4.2.7 Sequencer
The Sequencer allows you to record a series of notes in and then it will play them back
in the order that you played them in. The Sequencer on the MiniBrute is a step-
sequencer that allows you to record the notes from the keyboard. It has a total of 6
sequences.
Pattern
This knob selects between the 6 patterns.
Play/Record
This selects between PLAY, OFF and RECORD.
• Play - In Play mode, the sequencer will play based on the position of the Mode
knob.
• Off – This turns the Sequencer Off.
• Record – This puts the sequencer into Record mode. This will allow you to
record over an existing sequence. If you move the switch to Record but then
realize that you do not want to write over the current sequence, you can either
move the switch back to OFF or select the sequence that you want to record over
with the Pattern knob. When you record your first note/rest, then you have written
over the current sequence.
Rate
The Rate knob sets the sequencer’s clock rate from 30 bpm to 260 bpm. The red
LED under the knob blinks in sync with the tempo beat.
• Internal Sync - With the Sync set to internal the Tempo knob acts as expected
— its position sets the general BPM value. The Sync mode can be set using the
MiniBrute Editor software.
• External sync - The Rate knob acts differently if MiniBrute detects an external MIDI
clock on the MIDI Input or USB connector:
An external MIDI clock will turn the Rate control into a time division control, where it
acts as a performance-oriented divider/multiplier. Fully counterclockwise will set the
sequencer to play back notes at 1 note per measure, at the fastest, clock-wise setting,
it will play the steps back at 1/32
nd
notes.
Divisions are: 1 measure, ½ note, ¼ note, 1/8
th
, 1/16
th
, 1/32nd.
