posing mode and Live Recording mode. All parameters of the Data Entry
pages can be locked. Parameter locks are an important tool for creating
unique dynamic loops with the Monomachine.
PARAMETER LOCKS IN GRID COMPOSING MODE
To program parameter locks in grid composing mode, follow the steps
below.
1. Begin with following the instruction in section “RECORDING PREPARA-
TIONS” on page 44.
2. Enter grid composing mode by pressing the [RECORD] key. The
<RECORD> LED above the key should now be firmly lit.
3. Press and hold a [TRIG] key for the step where you want to add a lock.
Note that if there is a trig already set for the step it is not removed if you
keep the [TRIG] held down until you see the mini-keyboard.
4. While holding the [TRIG] key, you can now tweak the parameter of your
choice with the DATA ENTRY encoders. You can tell that the parameter
has been locked by the parameter being inverted on the LCD. You can
also click an unlocked parameter once to lock it to its current value. When
the [TRIG] key is released, the trig for that step will hold the parameters
that you just programmed. The parameter will be held until a new trig is
played.
5. If you want to view the current parameter lock settings for a step, hold the
[TRIG] key until you see the mini-keyboard appear. You can tell which
parameters are locked by them being inverted.
6. Remove a single parameter lock by clicking the DATA ENTRY key while
holding the [TRIG] key.
7. To remove all parameter locks for a step, remove the trig by pressing its
corresponding [TRIG] key. Then insert it again by pressing it again. You
can also delete the trigs for the step by holding the [TRIG] and press the
[CLEAR] key.
8. You can copy a trig step, including pitch and all parameter locks. To do
this, press and hold the [TRIG] key for the step you want to copy, and
press the [COPY] to perform the note copy. Then hold the [TRIG] key for
the step you want to paste the trig to, and press [PASTE] to perform the
paste note operation.
• In grid composing mode, you can verify which steps have parameter
locks by looking at the <TRIG> LED’s. A firmly lit <TRIG> LED
means that the corresponding step has no parameter locked,
whereas a rapid interval flash indicates it does have one or many
parameter locks.
