,
but also alternativly by pushing [Function] + numeric button [1] (Trig).
Using the "Mute"-function
You can access the "Mute"-function by holding down the
[Function]
-button and
simultaneously selecting numeric-button 4
[Mute]
. Once you’ve accessed the function,
you’ll be able to mute individual/single steps using numeric buttons
[1]
-
[16]
. Contrary to
the skip-functions the muted steps are not being skipped but will create pauses.
Changing the resolution
Most presets – when no sequencer line has been edited – have the resolution of the
sequencer line set to 16
th
notes. However, the Spectralis sequencer allows for a wide
range of step resolutions. You can set the length of a single-step from anywhere between
a 192th note and 12 bars. You will really appreciate the wide range of options, when you
wish to enter extended parameter-changes controlled by sequencerlines. For instance, if
you are setting the step resolution of a line to a value of 1 bar, a 4 step long filter-
modulation-decay-Step Envelope will close the filter slowly over the course of 4 bars.
To change the step-resolution select menu-page 2 of the sequence-edit-menu. Just chose
the
[Function]
-button within the sequence-edit-section, select the desired sequencer
line in the corresponding menu (in our example line 11 ”AllOsc”) and push
the
[Page-Up]
-button. You will now see the following menu:
