MATRIX PATTERN SEQUENCER

➜ If you now click or drag in the lower gate section while the pattern is
playing, you can hear how the timbre and volume changes.
➜ If you drag some of the vertical rectangles down so that they disap-
pear from view, the corresponding steps of the pattern are com-
pletely silenced.
➜ By using the 5-way switch below the “Keys/Curve” switch you can
input notes in other octave ranges (over five octaves).
Note that there can only be one note for each step in the pattern.
7. By using a combination of the methods described in the above
steps, you can program suitable note values for each step, decide
which steps should be played and set their velocity with the gate
values.
Using Curve Patterns
Curve patterns are independent patterns that can be applied separately to
the note pattern programmed in “Keys” mode. If you switch the Keys/Curve
switch to “Curve”, the note, but not the gate steps, disappear from view, and
leaves the upper area of the pattern window empty. You can now start pro-
gramming a curve pattern. Proceed as follows:
1. Draw a curve, using the same method as for notes or gates.
As you can see, the Curve pattern looks like large vertical gate steps.
➜ If you play the pattern, nothing has changed, i.e. the pattern sounds
exactly like it did before the Curve pattern was drawn.
This is because the Curve CV output hasn’t been connected to any pa-
rameter yet.
2. Flip the rack around so you can see the back panel of the Matrix.
3. Connect the Curve CV output to the Filter Cutoff Modulation Input
on the Subtractor.
Now the curve pattern controls the filter frequency of the Subtractor.
✪ If the effect isn’t very noticeable, try raising the filter Q parameter,
and lowering the filter frequency.
➜ The Curve CV output can be connected to any device CV or Modula-
tion input.
Actually, Curve CV signals can also produce Gate triggers (used for trig-
gering samples or envelopes for example).
➜ A Gate trigger is produced for each curve pattern step that follows a
value of “0”.
If you look at the picture below, steps 2,4 and 6 will produce a trigger, be-
cause steps 1, 3 and 5 are set to zero, but the rest of the pattern would
not.
