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.

10. THE SEQUENCER
The TRACK column sets the step length (number of sequencer steps) and scale (speed) of the track
playback. The settings only affect the active track.
The PATTERN column sets the master change length and the master reset length of the pattern, both
measured in sequencer steps.
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.
•	 The SCALE setting also affects the speed of all LFOs, the delays time settings, the
arpeggiator and retrig speed.
•	 A SCALE setting of 2 helps increase the base resolution of the step sequencer to
32nd notes. A SCALE setting of 3/4 is practical when Tonverk is playing alongside
other instruments set to the same BPM, and you want Tonverk to play triplets.
CHANGE (Pattern Change) controls for how long the active pattern plays before it changes to a cued
or chained pattern.
RESET (Pattern Reset) controls the number of steps the pattern plays before all tracks reset and re­
start from the first step on the first page. An INF setting makes the tracks of the pattern loop infinitely,
without ever being restarted. Note that this setting also affects how long the active pattern plays
before a chained pattern starts playing. The CHANGE parameter overrides this if its parameter value
is less than the RESET value.
10.10 SEQUENCER FEATURES
10.10.1 PARAMETER LOCKS
Parameter locks make it possible to set every trig to have its unique parameter values. The note trigs of
an audio track can, for example, have different pitch, amp, or filter settings. It is possible to parameter
lock the parameters found on the PARAMETER pages, and you can apply parameter locks to all types
of tracks. For a complete overview of all parameters on the PARAMETER pages, please see “12. AUDIO
TRACK PARAMETERS” on page 54 and “APPENDIX A: MACHINES” on page 84.
Adding parameter locks in GRID RECORDING mode.
1.	 Press [RECORD] to enter GRID RECORDING mode.
2.	 Press a [TRIG] key to add a Note trig, or [FUNC] + [TRIG] key to add a Lock trig, to where you
want to perform a parameter lock.
3.	 Press and hold the [TRIG] key of a previously placed trig (note trig or a lock trig).
4.	 Turn the DATA ENTRY knobs that control the parameter you want to lock, and set it to the desired
value. The graphics become inverted for the locked parameter, and the locked parameter value is
displayed. The [TRIG] key of the locked trig blinks red (for note trigs) or yellow (for lock trigs) to
indicate the trig now contains a parameter lock.
Remove a single parameter lock by holding [TRIG] + pressing the DATA ENTRY knob of the locked pa­
rameter. You can erase all parameter locks from a trig if you remove the note trig and then enter it again.
Adding parameter locks in LIVE RECORDING mode.
1.	 Press and hold [RECORD], then press [PLAY] to enter LIVE RECORDING mode.
