# 10.12 SEQUENCER FEATURES 10. THE SEQUENCER 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. 10.12 SEQUENCER FEATURES 10.12.1 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 57, and “APPENDIX A: MACHINES” on page 89. 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 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 held trigs reached by the pattern’s playhead will be erased. 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 parame ter, 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, press and hold a trig that contains parameter locks, the [PARAMETER] page keys lights up in red to show the location of the locked parameters. • 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. 10.12.2 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. In GRID RECORDING mode, press and hold a [TRIG] key that contains 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 10. THE SEQUENCER note trig and then release the [TRIG] key. Press and hold the [TRIG] key of the note trig to show the as signed preset. For more information, please see “9.1.1 ADDING PRESETS TO THE POOL” on page 29, and “9.2.1 LOAD (PRESET)” on page 30. 10.12.3 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 57. 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 not evaluated and are ignored). PRE (Not 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 not evaluated and are ignored) 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 (Not NEI) is true when NEI is false. A trig with this trig condition plays if the most recently evaluat ed 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 only on the first loop of the pattern. 1ST (Not 1ST) The trig does not play on the first loop of the pattern. LST The trig plays the last time the pattern plays before changing to another pattern. LST (Not 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 (Not 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 not on the sixth, the tenth, and so on. 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 con ditioned trigs), is a neat way to make the most minimal of compositions come alive with randomness. 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 57. • The sequencer needs to be in FILL mode to activate the conditional lock called FILL. For more information, please see “10.12.4 FILL MODE” on page 52. • FILL trig conditions may also be used, for example, to have two different melodic or per cussive sequences on the same track, one of which is activated only when FILL mode is active. 10.12.4 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 pattern 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 (when not in GRID RECORDING mode). 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. 10.12.5 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. In GRID RECORDING mode, select a track page by press ing the [PAGE] key. Copy the page 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. 10.12.6 TEMPORARY SAVE AND RELOAD PATTERN COMMANDS Patterns can instantly be saved to a temporary memory space and then reloaded again from this space. • Press [FUNC] + [YES] to perform a temporary save of the active pattern. This is useful in order to cre ate a restore point when you are live tweaking, but without permanently save your changes. • Press [FUNC] + [NO] to reload a pattern that was previously temporarily saved. It will 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 “13.3 PATTERN MENU” on page 73. 10.12.7 TRACK TRANSPOSE 1. Press and hold [FUNC] and then press [+]/[−] to initiate transpose of the active track in semitones. Press and hold [TRK] + [FUNC] and then press [+]/[−] to initiate transpose of the active track in octaves. 2. Release [FUNC] (or [TRK] + [FUNC]) for the transpose to take effect. 10.12.8 PATTERN TRANSPOSE 1. Press and hold [PTN] and then press [+]/[−] to initiate transpose of all the tracks in the pattern in semitones. Press and hold [PTN] + [FUNC] and then press [+]/[−] to initiate transpose all the tracks in the pattern in octaves. 2. Release [PTN] (or [PTN] + [FUNC]) for the transpose to take effect. You can selects which tracks that will be affected by pattern transpose. For more information, please see “9.6.1 KIT” on page 35. 10.12.9 SELECTED TRACKS TRANSPOSE You can also select which tracks in the pattern are affected by the transposition. This is set up similarly to the CONTROL ALL functionality. 1. Press [FUNC] + [FLTR] to open the SETUP menu. Use the [UP] and [DOWN] arrow keys to select PTN TRANSPOSE CONFIG. Press [YES] to confirm your selection. 2. Use the [TRIG] keys to select which tracks that you want to be affected by the transposition. 3. Press and hold [PTN] and then press [+]/[−] to initiate transpose of the selected tracks in the pat tern. The tracks are transposed up/down in semitones. Press and hold [PTN] + [FUNC] and then press [+]/[−] to initiate transpose the selected tracks in the pattern in octaves. 4. Release [PTN] for the transpose to take effect. These transpositions are non-destructive and does not change the trigs NOTE values. 10.13 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. 10.13.1 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 columns, highlighting the parameter you wish to edit, and then use LEVEL/DATA or any DATA ENTRY knob to edit the selected function.
