Sequencer
SKULPT synthesiser has a realtime sequencer that can record up to 256 notes at midi clock
resolution with 4 notes of polyphony. Overdub is automatic - simply keep adding notes when
the sequencer is recording.
The sequencer also allows animation of 4 parameters as part of the sequence - simply move
the parameter you wish to automate when the sequencer is recording. Overdub is automatic
- moving a parameter that is already animated (when recording) will overdub the recorded
animation. Sequencer note lane and animator lanes can be muted/cleared from the sequencer
page.
• Play: Starts and stops the sequence.
• Record: When holding Shift this allows you to record enable and disable. If the sequence
in’t playing when you press record it will begin. You can enable or disable the metronome
in the MODALapp.
Like the arpeggiator the sequencer controls can be edited on the 16 touch pads by holding
SHIFT and using the SEQ button. This button can be held down or latched to give access to
the following parameters:
• ANIM 1-4: Pads 1-4 enable or disable the 4 rows of parameter animation.
• Bar: Pads 5-8 selects the length of the sequencer. The available lengths are 1 BAR, 2 BAR,
4 BAR and 8 BAR
• Clear: Pads 9-13 allow you to clear the current data in the 4 parameter animation rows
and the note row.
• Mute: Pad 14 enables or disables the note row.
• Hold: Pad 15 holds the current sequencer step and repeats it, like a beat repeater. When
the pad is released the sequencer carries on from the location it should have been before
the step was repeated so it will still be in time.
• Loop: Pad 16 allows you to loop certain parts of the sequencer. When the pad is first
pressed is the loop start point and when it is released becomes the loop end point. When
a loop is active pressing pad 16 again will disable the loop.
The Sequence position LED will always cycle 1 - 16 over the current sequence length. Eg. if
sequencer is set to 4 bars, it will take 4 bars for the sequencer LED to scroll from 1 to 16 (i.e.
not steps) If sequencer is running, any sequencer length changes will only take affect at the
beginning of a bar.
