it. See section “FULL PATTERN COPY” on page 54 for more informa-
tion on copying patterns.
In grid composing mode, pressing keys [LEFT] and [RIGHT] while
holding [FUNCTION] rotates the pattern.
You can avoid general need of NOTE_OFF trigs by making good use
of the Hold parameter (see section “AMPLIFIER ENVELOPE” on
page 25).
Depending on the scale setup, you might have a longer pattern than
what is possible to edit with the 16 LED’s and [TRIG] keys. In that
case, you need to use the [SCALE] key to change between the
pages. See section “SCALE, PAGES AND TIME SIGNATURES” on
page 51 for more information.
LIVE RECORDING
The second method of recording notes in the sequencer is by recording
them live while playing. You can record both from the Keyboard and the
[TRIG] keys.
1. Begin with following the instruction in section “RECORDING PREPARA-
TIONS” on page 44.
2. To start recording in live recording mode, hold [RECORD] while pressing
[PLAY]. This starts the sequencer recording and the record LED will start
flashing.
3. You can now play notes on the Keyboard or the [TRIG] keys, and they
will be quantised and recorded to the closest trig step in the pattern.
4. If a note is played on a step where there already was a note programmed
the new note will replace the old note.
5. Chords can also be recorded in the sequencer. They will only make effect
when in Poly mode (see section “POLY MODE” on page 68) or when the
Arpeggiator (see section “THE ARPEGGIATOR” on page 59) is active.
6. To erase notes on live recording mode hold [EXIT/NO] while the notes
you want to remove are heard.
7. The pattern will loop and be ready for further recording until you press the
[STOP] key.
All live recorded data will be quantised to the current scale resolu-
tion (1/16 or 1/32 notes).
If you want to edit the recorded notes, you can use grid compose as
described in section “GRID COMPOSING” on page 44.
PARAMETER LOCKS
One major advantage of the Monomachine is the straightforward method to
lock parameter settings to specific trigs steps. This function is named
Parameter Locks. Parameter locks can be programmed in both Grid Com-
