Working With Other Sequencers - Omnitronic Key-288+ Bedienungsanleitung

Latch
Latch lets you use the Arpeggiator without holding down keys. Any notes you press and release concurrently
will form a new arpeggio pattern which the arpeggiator 'latches' onto. The arpeggiator then continues to play
as if you never released the keys. When you press a new key, the previous arpeggio erases and a new one
forms.
To turn on Latch, press and hold the Arp button, and then press the key below 'Latch'.
8.1.9 Fixed Chord
Fixed Chord lets you play a chord shape and then transpose it by pressing other keys. Press and hold the
FIXED CHORD button to set a chord. Then, while still holding the button, press and release the keys that
you wish to be part of your chord. The chord is now stored. Keep in mind that the first note that you input into
the chord is considered the 'root note' of the chord, even if you then add notes lower than the first one, like in
the example below. These steps illustrate how to use Fixed Chord: Press and hold the FIXED CHORD
button.
These steps illustrate how to use Fixed Chord:
1) Press and hold the FIXED CHORD button.
2) Press and release C, then E, and finally G (a C Major chord). The controller stores this as the 'fixed
chord'. Release the FIXED CHORD button.
3) Major chords will now sound on whatever key you press. For example, you can now press F to hear an F
Major chord (shown below), or Ab to hear an Ab Major chord etc. Whenever you enter the Fixed Chord
settings, the stored chord is erased and a new chord must be entered for Fixed Chord to work again.

8.2 Working with other sequencers

A MIDI sequencer will allow you to record, play back, store and edit MIDI data. Although hardware
sequencers exist, we will focus on the more commonly used software sequencers in this manual. Examples
of popular DAW are Cubase
sequencer, you need to set up the sequencer software so that your controller can be recognized as your
DAW's MIDI input device. You need to choose a MIDI output device that is capable of making sound when
MIDI data is sent to it. This may be a soundcard on your computer, a VST instrument or a sound module
connected to a MIDI port which is in turn connected to your computer. Please consult your sequencer's user
manual for more information on how this is done. In this manual, section 8.1 "Using Ableton Live" details how
your controller will appear in the device listing of your sequencer. With your controller set up to communicate
with the sequencer, data will go into the sequencer and will be routed to a virtual synthesizer within the
sequencer software or sent to an external sound module via a MIDI output port. The virtual synthesizer or
external sound module will turn the MIDI data into audible sounds. You can then record the incoming MIDI
data and edit your performance using your sequencer.
