10. THE SEQUENCER
41
Up to 80 dierent parameters can be locked in a pattern. A parameter counts as one (1)
locked parameter no matter how many trigs that lock it. If for example the cuto parame-
ter of the filter is locked on every sequencer step, there are still 79 other parameters that
can be locked.
10.10.2 SOUND LOCKS
You can change a tracks Sound to another Sound from the Sound pool on any individual sequencer
step. These Sound locks are an immensely useful feature for adding variations to a track. Press and
hold a note trig and turn the LEVEL/DATA knob to open the Sound pool list. Use the LEVEL/DATA
knob to scroll through the list. Select the Sound you want to assign to the note trig and then release the
[TRIG] key. The [TRIG] key starts to flash to indicate that it contains a Sound lock. Press and hold the
[TRIG] key of the note trig to show the assigned Sound. For more information, please see “9.1.1 ADDING
SOUNDS TO THE SOUND POOL” on page 27.
10.10.3 CONDITIONAL LOCKS
On the TRIG PARAMETERS page, there is a parameter called COND (Trig Condition) with which a set
of conditional rules can be applied to any trig, using a parameter lock. Each setting is a logical condition
that determines whether a trig set on a track in the sequencer is triggered or not. If the condition is true,
then the trig becomes active and aect the track. If the condition is false, the trig is ignored. You must
first place a note trig or lock trig on the sequencer step to where you want to apply a conditional lock.
The sequencer needs to be in FILL mode to activate the conditional lock called FILL. For more informa-
tion, please see “10.10.4 FILL MODE” on page 42.
You can set the following trig conditions:
FILL is true (activates the trig) when FILL mode is active.
FILL is true when FILL is false. A trig with this trig condition is active when you are not in FILL mode.
PRE is true if the most recently evaluated trig condition on the same track was true. (PRE and PRE
conditions are ignored and not evaluated.)
PRE is true when PRE is false. A trig with this trig condition is active if the most recently evaluated trig
condition on the same track was not true. (PRE and PRE conditions are ignored and not evaluated.)
Example 1: Trig 1, 50% = True > Trig 2, PRE = False > Trig 3, PRE = False > Trig 4, PRE = True
Example 2: Trig 1, 50% = False > Trig 2, PRE = True > Trig 3, PRE = True > Trig 4, PRE = False
NEI is true if the most recently evaluated trig condition on the neighbor track was true. (PRE and PRE
conditions on the neighbor track are ignored and not evaluated.) The neighbor track is the track
before the active track. For example, track 3 is the neighbor track of track 4. NEI and NEI conditional
trigs on track 4 evaluate the conditional trigs placed on track 3. The NEI condition is false if no condi-
tional trigs exist on the neighbor track.
NEI is true when NEI is false. A trig with this trig condition is active if the most recently evaluated trig
condition on the neighbor track was not true. (PRE and PRE conditions on the neighbor track are
ignored and not evaluated.)
1ST is true the first time the pattern plays (when looped).
1ST is true when 1ST is false. A trig with this trig condition is always active apart from the first time the
pattern plays (when looped).
X% is a probability condition. There is an X% chance that the trig will be active.
A:B A sets how many times the pattern plays before the trig condition is true. B sets how many times
the pattern plays before the count is reset and starts over again. This cycle then repeats indefinitely.
For example:
With the setting 1:2, the trig condition is true the first time the pattern plays and then the third, the fifth,
and so on.
With the setting 2:2, the trig condition is true the second time the pattern plays and then the fourth,
the sixth, and so on.
With the setting 2:4, the trig condition is true the second time the pattern plays and then the sixth, the
tenth, and so on.
With the setting 4:7 the trig condition is true the fourth time the pattern plays and then the eleventh,
the eighteenth, and so on.
