Base Unit And Length

The Base Unit parameter, together with the current

Tempo setting (see page 77) designates and completes

the timing resolution for the sequence pattern.

The Length parameter setting determines the length of

the sequence pattern based on number of steps. One

step is equivalent to one note, so based on the Base

Unit setting, you can also select odd-numbered steps to

create odd-numbered beats (such as setting the Length

to "3" for 3/4-time, or to "5" for 5/4-time), as well as

create completely unconventional rhythms.

For more information about Base Unit and Length, see page 91. Also see the

section on Arpeggio Subdivide, which is similar to Base Unit, page 34.

Loop Type

The Loop Type parameter lets you determine the type of

loop cycle for the sequence pattern. The pattern always

loops, and you can designate it to loop either forward,

backward, or designate one of two alternating

forward/backward types.

Scene Switch

The Scene Switch setting (in the VOICE ARPEGGIO/SEQ

menu) determines whether the Step Sequencer Pattern will

play Scene 1, Scene 2, or both Scenes. The current Scene

status will also affect how the Scenes play.

Control Number

The Control Number setting determines the type of

MIDI Control Change message which can be output by

each event upon sequencer play. Once the Control

Number is set, the Control Change event is selected

with (Knob) Event [UP/DOWN], and the value to be

output via each step is edited with the corresponding

CONTROL knob.

For more information, see page 91. For more information about MIDI Control

Change messages, see page 109.
