SPECTRALIS 2

2.5.3 "Sequence-Edit"-section

(to the right next to the NUM BUTTON ASSIGNMENT-Section)

Edit-Section of the step-sequencer, with the following control elements:

[Function]

The use of the [Function]-button opens the display-menu for the editing

of the step-sequencer. The step-sequencer menu has a number of pages,

which can be accessed via the [Page-Up]- and [Page-Down]-buttons.

After pushing the [Function]- button the value data for the individual

steps will be assigned to the encoders 1-16. By holding down the

[Function]-button you can access a number of useful functions with the

numeric buttons directly. These functions are printed on the frontpanel

between numbers 1–10. (Trig, Skip, Glide, Mute, Last, FWD, BWD,

F&B, RND).

Please take note that all of these functions for each sequencer line can be

adjusted differently! True step-sequencer afficinados will be thrilled with

this information and make the most of it. As a basic overview though

this may be information overkill at this early stage. On page 66 you will

find a practical "How to...?" chapter for this powerful tool!

The step-sequencer menu itself also has a number of display pages, which

can be accessed by using the [Page-Up]- and [Page-Down]-buttons.

[Iteration]

The [Iteration]-button opens a menupage for changing the playback of

a sequence-line. The lines can be rotated by steps.

[Target]

The [Target]-button opens the menu for the change of sequencer-line

targets. Sequencer lines can control parameters of the analog-synth, trigger

note events for the DSP- and the analog synth and can control external

MIDI-equipment!

2.5.4 "Groove-Edit"-section

(in the middle of the panel directly above the encoders 1-16)

In the "groove-edit"-section of the Spectralis you can create new rhythm motifs for

your patterns.

[Step/Accent]

The [Step/Accent]-button opens the beatmatrix menu in the display. The

Beatmatrix is a powerful grid editor which enables you to create and edit

new drum grooves fast and easily in the style of vintage drum computers.

The Beatmatrix uses the buttons [1]-[16] for creating new rhythms. A

practical lesson for the input of new rhythm-motifs can be found on page

78 of this manual.
