To avoid having to hold a key down, set the Push It Mode (Misc.
Parameters) to Toggle. Then use P
USH IT to start and stop the
sequencer. You may also want to change the Push It Note, the BPM,
and the C
LOCK DIVIDE.
5. Choose a destination for the sequence.
6. Use the S
TEP and VALUE controls to enter the desired values.
As the sequence loops, you will hear your edits.
7. Choose another sequence and follow the same basic steps until you’re
happy with the results.
8. Dont forget to write your edits to memory! Sequences are saved with
the related program. Just press W
RITE and then YES to save the
program and sequences.
More Sequencer Parameters
The previous section covers the basics of sequencer programming, but there are
some additional parameters that affect the sound and user interaction with the
sequencer.
Slew
In modular analog synthesizers, a lag processor or slew limiter is used to create
a time-varying change—a smooth transition—between successive, discrete
control voltage levels. The rate of change is called the slew rate and one
common application is to create a glide (aka portamento) effect between notes.
Among the possible destinations for Mopho x4 sequences two and four is a
sequence-only parameter called Slew. Slew behaves a little differently from the
other modulation destinations, in that it is not really a destination at all; instead,
it affects the sequence above it. That is, if Slew is the chosen destination for
sequence two, it controls sequence one, and Slew in sequence four controls
sequence three.
In Mopho x4’s sequencer, Slew sets the slew rate between the previous step’s
value and the current step’s value when the step is gated on. Confused yet? This
should help: let’s say sequence one is routed to oscillator frequency and
sequence two to Slew. Increasing the Slew value for step four will cause the
oscillator frequency to glide from the step three value when step four is gated
on. The higher the Slew value, the slower the slew rate. And the slew rate can be
different for each step. But its not just for oscillator glide. Slew can be applied to
any of the destinations. For example, sequence three could be routed to filter
cutoff with Slew in sequence four used to create a less abrupt transition from
one step to the next.
