11. THE SEQUENCER

A 2X time signature setting is useful for increasing the base resolution of the step sequencer to 32nd

notes. A 3/4X setting is useful when Analog Rytm MKII is playing alongside other instruments set to the

same BPM, and you want Analog Rytm MKII to play triplets.

11.10.2 ADVANCED MODE

In this mode, the tracks of the pattern can be assigned individual lengths. Select ADVANCED mode by

navigating to the SCALE column using the [LEFT] arrow key. Select ADVANCED by using the [DOWN]

arrow key. In ADVANCED mode, two columns exist, TRACK and MASTER.

The TRACK column sets the step length of the track. It works just like setting the pattern length in NOR-

MAL mode. The settings will only aect the active track. Press the [TRK] keys to select the track whose

scale settings will be edited.

The MASTER column is only available in ADVANCED mode. Here the master length, the master change

length and the general time signature of the pattern are set.

LEN controls the amount of steps the pattern will play before all tracks are restarted. An INF setting

will make the tracks of the pattern loop inﬁnitely, without ever being restarted. Note that this setting

also aects for how long the active pattern will play before a chained pattern starts playing. This can

be overridden by the CHNG parameter.

CHNG controls for how long the active pattern will play before a cued or chained pattern will begin

to play. This setting is important when for example LEN is set to INF. If no CHNG setting is made, the

pattern will play inﬁnitely, and the next pattern will thus not be cued. However, if CHNG, for instance, is

set to 64, the pattern will behave like a pattern consisting of 64 steps regarding cueing and chaining.

MASTER SCALE is the rightmost setting. It sets the general time signature of the pattern.

If INF is selected, the active pattern will play inﬁnitely, making it impossible to change to

another pattern (when SEQUENTIAL pattern play mode is used).

Press [FUNC] + [UP]/[DOWN] to set the MASTER LENGTH in increments of 16.

11.11 SEQUENCER FEATURES

11.11.1 PARAMETER LOCKS

Parameter locks enable all trigs to have their unique parameter values. The note trigs of a drum track can

have, for example, dierent pitch, amp or ﬁlter settings. All parameters found on the PARAMETER pages

are possible to parameter lock, and parameter locks can be applied to all types of tracks. Additionally, all

settings on the TRIG page may be locked (see “TRIG MENU” on page 38). For an overview of all parame-

ters on the PARAMETER pages, check out “APPENDIX A: DRUM TRACK PARAMETERS” on page 71.

To apply parameter locks in GRID RECORDING mode, press and hold the [TRIG] key of a trig. Adjust the

parameters you want to lock using the DATA ENTRY knobs. The graphics in the screen will become in-

verted for the locked parameter and the locked parameter value will be displayed. The [TRIG] key of the

locked trig will begin to ﬂash rapidly, indicating the trig now contains a parameter lock. Remove a single

parameter lock by holding [TRIG] + pressing the DATA ENTRY knob of the locked parameter. By remov-

ing a note trig and entering it again, all parameter locks will be erased from the trig.

In CHROMATIC mode, a note pitch parameter lock will be shown with a red color pad when you press

and hold the [TRIG] key containing such a lock.

In LIVE RECORDING mode, turning a DATA ENTRY knob, or playing the [PADS] in CHROMATIC mode,

will input parameter locks to the active track. Note trigs will be locked accordingly, and lock trigs contain-

ing the locks will be placed on the sequencer steps not containing note trigs.
