OVERVIEW
The following details show some of the basic
operation of the sequencer. You can create a short
pattern of 2 or 3 steps, before trying more complex
patterns. Adjust a single parameter at a time, such as
gate length, ratchet, accent, glide, rest, tie, or swing,
and then listen to its effect during playback.
It will help to choose a simple setting for the
synthesizer, such as only one source, and no
modulation of the VCO or VCF.
The length of the step notes can be adjusted using
the procedure shown on page 24.
RECORDING A SIMPLE PATTERN
1. Press SHIFT and <KYBD to select the
keyboard mode.
2. Initialise the current pattern by pressing
SHIFT, RESET, and PATTERN at the same time.
This will delete any previous steps of the
current pattern.
3. Press REC, and the STEP 1 switch LED will
begin flashing, indicating this is the current
step about to be added and edited. (If you
cannot select REC, then repeat step 1.)
4. Press any note on the keyboard, or a rest as
shown below.
5. To enter a rest instead of a note, press the
HOLD/REST switch. When a rest is added, the
LOCATOR LED 8 will light.
6. Press further notes. The next STEP switch LED
will be flashing after each note or rest has
been added.
7. The gate length of a step can be adjusted
using the TEMPO/GATE LENGTH control. The
LOCATOR LEDs will turn red, showing the gate
length from 1 to 8. If set to 8, this creates a tie
with the next step. If the next step is the same
note, this creates a longer note, as the 2 steps
are tied.

8. To create a "Ratchet," hold SHIFT, and turn the
GLIDE control. The locator LEDs will show the
number of ratchets from 1 to 4, in yellow. For
example, with a setting of 4, the single step
is split into 4 equal parts. When a ratchet is
applied, the LOCATION LED 6 will light.
9. To turn the GLIDE on for a step, turn up the
GLIDE control. To turn off, turn it all the way
down. When GLIDE is on for a step, the
LOCATION LED 5 will light.
10. To increase the brightness or accent, press
the RESET/ACCENT switch. When an accent is
applied, the LOCATION LED 7 will light.
11. Press REC when you have finished creating
the pattern. It is not saved yet, but it can be
played back. Caution: Do not turn off the
unit, or create a new pattern, or the current
unsaved pattern will be lost.
PLAYING A PATTERN
1. Press PLAY/STOP to listen to the
current pattern.
2. If you decide not to save it, you can repeat the
recording steps above to record a new pattern.
Alternatively, press PATTERN and RESET to
recall the currently saved pattern, and discard
any changes.
3. If you decide to save the pattern, you must
follow the "SAVING A PATTERN" procedure
shown below, or it will not remain in memory
if a new pattern is begun, or the power is
turned off.
4. To create a SWING for this pattern, hold SHIFT
and adjust the TEMPO/GATE LENGTH control.
In the center position, no swing is applied, if
turned down, only the off-beats will play, and
if all the way up, only the on-beats will play.
The SWING setting for the pattern is saved
when the pattern is saved as shown below.
5. While playing a pattern:
Press HOLD/REST to hold the current step.
Press RESET/ACCENT to return to step 1.
Press SHIFT and any STEP, and you can edit the
gate length, rest, accent, ratchet, glide but not
note. Press SHIFT and the same STEP again to
exit step edit. (If playback is paused, the same
operation can edit the note as well.

4. Press SHIFT and PAGE to return to automatic
page turning.
Press SHIFT and ARP/SETEND and a STEP to
change the sequence end step.
PLAY/STOP to pause playback.
6. Press PLAY/STOP.
SAVING A PATTERN
1. Press and hold SHIFT + PLAY/STOP for 2
seconds until the LOCATOR LED of the current
pattern number begins to flash green slowly.
2. Press a STEP switch 1 to 8 to select the new
desired pattern number.
3. Press PATTERN + STEP switch 1 to 8 to select
the desired bank number.
4. Press SHIFT + REC to save the pattern and exit
the save mode.
