MATRIX PATTERN SEQUENCER
(RECORD+REASON)
890
Setting Pattern Resolution
Matrix always follows the tempo setting on the transport panel, but you can also make Matrix play in different tempo
“resolutions” in relation to the tempo setting.
Pattern Shuffle
Shuffle is a rhythmic feature, that gives the music a more or less pronounced swing feel. It works by delaying all six-
teenth notes that fall in between the eighth notes.
Straight sixteenth note pattern (viewed in the sequencer).
The same sixteenth note pattern with shuffle applied.
In Record, you can activate or deactivate shuffle individually for each pattern in a pattern device. However, the
amount of shuffle is set globally with the Global Shuffle control in the ReGroove Mixer. The ReGroove Mixer is de-
scribed in “The ReGroove Mixer”.
The Shuffle on/off switch in Matrix and the Pattern Shuffle control on the transport panel.
Pattern Mute
If you deactivate the “Pattern” button above the Pattern select buttons, the pattern playback will be muted, starting at
the next downbeat (exactly as if you had selected an empty (silent) pattern). For example, this can be used for bring-
ing different pattern devices in and out of the mix during playback.
If you mute the Matrix track in the sequencer, it is muted instantly and the Mute indicator lights up on the panel. Note
that all tracks connected to the Matrix must be muted for this to work.
