10. THE SEQUENCER
30
2. Enter trigs in real time by tapping the [TRIG] keys. If CHROMATIC mode is active, the pitch value of
the note trig will be recorded according to which [TRIG] key is pressed. Any changes to PARAM-
ETER page settings, using the DATA ENTRY knobs, will be recorded as parameter locks and add
lock trigs where needed.
3. Press [PLAY] to exit LIVE RECORDING mode while keeping the sequencer playing. If LIVE RE-
CORDING mode is active and [RECORD] is pressed, GRID RECORDING mode will be activated.
4. Press [STOP] to stop both recording and playback of the sequencer.
To exit LIVE RECORDING mode while keeping the sequencer playing, press [PLAY].
• You can use an external MIDI controller such as a keyboard to input NOTE, TRIG
VELOCITY, and TRIG LENGTH data in LIVE RECORDING mode. Just play the notes on
the external keyboard and they will be recorded by the sequencer. On MIDI tracks, you
can add up to a four note chord to every trig. The first note sets the TRIG VELOCITY
value for all notes on the trig. The last note that is released sets the TRIG LENGTH for
all notes on the trig.
10.3 MICRO TIMING MENU
Here you can add micro timing to a note trig, moving it ahead or behind the beat. Micro timing can be cus-
tomized on any of the sequencer steps on both audio and MIDI tracks. In GRID RECORDING mode, press
and hold one or several [TRIG] keys and then press [LEFT]/[RIGHT] to access the pop-up Micro timing
menu that shows the time oset for the chosen sequencer step(s) on the active track. To exit the micro
timing menu, release the [TRIG] key(s). The micro timing settings are stored in the active pattern
MICRO TIMING Press [LEFT]/[RIGHT keys to adjust the time oset.
10.4 RETRIG MENU
Retrigs can be customized on any of the sequencer steps on the audio tracks (the retrig function is not
available on the MIDI tracks). In GRID RECORDING mode, press and hold one or several [TRIG] keys and
then press [UP]/[DOWN] to access the pop-up Retrig menu that shows the retrig actions for the chosen
sequencer step(s) on the active track. They are recorded as separate trigs. If the retrig speed is greater
than the duration of a sequencer step, trigs are created with additional internal steps (i.e. steps with retrig
enabled). To exit the Retrig menu, release the [TRIG] key(s). The retrig settings are stored in the active
pattern.
RETRIG Turns the retrig lock ON/OFF. Use DATA ENTRY knob A to turn retrig on/o.
RATE Sets the retrig rate (1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/12, 1/16, 1/20, 1/24, 1/32, 1/40, 1/48, 1/64
or 1/80). 1/16 is the nominal retrig rate, one trig per step. 1/32 corresponds to two trigs per step and so
on. To trig triplets, for example, set the retrig rate to 1/12 (or 1/24). You can also press the [UP]/[DOWN]
keys when you are in the retrig menu to adjust the rate.
LEN Sets the duration of the retrig velocity curve in fractions of, or rational or integer multiples of, a step
(0,125–INF). 1/16 is the nominal length of one step. This setting aects the behavior of the velocity curve
by defining the boundaries of its envelope.
