9. THE SEQUENCER
29
ON/OFF activates/deactivates the metronome.
PRE activates a one bar preroll that the metronome sounds before the sequencer starts playing. This
setting is only relevant when you are in LIVE RECORDING mode.
SIG controls the note and beat measure of the metronome time signature.
VOL controls the volume of the click.
Press and hold [FUNC] + [GATE] for a second to toggle click ON/OFF.
9.11 SCALE MENU
In this menu you can set the length and timing of the pattern and tracks. Press [FUNC] + [PAGE] to access
the SCALE menu. Use LEVEL/DATA to browse and change the settings.
MOD Mode can be set to either PATTERN or TRACK. In PATTERN mode all tracks share the same
SCALE and LENGTH settings. In TRACK mode, all tracks can have individual SCALE and LENGTH set-
tings. Press [T1–6] to select the track to set the scale for.
LEN Length sets the step length (amount of steps) of the pattern/track.
SCL Scale controls the speed the playback in multiples of the current tempo. It oers seven possible
settings, 1/8X, 1/4X, 1/2X, 3/4X, 1X, 3/2X and 2X. A setting of 1/8X plays back the pattern at one-eighth of
the set tempo. 3/4X plays the pattern back at three-quarters of the tempo; 3/2X plays back the pattern
twice as fast as the 3/4X setting. 2X makes the pattern play at twice the BPM.
CHG Change controls for how long the active pattern plays before it loops or a cued (the next select-
ed) pattern begins to play. If CHG is set to 64, the pattern behaves like a pattern consisting of 64 steps
regarding cueing and chaining. If CHG is set to OFF, the default change length is INF (infinite) in TRACK
mode and the same value as LEN in PATTERN mode.
Trigs are automatically copied when extending the length of a pattern. If a pattern consists of, for example,
two pages and the pattern length is increased to four pages, and the two additional pattern pages are cop-
ies of the first two pattern pages.
• Press the [PAGE] key and [TRIG] keys to change the number of steps of the pattern quickly.
• A 2X SCL setting is useful for increasing the base resolution of the step sequencer to
32nd notes. A 3/4X setting is useful when Model:Cycles is playing alongside other instru-
ments set to the same BPM, and you want Model:Cycles to play triplets.

9.12.1 PARAMETER LOCKS
Parameter locks make it possible to set every trig to have its unique parameter values. The trigs can, for
example, have a dierent pitch, FX send, or filter settings. It is possible to parameter lock the parame-
ters that are controlled by the PARAMETER knobs, and the NOTE, VEL and LEN settings. You can also
parameter lock the parameters on the LFO menu and the PUNCH and the GATE settings. For a complete
overview of all parameters on the PARAMETER pages, please see “10. TRACK RELATED PARAMETERS”
