THE PATTERN SEQUENCER
48 Monomachine SFX-6/60 USER’S MANUAL
• More than one parameter can be locked on a track specific step.
Other tracks can have locks on the same step as well. A pattern can
have a total of 62 parameter-tracks that carries independent locks.
• A lock is a snapshot of a parameter setting. It changes the parame-
ter value from its original value stored in the kit, but only for that
note trigging. The parameter will change back to its default state for
the next trig if no further parameter locks are made for that note and
parameter.
PARAMETER LOCKS IN LIVE RECORDING MODE
In live recording mode, you can record parameter locks in real-time. To do
this, follow the steps below:
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. Record parameter locks by adjusting the corresponding DATA ENTRY
knob while the sequencer is playing and recording. When changing a
parameter, the parameter lock will be set to the next trig step played on
the track. If a parameter is not changed between two trigs no parameter
lock will be recorded for that step.
4. To remove parameter locks you need to enter Grid Composing mode and
follow the instructions in “PARAMETER LOCKS IN GRID COMPOSING
MODE” on page 47
• It is often a good idea to edit and fine tune the parameter locks in
grid composing mode, after recording them in live recording mode.
ADVANCED SEQUENCER CONTROL
For users that seek the most control over the music creation control the
Monomachine offer unique sequencer features for fine tuned sequencing.
The extended functionality fits into a familiar environment, so it is very possi-
ble to use the SFX-6/60 with great reward without mastering the features
described here. We do suggest though that you take some time to study this
section after you have familiarised yourself with the other aspects of the
Monomachine.
TRIG TRACKS
Monomachine extends the traditional concept of sequencer control. With the
SFX-6/60 you can separate pitch sequencing from envelope trigging and
parameter locks. For each track you have access to three individual sub
