Setting the number of steps

D You can set how many steps a sequence should have before starting

over using the Steps knob at the far right on the panel.

Up to 16 steps can be used. The lit LEDs above each step button show the num-

ber of steps currently used. You can also change number of steps by clicking on a

LED directly - the sequencer will then stop/start over at the selected step.

Setting Rate

The Rate knob determines the rate of the step sequence.

• You can either use “free running” rates (i.e. not synced to main sequencer tempo)

or synced tempo.

This is set with the Sync button on/off status. If Sync is active you can set the

tempo in various beat resolutions.

Setting other values for steps

For each step you can also program other parameters with the step value knobs apart

from note pitch. You use the Edit knob to set one the following:

D Velocity - if this is selected as the Edit mode you can set a velocity value

for each step.

Default value is 100, range is 0-127.

D Gate Length - if this is selected as the Edit mode you can set a Gate

Length value for each step.

Default is 75%. Gate Length determines the length of the note played for that

step.

D Step Duration - if this is selected as the Edit mode you can set a Step du-

ration value for each step.

This parameter determines the total length of the step, which is a factor related to

the sequencer rate. Range is 1/4 to 4. E.g. if Rate is 1/16, “1” means a 1/16-note

will be played, a “4” means a 1/4-note will be played, and so on.

D The Curves 1 and 2 allow you to set values for each step that can be sent

to control parameters of your choice.

This is done in the Modulation bus routing section, where these two independent

Curves are selectable as Source controllers.

✪ You can compare these curves to the Curve CV output of the Matrix - they

simply represent a series of values which can be applied to anything.

Step Pattern functions

You will find some specific Step pattern functions on the Edit menu (and on the de-

vice context menu). These are as follows:

Function

Description

Randomize Se-

quencer Pattern

The Randomize Pattern function creates random patterns. The

function only randomizes the selected Edit value (e.g. if set to

Note, only the note pitch values are randomized, not velocity,

gate length etc.).

Shift Pattern L/R The Shift Pattern functions move the pattern one step to the

left or right. All parameters (rests, note pitch, velocity etc.) are

shifted one step.
