MIDI Sync ignores the internal tempo and locks the Sequencer and Arpeggiator to incoming
MIDI clock. Use this if you're using the MatrixBrute with a MIDI sequencer or other MIDI
equipment. External Sync may come from three sources: MIDI In, MIDI over USB and Sync
port. You can choose the source you wish to use with the MIDI Control Center.
• Gate sets the on/off length of each step, on a scale from 1 to 99. At 99, each note
trigger is held until the following step.
• Swing delays every odd-numbered step to create a shuffle rather than a straight
pattern. 50% is no swing, 75% is maximum swing. With 8th notes, for example,
50% swing gives you even 8th notes, and the more swing you add, the closer
you get to a dotted 8th followed by a 16th note.
• Rate dials in the sequencer tempo, from 30 to 259.9. The tempo is shown in the
display. When sync’d to MIDI, the rate knob will increment in exact divisions of
time based on the incoming clock.
• Tap this button to tap in the tempo. The sequencer engine updates with every
tap, so you can keep tapping if you need to follow a drifting tempo, and result is
shown in the display. Taps are relative to the current note value (see the following
topic), so if you're set to quarter notes, each tap is a quarter note. If you're set to
1/8th note triplets, each tap is one of those, and do on.
