Setting the direction

The Direction parameter is used to set the direction of the step sequence. The follow-

ing options are available:

D Forward - plays the sequence from the first step to the last.

D Reverse - plays the sequence from the last step to the first.

D Pendulum 1 - plays the sequence from the first step to the last, then from

the last step to the first.

I.e. the last and first step is played twice when the sequencer reverses direction.

D Pendulum 2 - plays the sequence from the first step to the last, then from

the second last step to the first, i.e. without repeating the last/first step

when reversing direction.

D Random - plays the steps in a random order.

Programming step note pitch

To program step note pitch, you proceed as follows:

1. Make sure that the Step Seq Trigger button is activated in the Controller

panel.

2. Set the Run mode to “Repeat”.

You don’t have to use Repeat mode but it makes it easier to follow the following

steps.

3. Start the step sequencer by pressing the Run button.

You should now hear a sequence of repeated notes, each with the same pitch

(C3). The current step is indicated by a yellow LED above the step buttons.

4. Make sure that the Edit knob is set to Note.

5. Turn one of the step knobs above one of the steps.

A tooltip shows you what current note pitch the knob is set to, and when the se-

quencer repeats you should be able to hear the change in pitch for that step. Turn

clockwise to raise the pitch in semitone increments. Turn counter-clockwise to

lower the pitch.

D You can set the knob’s note range by using the Octave lever to the left of

the step buttons.

Available note ranges are 2 Octaves (i.e. one octave up and down from the middle

knob position (C3), 4 Octaves (i.e. two octaves up and down from the middle po-

sition (C3), or Full (-C2 to G8).

✪ Note that the octave range can be set independently for each step. Each

step memorizes the current octave range when the pitch is set for that

step, and will keep this octave range until you change the pitch for the

step with a different octave range setting.

D You can either program steps “on the fly” (with the Step sequencer run-

ning) or step by step (Step mode).

In Step mode, you press Run to forward the step number one position so you can

set step parameters for one step at a time.

By using this general method you can continue to enter note pitch for other steps.

Inserting rests

To make step sequences more rhythmically interesting, you can program rests for

steps.

D This is simply done by pressing one or several step buttons so they go

dark.

Dark steps will be rests.

D Note that the Step Duration value still “counts” for rests.
