ly, without ever being restarted. Note that this setting also affects for 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.
In the PAGE SETUP menu, you can press [FUNC] + [UP]/[DOWN] to set the TRACK
LENGTH in increments from 2/16 to 128/128.
10.8 SEQUENCER FEATURES
10.8.1 PARAMETER LOCKS
Parameter locks makes it possible to set every trig to have its own unique parameter values. The note
trigs of an audio track can, for example, have different pitch, amp or filter settings. It is possible to pa
rameter 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 “11.
TRACK PARAMETERS” on page 53, and “A.2.7 MIDI” on page 101.
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 and 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.
2. Turn a DATA ENTRY knob, or play the [TRIG] keys in KEYBOARD mode, to add parameter locks to
the active track. Note trigs are placed, and parameter locked accordingly, and it also places lock
trigs that contains the parameter locks on the sequencer steps that do not already have any trigs.
Press [NO] + one (or several) of the [TRIG] keys to erase a sequence of recorded trigs on a specific
track (or on several tracks) in time with the sequencer, i.e. all steps reached on the pattern playing will be
erased until the keys are released.
You can also remove specific parameter locks on a track in real time. In LIVE RECORDING mode, press
and hold [NO] and then press and hold the DATA ENTRY knob corresponding to the parameter that you
want to remove.
Adding parameter locks in STEP RECORDING mode.
1. Press and hold [RECORD], then press [STOP] to enter STEP RECORDING mode.
2. Press and hold a [TRIG] key, and then 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 param
eter, and the locked parameter value is displayed. The [TRIG] key of a locked trig blinks red (for
note trigs) or yellow (for lock trigs) to indicate that the trig contains a parameter lock.
• Up to 80 different parameters can be locked in a pattern. A parameter counts as one (1)
locked parameter no matter how many trigs that lock it. If for example the cutoff param
eter of the filter is locked on every sequencer step, there are still 79 other parameters
that can be locked.
• In GRID RECORDING mode, if you press and hold a trig that contains parameter locks,
the [PARAMETER] page keys lights up in red to show where parameters with parameter
locks applied resides.
• You can add a parameter lock to all the existing trigs on a page by pressing and holding
[TRIG] + [PAGE] or [TRK], and then turn a DATA ENTRY knob.

10. THE SEQUENCER
10.8.2 PRESET LOCKS
You can change a track’s preset to another preset from the pool on any individual sequencer step. These
preset locks are an immensely useful feature for adding variations to a track. Press and hold a note trig
and turn the LEVEL/DATA knob to open the pool list. Use the LEVEL/DATA knob to scroll through the
list. Select the preset you want to assign to the note trig and then release the [TRIG] key. Press and
hold the [TRIG] key of the note trig to show the assigned preset. For more information, please see “9.3.1
LOAD (PRESET)” on page 30. For more additional information, please see “9.1.1 ADDING PRESETS
TO THE POOL” on page 29.
10.7.3 TRIG CONDITIONS AND CONDITIONAL LOCKS
Trig conditions are a set of conditional rules that you can apply to any trig, using specific parameter locks
called conditional locks. Each rule is a logical condition that determines whether a trig set on a track in
the sequencer is triggered or not. If the condition is true, then the trig will play. If the condition is false,
the trig will not play.
ADDING A CONDITIONAL LOCK
1. In GRID RECORDING or STEP RECORDING mode, place a note trig or lock trig on the sequencer
step to where you want to apply a conditional lock.
2. Press and hold the trig to access the COND (Trig Condition) parameter on the TRIG PAGE 1. For
more information, please see “11.2 TRIG PAGE 1” on page 53.
3. Turn DATA ENTRY knob H to select one of the following trig conditions:
PRE is true and the trig plays if the most recently evaluated trig condition on the same track was true.
(PRE and PRE conditions are ignored and not evaluated.)
PRE is true when PRE is false. A trig with this trig condition plays if the most recently evaluated trig
condition on the same track was not true. (PRE and PRE conditions are ignored and not evaluated.)
Example 1: Trig 1, 50% = True > Trig 2, PRE = False > Trig 3, PRE = False > Trig 4, PRE = True
Example 2: Trig 1, 50% = False > Trig 2, PRE = True > Trig 3, PRE = True > Trig 4, PRE = False
NEI is true and the trig plays if the most recently evaluated trig condition on the neighbor track was
true. (PRE and PRE conditions on the neighbor track are ignored and not evaluated.) The neighbor
track is the track before the active track. For example, track 3 is the neighbor track of track 4. NEI
and NEI conditional trigs on track 4 therefore evaluate the conditional trigs placed on track 3. The NEI
condition is false if no conditional trigs exist on the neighbor track.
NEI is true when NEI is false. A trig with this trig condition plays if the most recently evaluated trig
condition on the neighbor track was not true. (PRE and PRE conditions on the neighbor track are
ignored and not evaluated.)
1ST The trig plays the first time the pattern plays (when looped).
1ST The trig does not play the first time the pattern plays (when looped).
LST The trig plays the last time the pattern plays before changing to another pattern.
LST The trig does not play the last time the pattern plays before changing to another pattern.
A:B A sets how many times the pattern (or track, if the track length is shorter than the pattern length)
plays before the trig condition is true. B sets how many times the pattern (or track, if the track length
is shorter than the pattern length) plays before the count is reset and starts over again. This cycle
then repeats until you stop the sequencer.
For example:
With the setting 1:2, the trig plays the first time the pattern plays and then the third, the fifth, and so on.
With the setting 2:2, the trig plays the second time the pattern plays and then the fourth, the sixth, and
so on.
With the setting 2:4, the trig plays the second time the pattern plays and then the sixth, the tenth, and
so on.
With the setting 4:7 the trig plays the fourth time the pattern plays and then the eleventh, the eigh
teenth, and so on.
A:B is true when A:B is false. Meaning a trig with this condition plays when the set condition of pattern
plays are not met.
For example:
With the setting 2:4, the trig does not play the second time the pattern plays and then the sixth, the
tenth, and so on.

10. THE SEQUENCER
• The FILL trig condition has a separate parameter on TRIG PAGE 1. For more informa
tion, please see “11.2 TRIG PAGE 1” on page 53.
• The sequencer needs to be in FILL mode to activate the conditional lock called FILL.
For more information, please see “10.8.4 FILL MODE” on page 49.
• Conditional parameter locks are a great way to add variety to a pattern. To set up a grid
of mutually exclusive or conclusive note trigs across any of the tracks, and adding some
probability locks in there as well (perhaps, in turn, also sporting an array of logically
conditioned trigs), is a neat way to make the most minimal of compositions come alive
with randomness.
• They may also be used, for example, to have two different melodic or percussive se
quences on the same track, one of which is activated only when FILL mode is active.
10.8.4 FILL MODE
FILL mode can be used to create a temporary variation, such as a drum fill, in your pattern.
Press [YES] + [PAGE] to activate FILL mode for one pattern cycle. It will become active when the pat
tern loops, and remain active until it loops again. You can also activate FILL mode at any time, and for any
duration, by pressing and holding the [PAGE] key when the pattern is playing (GRID RECORDING mode
cannot be active). The FILL mode is active for as long as the key is held.
Press and hold [PAGE] + [YES], and then release [PAGE] before you release [YES] to latch FILL mode.
Press [PAGE] again to unlatch FILL mode.
10.8.5 COPY, PASTE AND CLEAR OPERATIONS
Patterns, tracks, track pages, parameter pages, and trigs can be copied, pasted and cleared.
The active pattern can be copied to another location in the same bank or in another bank. To perform
a pattern copy operation, GRID RECORDING mode must be deactivated. Copy the pattern by pressing
[FUNC] + [RECORD]. Select another pattern, and then press [FUNC] + [STOP] to paste the copied
pattern to this location. Press [FUNC] + [PLAY] to clear all the trigs in the current pattern.
Individual sequencer tracks can be copied, pasted and cleared in the same way as patterns. To do so,
GRID RECORDING mode must be active.
A single track page may also be copied, pasted and cleared. It is similar to copying/pasting/clearing a
track, but will only affect the active track page. Select the track page of choice by pressing the [PAGE]
key. Copy by pressing [PAGE] + [RECORD]. Select a new track page and press [PAGE] + [STOP] to
paste. Press [PAGE] + [PLAY] to clear the active track page.
A single parameter page with all it’s settings may also be copied, pasted and cleared. Select the pa
rameter page you wish to copy by pressing a [PARAMETER] key. Copy by pressing [PARAMETER] +
[RECORD]. Select a new track and then press the same [PARAMETER] page + [STOP] to paste. Press
[PARAMETER] + [PLAY] to clear the parameter page.
Trigs, complete with all parameter lock settings, can be copied, pasted and cleared as well. GRID
RECORDING mode needs to be active to access this functionality. Press and hold a trig and press
[RECORD] to perform the copy operation. Paste by holding another [TRIG] key and pressing [STOP].
It is also possible to copy more than one trig. Press and hold the trigs you wish to copy, and then press
[RECORD]. Press and hold the [TRIG] key to where you want to paste, and then press [STOP] to paste
the copied sequence of trigs. When pasting, the copied trigs are placed in the same relation to each
other as they had when they were copied. The destination trig acts as the starting point for the sequence
of copied trigs. Clear trig locks by holding one or more trigs and press [PLAY].
You can undo any copy, paste, and clear operation by repeating the key presses.
Without leaving the active pattern, you can copy a pattern, paste it into one or several slots,
and also clear one or several patterns. First, press [PTN], then press [TRIG] + [RECORD]
to select the pattern you wish to copy and copy it. Then press [TRIG] + [STOP] to paste
the copied pattern where you want. Press [TRIG] + [PLAY] to clear the selected pattern.
10.8.6 TEMPORARY SAVE AND RELOAD PATTERN COMMANDS
Patterns can instantly be saved to a temporary memory space and then reloaded again from this space.
• To perform a temporary save of the active pattern, press [FUNC] + [YES]. This is useful in order to
create a restore point when you are live tweaking, but without permanently save your changes.
• To perform a temporary reload of the active pattern, press [FUNC] + [NO]. It will the reload the pat
tern from when you last used the temporary save command. If you have not done any temporary save,
then the pattern will reload from the permanently saved state.

10. THE SEQUENCER
The TEMPORARY SAVE PATTERN and TEMPORARY RELOAD PATTERN commands are
great when improvising live. Any changes made to the active pattern, like adding bass line
notes or using CONTROL ALL, can immediately be undone. And at the same time, the
saves and reloads will not affect the pattern in a permanent way.
The TEMPORARY SAVE PATTERN command will not save the pattern permanently and
any changes will be lost if you load another project. If you wish to save your changes per
manently, you should use SAVE TO PROJ in the PATTERN MENU. For more information,
please see “14.3 PATTERN MENU” on page 76.
10.9 SONG MODE
A song is an arrangement of patterns set up to play in sequence. Each row in the SONG mode arrangement
can have separate settings for pattern, row repeat, row length, tempo, and mute. A song can be up to 99
rows in length, and each project can contain up to 16 songs.
10.9.1 THE SONG EDIT SCREEN
Press [SONG] and then press [TRIG 1–16] to select a song and enter SONG mode. Press [FUNC] +
[SONG] to open the SONG EDIT screen. Use the [ARROW] keys to navigate the song rows and col
umns, highlighting the parameter you wish to edit, and then use LEVEL/DATA or any DATA ENTRY knob
to edit the selected function.
1. SONG ROW (Range 01–99)
2. LABEL lets you select a keyword for the row. The keyword is related to song structure, e.g., Verse,
Chorus, and Fill. It can also be the name of the pattern.
3. PTN lets you select the pattern to be played on the row. Press [FUNC] while turning the knob to
change banks quickly.
4. ROW PLAY COUNT The number of times the row plays before the song advances to the next row.
5. ROW LENGTH (measured in sequencer steps). This setting defines how many steps the sequenc
er plays from the selected pattern. The default value is the same as the pattern length. (Range:
2–1024, the last 25 values are written as K00–K24)
6. ROW TEMPO Here, you set the row’s BPM per row. You can also choose to have one BPM for the
whole song. By default, the row inherits the BPM and swing set in the pattern selected for the row.
Press [TEMPO] to open the TEMPO menu for the currently selected row’s pattern. Here you can
also set the swing. You can also press [YES] while highlighting the BPM parameter to open the
TEMPO menu. Selecting song tempo on any row overrides all the previously set row and pattern
tempos. The swing settings are always set per row.
7. SONG POINTER Shows the current time and position of the playhead in the song arrangement.
8. ROW MUTE lets you mute the tracks of the pattern on the selected row. Highlight and press [YES]
to edit. A mute icon is displayed in the rows that have tracks that are muted. Use the [TRIG] keys
to mute and unmute the tracks. When selecting a pattern for the row, the row’s mute state initially
reflects the pattern’s mute state
9. END row. This row is always added at the end of a song and determines what will happen when the
song has played the last song row. By default, it is set to LOOP the song from the beginning and
play it again, but it can also be set to STOP the song.
10. The currently selected row is highlighted between dotted lines. Use [UP] and [DOWN] to select row.
11. PLAYHEAD position shows the row currently playing (or set to play if the sequencer is stopped).
12. SONG SLOT and SONG NAME.
