5. While holding a [TRIG] key you can see a mini-keyboard appearing after
a short delay. It is located in the lower left corner of the LCD interface.
This mini-keyboard indicates the pitch of the note, both by a marking on
the mini-keyboard and printed below. The <KEYBOARD> LED’s of the
Monomachine also indicate the pitch programmed.
6. There are two methods for adjusting the pitch of a trig. You can either
press a key on the Keyboard while holding the [TRIG] key to set the
pitch indicated by the Keyboard key. You can also use the [CURSOR]
keys to adjust the pitch programmed while holding the [TRIG] key. Hold-
ing [FUNCTION] while pressing the [RIGHT] or [LEFT] key adjusts the
pitch one full octave up or down.
7. You can set NOTE_OFF trigs by pressing the [TRIG] key while holding
[FUNCTION]. NOTE_OFF trigs are events that tell that the key is lift up,
starting the Release phase of the Amplitude Envelope (see page 25).
NOTE_OFF are indicated with yellow <TRIG> LED’s.
8. Chords can also be programmed. These can be used for Poly mode (see
section “POLY MODE” on page 68) and trigging the arpeggiator (see sec-
tion “THE ARPEGGIATOR” on page 59). If not in Poly mode and if the
Arpeggiator is not activated, only the base pitch will sound. You can pro-
gram chords with the Keyboard by pressing more keys while holding the
first base pitch key. The mini-keyboard shows chord-notes as dots. A
scroll list will appear below the mini-keyboard and the base pitch. This list
can also be edited using the [CURSOR] keys. Press [ENTER/YES] to
enter the list if no chord key yet is entered.
• In the Monomachine, you work directly in the pattern memory. There
is no need to save patterns. If you wish to keep the pattern intact
you will have to copy it to another pattern before you begin editing
