44 Sequencer Dave Smith Instruments
To play a polyphonic sequence:
1. Press play. The sequence plays back at the current BPM setting.
2. To stop playback, press
play again.
Alternatively, you can start and stop sequencer playback using a footswitch
connected to the rear-panel
sequencer jack or using MIDI start/stop messages sent
from a DAW or other MIDI device. See “Seq Pedal Mode” on page 17 for more
information.
Use the bpm, divide, or tap tempo controls to adjust sequencer playback speed.
To transpose a polyphonic sequence:
1. Press play. The sequence begins playback.
2. Press and hold
record and press a key on the keyboard. “Middle C”
is the reference point. Playing a note above middle C transposes the
sequence higher by that interval. Playing a note below middle C trans-
poses the sequence lower by that interval.
Editing a Polyphonic Sequence
You can edit a sequence after you’ve recorded it. This is convenient for
xing mistakes or modifying it without having to completely re-perform it.
To edit a polyphonic sequence:
1. Press the sequencer’s record button.
2. Use the sequencer’s
track knob to select the track (1-6). Because you
can record up to 6 notes per step, tracks 1-6 each represent a note. If a
track/step has no note recorded on it, the Velocity parameter will say
“Rest.”
3. Use the sequencer’s
parameter knob to select the step you want to edit.
If a track/step has no note recorded on it, the Velocity parameter will
say “Rest.”
4. Use the sequencer’s value knob to change the note (C0 - G10). Turn
the knob fully clockwise to add a tie. Alternatively, press a key on the
keyboard to enter the note quickly (along with the velocity at which
you play it).
