MATRIX PATTERN SEQUENCER

Pattern Functions

When a pattern device is selected, you will find some specific pattern functions on the

Edit menu (and on the device context menu).

Shift Pattern Left/Right

The Shift Pattern functions move the notes and corresponding gate values in a pat-

tern one step to the left or right.

Shift Pattern Up/Down

! This function does not alter the Curve CV. This is because the values pro-

duced by the Curve CV do not necessarily correspond to semitone note

steps at all.

The Shift Pattern functions will transpose all the notes in a pattern one semitone up or

down.

Randomize Pattern

The Randomize Pattern function create random patterns. These can often be great

starting points and help you get new ideas. Both Note, Gate and Curve CV values will

be created.

Alter Pattern

The Alter Pattern function modifies existing patterns. Note that there must be some-

thing in the pattern for the function to work on - using an Alter function on an empty

pattern will not do anything.

! Note that Randomize and Alter affects both the Gate, Note and Curve CV!

Chaining Patterns

When you have created several patterns that belong together, you will most probably

want to make these play back in a certain order.

D Simply activate record for the track with the Matrix as the destination in

the sequencer and use the Pattern and Bank buttons to determine the

playback order as the Song is playing.

The Patterns play to the end before changing, so you won’t have worry

too much over the “timing” of the pattern changes you input manually.

When you are done, the sequencer track will contain pattern change

data, and the patterns will automatically switch according to the order

set while recording. More on recording pattern changes on page 69.

D An alternative way to do this is editing directly in the Pattern Edit lane in

the sequencer.

Editing in the Pattern lane is described in the Sequencer chapter.

Converting Pattern Data to Notes

! Curve patterns cannot be converted to sequencer data! Only the note

pattern and the gate values will be converted.

You can convert Matrix Pattern data to note data, that can be edited and played back

from the main sequencer. Proceed as follows:

1. Select the sequencer track connected to the Matrix.

2. Set the left and right locators to the desired range or length.

If the range set is longer than the pattern(s), the data will be repeated to fit the

range.

3. Select the Matrix device you wish to copy the pattern(s) from.

4. Select “Copy Pattern to Track” from the Edit menu or the device context

menu.

Notes will be created between the left and right locators, according to the se-

lected pattern (Gate and Key values only).

However, at this point the track with the notes is connected to the Matrix itself. This is

pointless, since the Matrix doesn’t produce any sound. Therefore:

5. Re-route the sequencer track to the device which was controlled by the Ma-

trix (or to another instrument device if you like).

This is done by clicking in the Out column for the track in the track list, and select-

ing another device from the pop-up menu that appears.

If you now activate playback from the transport you will send note data to the con-

nected device from both the sequencer and the Matrix at the same time, which is

probably not what you want. To avoid this happening, you have to do one of the fol-

lowing:

D Delete the Matrix device.

Or...

D Disconnect CV and Gate cables between the Matrix and the instrument

device on the back panel.

✪ The procedure above copies a single pattern to notes in the sequencer. If

you have automated pattern changes, you can copy a complete pattern

track to notes, taking all pattern changes into account. This is described

on page 93.
