11.4.2 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 in Arp Edit mode. It gives you a way of adding
interesting rhythms to your arpeggiated notes. Select one of eight different sequences and ap-
ply 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 instead set to a triplet val-
ue, 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:
▪ Off, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
To display the set value of the SEQUENCE parameter, tap Knob 4.
11.4.3 RHYTHM Swing
The third RHYTHM parameter, Swing, is available in both Arp and Note Repeat mode. On the
keyboard, it is mapped to Knob 5 of the Control section in Arp Edit mode. Adding Swing to
your note sequence can make it feel less quantized and sound more natural. Swing works by
introducing a delay to every second note in a sequence. Doing so often adds a certain groove to
the music.
Swing is a drag control that lets you select a value between 0% and 100%:
1. Set a value of 0% to play the note sequence without swing.
2. Increase the Swing value to add swing by delaying every second note. The delay length is
a percentage of the current step size.
To display the set value of the SWING parameter, tap Knob 5.
