10. THE SEQUENCER
40
The TRACK column sets the step length of the track. It works just like setting the pattern length in
LENGTH PER PATTERN mode. The settings only aects the active track. Press the [TRK] keys to select
the track whose scale settings you wish to edit.
The PATTERN column sets the master length, the master change length and the general time signature
of the pattern.
M.LEN controls the number of steps the pattern plays before all tracks restart. An INF setting makes
the tracks of the pattern loop infinitely, without ever being restarted. Note that this setting also aects
for how long the active pattern plays before a chained pattern starts playing. The CH.LEN parameter
can override this.
CH.LEN controls for how long the active pattern plays before a cued or chained pattern begins to play.
This setting is important when, for example, you set M.LEN to INF. If you do not make any CH.LEN
setting, the pattern plays infinitely, and the next pattern is thus not cued. However, if CH.LEN, for in-
stance, is set to 64, the pattern behaves like a pattern with 64 steps regarding cueing and chaining.
SCALE sets the general time signature of the pattern.
10.10 SEQUENCER FEATURES
10.10.1 PARAMETER LOCKS
Parameter locks make it possible to set every trig to have its unique parameter values. The note trigs of
a synth track can, for example, have dierent pitch, amp or filter settings. It is possible to parameter lock
the parameters found on the PARAMETER pages (SYN1, SYN2, FLTR, AMP, and LFO), and you can apply
parameter locks to all types of tracks. For a complete overview of all parameters on the PARAMETER
pages, please see “11. SYNTH TRACK PARAMETERS” on page 45, and “12. MIDI TRACK PARAME-
TERS” on page 55.
Adding parameter locks in GRID RECORDING mode.
1. Press [RECORD] to enter GRID RECORDING mode.
2. Press [TRIG] to add a Note trig or [FUNC] + [TRIG] key to add a Lock trig and to where you want
to perform a parameter lock.
3. Press and hold the [TRIG] key of a previously placed trig (note trig or a lock trig).
4. Turn the DATA ENTRY knobs that control the parameter you want to lock, and set it to the desired
value. The graphics become inverted for the locked parameter, and the locked parameter value is
displayed. The [TRIG] key of the locked trig blinks red (for note trigs) or yellow (for lock trigs) to
indicate the trig now contains a parameter lock.
Press and hold [TRIG], and then press the DATA ENTRY knob of the locked parameter if you wish to
remove a single parameter lock. You can erase all parameter locks from a trig if you remove the note trig
and then enter it again.
Adding parameter locks in LIVE RECORDING mode.
1. Press and hold [RECORD], then press [PLAY] to enter LIVE RECORDING mode.
2. Turn a DATA ENTRY knob, or play the [TRIG] keys in CHROMATIC mode, to add parameter locks
to the active track. Note trigs are placed and parameter locked accordingly, It also places lock trigs
that contains the parameter locks on the sequencer steps that do not already have any trigs.
Press [NO] + one (or several) of the [TRACK] keys to erase a sequence of recorded trigs on a specific track
(or on several tracks) in time with the sequencer. This procedure erases the trigs on all steps reached by the
sequencer on the corresponding tracks.
You can also remove specific parameter locks on a track in real time. In LIVE RECORDING mode, press
and hold [NO] and then press and hold the DATA ENTRY knob corresponding to the parameter that you
want to remove.
