8. THE SEQUENCER
30
The TEMPORARY SAVE PATTERN and TEMPORARY RELOAD PATTERN commands are
great when improvising live. Any changes made to the active pattern, like adding bass line
notes or using CONTROL ALL, can immediately be undone. At the same time, the saves
and reloads will not aect the pattern in a permanent way.
The TEMPORARY SAVE PATTERN command does not save the pattern permanently, and
any changes are lost if you load another project. If you wish to save your changes perma-
nently, you should use SAVE PATTERN in the SETTINGS MENU. For more information,
please see “11.1.2 SAVE” on page 36.
8.13 CHAINS
Chains are sequences that consist of more than one pattern. You can use chains to preselect and automate
in what order you want your patterns to play.
You can create one chain, and it can contain any pattern in bank A–H. The chain can consist of up to 64
patterns.
1. Press and hold [PATTERN] and then press [T1–T6] to select a bank.
2. While holding [PATTERN] press and hold a [TRIG 1–16] key to select the first pattern in the chain.
3. Press [TRIG 1–16] keys in the same order as you want the chained patterns to play. Keep a previous
[TRIG] key pressed while you press the next one, the one after that and so on. You can press the
same [TRIG] key again if you wish to add the pattern multiple times in a row. If you want to add a pattern
from another bank, press [T1–T6] to select a bank, and then press [TRIG 1–16] to select a pattern.
4. Press [PLAY] to start the sequencer and play the chain. The chain is looped and starts to play from
the beginning again after the final pattern of the chain has played.
• Chains can be created while the sequencer is running.
• You can also use MIDI program change messages from an external device to change
patterns on the Model:Samples. For more information, please see “11.3.1 SYNC” on page
37.
Please note that the chain are lost when you create a new chain or when you select a new
bank/pattern. Also, chains cannot be saved and are lost when you switch the Model:Samples
