# 10.1 PATTERN OPERATIONS 10. THE SEQUENCER 10. THE SEQUENCER The sequencer of the Digitakt II stores information in patterns. A pattern controls the playback of the tracks and various pattern-specific aspects of the tracks. Each of the eight banks, A to H, contains 16 patterns, which means 128 patterns are available for each project. For more information, please see “14.3 PATTERN MENU” on page 76. A pattern contains: • General trig settings on the TRIG page (default note pitch, velocity et cetera). • The parameter settings on the SCR, FLTR, AMP, FX and MOD pages. • The settings on the DELAY, REVERB, CHORUS and MIXER pages. • Quantization settings. • Note trigs and Lock trigs for all tracks. • Parameter/Sample/presets locks. • Length and time signature for the tracks. 10.1 PATTERN OPERATIONS Digitakt II can seamlessly switch between patterns. This, together with the ability to patterns, is a handy feature when improvising live. For more information, please see “10.1.3 CHAINS” on page 40. 10.1.1 SELECTING BANK AND PATTERN Press [PTN] and then use the [LEFT]/[RIGHT] keys to select a bank (if you want to select a pattern from another bank than the current). Then press [TRIG 1–16] to select a pattern. There is a secondary way to change bank and pattern, more similar to earlier Elektron devices. Press [FUNC] + [PTN], and then press [TRIG 9–16] to select a bank. Then press [TRIG 1–16] to select a pat tern within that bank. If you just want to select a pattern within the current bank, press [PTN] + [TRIG 1–16]. Press [PTN] or [NO] to exit bank/pattern selection. White [TRIG] keys indicate pattern positions that contain data. A red [TRIG] key indicates the current active pattern. Empty patterns are unlit. When a pattern is playing, and a new pattern is selected, the new pattern position will be shown flashing in the upper left corner of the screen. Once the last step of the pattern has played, the new pattern will start, and the pattern position will cease to flash. • Patterns can be changed while the sequencer is running. • Patterns can be changed and queued by sending program change messages. • It is possible to copy a pattern, and then paste it to one or several locations without leaving the active pattern. You can also clear one or several non-active patterns. - To copy, first press [PATTERN]. Then press [TRIG] + [RECORD] to select the pattern you wish to copy and copy it. Then press [TRIG] + [STOP] to select to where you want to paste the pattern and past it. - To clear, first press [PATTERN]. Then press [TRIG] + [PLAY] to select the pattern you wish to clear and clear it. 10.1.2 PATTERN CONTROL Press [PLAY] to start the playback of a pattern. Press [STOP] to stop the playback of all tracks. The sound will be cut off, but effects like Delay will continue to be audible until the delay repeats have faded out. When the sequencer has stopped, quickly press [STOP] + [STOP] to stop playback of all tracks and get just a short fade out the send effects. When a pattern is playing press [PLAY] to pause the playback. Press [PLAY] to resume the playback. If a pattern contains more than 16 sequencer steps, the <PATTERN PAGE> LEDs will indicate this. When a pattern is playing, the currently active pattern page is shown with a flashing, <PATTERN PAGE> LED. 10.1.3 CHAINS Chains are sequences that consist of more than one pattern. You can use chains to preselect and auto mate in what order you want your patterns to play. 10. THE SEQUENCER You can create one chain and it can contain any pattern in bank A–H. The chain can consist of up to 64 patterns. 1. Press [PTN], and then press [FUNC] + [YES] to open the chain creator screen. 2. Use the [LEFT]/[RIGHT] keys to select a bank (if you want to select a pattern from another bank than the current). Then press [TRIG 1–16] to select a pattern. Repeat until you have created the desired chain. 3. (Optional) Press [FUNC] + [LEFT] to delete the last pattern from the chain. 4. Press [YES] to confirm the pattern chain and close the chain creator screen. Press [NO] if you wish to cancel the pattern chain and close the chain creator screen. 5. Press [PLAY] to start the sequencer and play the chain. The chain will be looped once the final pattern of the chain has played. To exit chain mode, select a pattern or song using the normal selection process. There is also a legacy procedure for how you create chains that also can be used. 1. Press and hold [PTN] and then press a [TRIG 1–16] key to select the first pattern in the chain. 2. Release the [PTN] key and then press [TRIG 1–16] keys in the same order as you want the chained patterns to play. Keep a previous [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 [LEFT]/[RIGHT] keys to select a bank and then press [TRIG 1–16] to select pattern. 3. Press [PLAY] to start the sequencer and play the chain. The chain will be looped once the final pattern of the chain has played. Please note that the chain will be lost when you create a new chain or when you select a new pattern/song. Chains cannot be saved and will be lost when you switch the Digitakt II off. • Chains can be created while the sequencer is running. • You can also use MIDI program change messages from an external device to change patterns on the Digitakt II. For more information, please see “14.4.1 SYNC” on page 77. 10.2 EDITING A PATTERN Digitakt II offers three main modes of input when creating or editing a pattern, GRID RECORDING mode, LIVE RECORDING mode, and STEP RECORDING mode. In these modes, two types of trigs can be entered: 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 the Digitakt II. There are two types of trigs that you can use, note trigs and lock trigs. • NOTE TRIGS trigger presets or MIDI notes. • LOCK TRIGS trigger parameter locks (but does not trigger notes). For more information, please see “10.8.1 PARAMETER LOCKS” on page 47. Note trigs are indicated by red [TRIG] keys and lock trigs are indicated by yellow [TRIG] keys. Unlit [TRIG] keys indicate steps that does not contain any trigs. Read more about parameter locks in section “10.8.1 PARAMETER LOCKS” on page 47. Trigs are added differently in the sequencer, depending on whether GRID RECORDING, LIVE RECORDING, or STEP RECORDING mode is active.
