10. THE SEQUENCER
33
Red [TRIG] keys indicates note trigs and yellow [TRIG] keys indicates lock trigs. Unlit [TRIG] keys
indicate steps that do not contain any trigs. Trigs are added dierently in the sequencer, depending on
whether GRID RECORDING or LIVE RECORDING mode is active. For how to add Lock trigs, please see
“10.10.1 PARAMETER LOCKS” on page 40.
10.2.2 GRID RECORDING MODE
GRID RECORDING is a method of composing where you use the [KEYBOARD] and [TRIG] keys to add
trigs.
1. Press [T1–4] to select the track to which you want to add trigs. A green [TRACK] key light indicates
the active track.
2. Press [RECORD] to enter GRID RECORDING mode. The [RECORD] key lights up red to indicate
that GRID RECORDING mode is active.
3. Press and hold a [TRIG] key, and then press a key or chord on the [KEYBOARD] to place note trigs
with specific note values on the sequencer. If you just press a [TRIG] key it will add a trig with a
note value specified by the ROOT parameter in the TRIG PARAMETERS page. For more informa-
tion, please see “11.2 TRIG PARAMETERS PAGE” on page 45.
Press the [TRIG] key of any of the previously entered trigs if you wish to remove the trig. Press a
[TRIG] key of a trig and hold it slightly longer to prepare the trig for editing, rather than removing it.
4. Select another track, and add note trigs. Repeat the procedure for all the tracks you want to use.
5. Press [PLAY] to listen to the sequence.
• Add micro timing to a note trig by pressing and holding the [TRIG] key and then press
the [LEFT]/[RIGHT] keys. For more information, please see “10.6 MICRO TIMING
MENU” on page 36.
• If the pattern contains more than 16 steps, select the pattern page you want to edit by
pressing the [PAGE] key. A fully lit <PATTERN PAGE> LED shows the active pattern
page.
• All trigs of a track can be shifted forwards or backward on the sequencer. While in GRID
RECORDING mode, hold down [FUNC] while pressing the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] arrow
keys to perform the trig shift.
10.2.3 GRID RECORDING USING TRACK NOTE METHOD
This is an alternative way to enter note trigs in GRID RECORDING mode that gives you more control over
what note values you want to add to a specific step in the sequencer.
1. Press [T1–4] to select the track to which you want to add note trigs and additional notes. A green
[TRACK] key light indicates the active track.
2. Press [RECORD] to enter GRID RECORDING mode. The [RECORD] key lights up red to indicate
that GRID RECORDING mode is active.
3. Press the [TRIG] key to where you want to add or remove notes + [TRACK NOTE] . A graphic
keyboard appears on the screen where you can see all the notes on the chosen sequencer step. A
key with a dot on the screen keyboard indicates added notes.
4. Press the [KEYBOARD] or [TRIG] keys to add notes with the corresponding note value. Press the
key of a previously entered note if you wish to remove that note.
5. Press [YES] to enter the changes and then exit. Press [NO] if you wish to exit without making any
changes.
