Tap / Rest
The Tap /Rest button has two functions:
1. Tap Tempo
2. Inputting Rests when recording sequences.
Tap Tempo – the Tap Tempo button will allow the user to manually set the rate of
the sequencer by tapping the button in real time.
Rest – The Tap Tempo button will act as a rest input when you are recording a
sequence. When you are in record, pressing the Tap button between notes will
allow you to skip a note. The image below shows and example of the Rest being
used to edit the rhythm in steps 3 and 7 of a pattern.
Swing
The Swing switch sets the swing amount applied to every even note in the
sequence, from a strictly “mechanical” groove to one that’s totally “off-the-
tempo.” 4 positions are selectable, with swing values varying from 50% (position 1)
to 75% (position 4).
Gate Length
The gate length selector defines how long the notes themselves are:
• Short...............the gate length is about 25% of the cycle time.
• Medium.........the gate is about 50% of the cycle time.
• Long...............the gate is about 75% of the cycle time.
• Hold...............Notes are not retriggered except after rests or at the beginning
of the sequence.
