10. THE SEQUENCER

10.3.1 TRIG TYPES
Two types of trigs exist, note trigs and lock trigs (previously called trigless locks). Note trigs trig notes
while lock trigs can be used to apply parameter locks without trigging notes. Note trigs are indicated by
red [TRIG] keys and lock trigs are indicated by yellow [TRIG] keys. For more information, please see
“10.12.1 PARAMETER LOCKS” on page 45. The two types of trigs are entered dierently depending on
whether GRID or LIVE recording mode is active.
10.3.2 GRID RECORDING MODE
GRID RECORDING is a method of composing where trigs are added by using the [TRIG] keys.
Enter GRID RECORDING mode by pressing the [RECORD] key. A lit red [RECORD] key indicates GRID
RECORDING mode is active. Select the track to which you want to add trigs by pressing the relevant
[TRACK] key. Place note trigs on the sequencer by pressing the [TRIG] keys. To add note values to trigs
of the synth tracks, press and hold a [TRIG] key while pressing a [KEYBOARD] key. To add a lock trig,
press [FUNC] and [TRIG]. Add micro timing to a note trig by pressing and holding the [TRIG] key while
pressing [LEFT] or [RIGHT]. A micro timing pop up menu will appear, showing the note oset.
If the pattern contains more than 16 steps, switch to the pattern page you want to edit by pressing the
[PAGE] key. The active pattern page is being indicated by a fully lit <PATTERN PAGE> LED.
Press [PLAY] to listen to the sequence.
All trigs of a track can be shifted forward or backward on the sequencer. While in GRID
RECORDING mode, hold down [FUNC] while pressing the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] arrow keys
to perform the trig shift.
10.3.3 LIVE RECORDING MODE
LIVE RECORDING mode is the second method of adding trigs to the tracks. In this recording mode, the
[KEYBOARD] keys, or an external MIDI keyboard connected to the Analog Four MKII, can be played in
real time to input trigs to the tracks. It is also possible to enter parameter locks in real time. Trigs input
in LIVE RECORDING mode will be placed on the sequencer in a micro timed fashion, meaning the µTM
parameter in the NOTES SETUP menu will be locked accordingly to more accurately reflect the input
timing of the trigs. This makes LIVE RECORDING mode record note inputs in a more expressive and
un-quantized way. Micro timed trigs can be quantized, which is done in the NOTES SETUP menu. For
more information, please see “10.4.1 NOTES SETUP” on page 40. For more information, please see
“10.8 NOTE MENU” on page 42.
Hold [RECORD] and press [PLAY] to enter LIVE RECORDING mode. The sequencer will start to play,
and the <RECORD> LED will start to flash. You can now enter trigs to the active track in real time by
pressing the keys on the KEYBOARD. For the synth and CV tracks, note values according to the KEY-
BOARD key presses will be recorded. To activate quantization of the LIVE RECORDING, do as above but
double-press [PLAY].
To real time erase all trigs from a track, press and hold [TRACK] + [NO]. All trigs hit by the running LED
of the sequencer will be erased from the active track. The trigs of more than one track can be removed
by pressing several [TRACK] keys simultaneously.
To stop both the recording and the playback of the sequencer, press [STOP]. To exit LIVE RECORDING
mode while keeping the sequencer playing, press [PLAY]. If LIVE RECORDING mode is active and [RE-
CORD] is pressed, GRID RECORDING mode will be entered.
10.4 TRACK MENU
In this menu settings and options related to the active track are found. Open the menu by pressing [TRK].
Navigate in the list using the [UP]/[DOWN] arrow keys or the TRACK LEVEL knob. Select options by press-
ing [YES]. Change the track that the menu will aect by pressing the [TRACK] keys.
