# 10.2 EDITING A PATTERN 10. THE SEQUENCER 3. Press and hold [TRIG 1–16] to select the first pattern in the chain. 4. Press [TRIG 1–16] keys in the same order as you want the chained patterns to play. Keep the previously selected [TRIG] key pressed while you press the next one, the one after that, and so on. You can press the same [TRIG] key again if you wish to add the pattern multiple times in a row. If you want to add a pattern from another bank, use the [SUBTRACKS] keys to select bank and then press [TRIG 1–16] to select pattern. 5. Press [PLAY] to start the sequencer and play the chain. The chain will loop when the final pattern of the chain has been played. To exit chain mode, select a pattern or song using the normal selection process. Please note that the chain will be lost when you create a new chain, select a new pattern, or song. You cannot save chains, and they will be lost when you switch Tonverk off. • Chains can be created while the sequencer is running. • TRANSITION mode must be set to SEQUENTIAL if you wish to create chains. 10.1.4 TRANSITION MODE When changing patterns, the different TRANSITION modes affect the way the active pattern changes to the next pattern. Press [FUNC] + [PTN] to open theTRANSITION mode select menu. Either keep holding [FUNC] while pressing [PTN] to cycle through the modes, or use [UP]/[DOWN] and then press [YES] to select mode. There are four TRANSITION modes. SEQUENTIAL changes patterns after the currently playing pattern reaches its end. This mode is the default mode. DIRECT JUMP immediately changes patterns. The new pattern will start playing from the position where the previous pattern left off. DIRECT START immediately changes patterns. The new pattern will start playing from the beginning. TEMP JUMP immediately changes patterns and the new pattern starts playing from the position where the previous pattern left off. It plays the new pattern once to the end and then returns to the pattern that was playing before the change. You can also use TEMP JUMP mode when you are in CHAIN mode, but then the pattern you change to instead replaces the current pattern in the chain. For example, say that you have a chain set up like this: A01 > A03 > A04 > A02. When the chain is playing, and you are in TEMP JUMP mode, change pattern to A16 while pattern A03 is playing. The pattern will immediately change to A16, and once A16 has ended, then the chain will continue to play from pattern A04. 10.2 EDITING A PATTERN Tonverk offers several input modes when creating or editing a pattern. The modes are GRID RECORDING mode, LIVE RECORDING mode, and STEP EDIT mode. In these modes, you can enter two types of trigs: Note trigs and Lock trigs. 10.2.1 TRIG TYPES A trig is a sequencer event that you can place when you want the sequencer to perform an action on Tonverk. There are two types of trigs that you can use, note trigs and lock trigs. • NOTE TRIGS trigger preset notes or MIDI notes. • LOCK TRIGS trigger parameter locks (but do not trigger notes). For more information, please see “10.10.1 PARAMETER LOCKS” on page 44. 10. THE SEQUENCER Red [TRIG] keys indicate note trigs, and yellow [TRIG] keys indicate lock trigs. Unlit [TRIG] keys indicate steps that do not contain any trigs. Read more about parameter locks in section “10.10.1 PARAMETER LOCKS” on page 44. The method of adding trigs to the sequencer depends on the active record mode – GRID RECORDING or LIVE RECORDING. Note trigs can also be added using STEP EDIT. 10.3 GRID RECORDING MODE GRID RECORDING is a method of composing where you use the [TRIG] keys to add trigs. 1. Press [RECORD] to enter GRID RECORDING mode. The [RECORD] key lights up red to indicate that GRID RECORDING mode is active. 2. Select the track to which you want to add trigs by pressing and holding [TRACK] and then one of the [TRIG] keys. A white [TRIG] key indicates the active track. 3. Place note trigs on the sequencer using the sixteen [TRIG] keys. To add a lock trig, press [FUNC] + [TRIG]. Quickly pressing the [TRIG] key of any of the trigs entered will remove the trig. Pressing a [TRIG] key and holding it, prepares the trig for editing, rather than removing it. 4. Select another track, and add note trigs. Repeat the procedure for all the tracks you want to use. 5. Press [PLAY] to listen to the sequence. Add micro timing to a note trig by pressing and holding the [TRIG] key, and then pressing [LEFT]/[RIGHT]. For more information, please see “10.5 MICRO TIMING” on page 42. Set the retrig speed by pressing and holding the [TRIG] key while navigating to TRIG PAGE 1 and make the desired retrig settings. For more information, please see “10.7 RETRIGS” on page 42, and “11.1 TRIG” on page 50. If the pattern contains more than 16 steps, select the pattern page you want to edit by pressing the [PAGE] key. A fully lit <PATTERN PAGE> LED shows the active pattern page. Press [RECORD] to exit the GRID RECORDING mode. • If your pattern has more than one page you can easily select which page you want to edit. In GRID RECORDING mode, press and hold [PAGE], and then press [UP] and choose SELECT PAGE. While still holding [PAGE], press [TRIG 1–16] to select the active page for editing. You can also cycle through the pages with the [LEFT] and [RIGHT] keys while holding [PAGE]. • You also have the possibility to select which pages of your pattern you want the sequencer to play and loop. The selected pages are then looped on playback. In GRID RECORDING mode, press and hold [PAGE], and then press [DOWN] and choose LOOP PAGES. While still holding [PAGE], press [TRIG 1–16] to select which pattern pages you want to play and loop. Green [TRIG] keys shows the selected pages. The [TRIG 1–16] keys corresponds to pattern page 1–16. Press [PAGE] + [NO] to resume normal playback of all pages in the pattern. • If you use an external MIDI controller to record to Tonverk’s MIDI tracks, the sequencer receives data on the Auto MIDI channel and records on the active track. For more informa tion, please see “17.2.3 CHANNELS” on page 75. • All trigs placed on a track or subtrack can be shifted forward or backward on the sequenc er. While in GRID RECORDING mode, press [FUNC] + [LEFT]/[RIGHT] to move the trigs backward or forward. • In GRID RECORDING mode, press [TRIG] + [YES] to preview a specific trig. The preview includes any parameter locks you have placed on that trig. • When in STEP EDIT, press [KEYBOARD] + [YES] to preview a specific note. The preview includes any parameter locks you have placed on that note or the step. • With CHORD mode enabled, adding a trig in GRID RECORDING mode or using STEP EDIT adds all notes in the selected chord. 10.3.1 STEP EDIT STEP EDIT is part of the GRID RECORDING mode and gives you a practical way to add and remove notes/trigs on specific sequencer steps using the [KEYBOARD]. 1. In normal playback mode, press [STEP EDIT]. 2. Press the [TRIG] key to where you want to add/remove notes. The [TRIG] key turns green. 3. Use the [KEYBOARD] to add/remove notes to the selected trig.
