10. THE SEQUENCER
made using the DATA ENTRY knobs are recorded as parameter locks and add lock triggers where
needed.
3.	 Press [PLAY] to exit LIVE RECORDING mode while keeping the sequencer playing. If LIVE RECORD­
ING mode is active and [RECORD] is pressed, GRID RECORDING mode will be activated.
4.	 Press [STOP] to stop both recording and playback of the sequencer.
You can use an external MIDI controller such as a keyboard to input NOTE, TRIG
VELOCITY, and TRIG LENGTH data in LIVE RECORDING mode. Just play the notes on the
external keyboard, and the sequencer will record them. The first note sets the TRIG VELOCI­
TY value for all notes on the trig. The last note that is released sets the TRIG LENGTH for all
notes on the trig.
10.5 MICRO TIMING
Here you can add micro timing to a note trig, moving it ahead or behind the beat. Micro timing can be cus­
tomized on any of the sequencer steps on both audio and MIDI tracks. In GRID RECORDING mode, press
and hold one or several [TRIG] keys and then press [LEFT]/[RIGHT] to access the pop-up MICRO TIM­
ING menu that shows the time offset for the chosen sequencer step(s) on the active track. Press [LEFT]/
[RIGHT] to adjust the time offset in large increments. Press [UP]/[DOWN] to adjust the time offset in small
increments. To exit the MICRO TIMING menu, release the [TRIG] key(s). The micro timing settings are
stored in the active pattern.
10.6 TRANSFORM MENU
Here you can affect certain aspects of the trigs already placed on a track. The Transform actions affect all
the trigs on the selected track. Press [FUNC] + [-] to access the TRANSFORM menu.
VELOCITY UNLOCK removes all parameter locks for the VEL parameter.
VELOCITY RANDOMIZE randomizes the velocity of the trigs by placing parameter locks on the VEL
parameter.
VELOCITY RAMP UP sets the velocity of the trigs from low to high by placing parameter locks on the
VEL parameter.
VELOCITY RAMP DOWN sets the velocity of the trigs from high to low by placing parameter locks on the
VEL parameter.
PLACEMENT RANDOMIZE randomizes the placement of the trigs on the track.
PLACEMENT REVERSE reverses the placement of the trigs on the track.
10.7 RETRIGS
Retrigs can be customized on any of the sequencer steps on the audio tracks. In GRID RECORDING mode,
press [TRIG PARAMETERS] to access the retrig parameters. Hold one or several [TRIG] keys and then set
the desired retrig options for the trig(s).
For more information about the parameters on this page, please see “12.2 TRIG PAGE 1” on page 54.

10. THE SEQUENCER
10.8 QUANTIZE MENU
The quantization affects all micro-timed and off-grid trigs on the sequencer’s tracks. Press [FUNC] + [KEY­
BOARD G#] to access this menu. Change settings with DATA ENTRY knob E and F.
TRK affects all the trigs of the active track in real-time. The higher the quantize value, the more the
trigs will be quantized. Press [TRIG 1–16] key to select the track to quantize.
PATTERN affects all the trigs of all tracks in the pattern in real time. The higher the quantize value, the
more the trigs will be quantized.
Press [NO] to exit the menu.
10.9 PAGE SETUP MENU
You can set the length and timing of the pattern and the tracks in this menu. The sequencer has up to 256
steps, spread across 16 sequencer pages with 16 steps per page. The SCALE menu has two modes. In
PER PATTERN mode all tracks share the same length. In PER TRACK mode, each track can have different
lengths. Press [FUNC] + [PAGE] to access the SCALE menu. Press [FUNC] + [YES] to toggle between the
two SCALE modes. Use the DATA ENTRY knobs to adjust the settings.
10.9.1 PER PATTERN MODE
In this mode, all tracks of the pattern share the same length and time signature.
LENGTH sets the number of steps on the current pattern page. The leftmost number displays the
number of steps on the active pattern page. If you use 17 steps or more in a pattern and GRID RE­
CORDING mode is active, the [PAGE] key is used to toggle between the different pattern pages.
Press [FUNC] and then turn data entry knob E to change length in even steps of 16.
SCALE controls the speed of track playback in multiples of the current tempo. For a setting of 1/8
plays back the track at one-eighth of the set tempo. 3/4 plays the track back at three-quarters of the
tempo; 3/2 plays back the track twice as fast as the 3/4 setting. 2 makes the track play at twice the
speed of the BPM.
When you extend the length of a pattern, its trigs copies automatically over to the new steps. If a pattern
consists of for example two pages and the pattern length is increased to four pages, the two additional
pattern pages are then copies of the first two pattern pages.
Press the [PAGE] key to change the total length of the pattern quickly. Press the [TRIG] keys to change
the number of steps of the pattern quickly.
9.9.2 PER TRACK MODE
In this mode, you can assign individual length and scale to the tracks of the pattern. Press [FUNC] +
[YES] to switch between the two scale modes.

Chunks share pages with neighboring sections; text before/after the section heading belongs to the adjacent sections.
