68 Sequencer Dave Smith Instruments
To play a sequence:
1. Press play. Use the bpm, divide, or tap tempo controls to adjust
sequencer playback speed
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 “22. Seq Pedal Mode: Normal, Trigger, Gate,
T-G—Selects the mode for the rear-panel sequencer jack.” on page 127 for more
information about choosing the appropriate mode for these behaviors..
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 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 sequence:
1. Press the sequencer’s record button.
2. If you have created a sequence with chords, use Soft Knob 1 (
chord/
note) to select any note (1-6) within the chord. Because you can record
up to 6 notes per step, values 1-6 each represents a note. If a track/step
has no note recorded on it, the velocity parameter will say “Rest.”
3. Use Soft Knob 2 (
step) 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 Soft Knob 3 (
note) 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).
5. To edit a note’s velocity numerically, use Soft Knob 4 (velocity) to
enter a velocity value, 1-127. Turning the knob fully clockwise sets the
step to rest.
