14.6.2 Rhythm Sequence

The second RHYTHM parameter, Sequence, is only available in Arp mode. On the keyboard, it

is mapped to Knob 4 of the Control section when Arpeggiator Edit mode is selected. It gives

you a way of adding interesting rhythms to your arpeggiated notes. Select one of eight different

sequences and apply it to the arpeggiator sequence you are playing. Combine Sequence with

the Rate parameter to create a huge variety of rhythms at different tempos. If Rate is set to a

basic or dotted value, then Sequence applies a 16-step sequencer to the notes. If Rate is in-

stead set to a triplet value, then Sequence applies a 12-step sequencer to the notes.

You can switch sequences in real time during playback. For example, if sequence 1 is running

and you instead select sequence 2 after the fourth MIDI note in a pattern has been played

back, then sequence 2 starts when the fifth MIDI note in the pattern is played back.

The Sequence setting includes the following values:
