THE PATTERN SEQUENCER
52 Monomachine SFX-6/60 USER’S MANUAL
There are three parameters available in the SCALE SETUP window. The
underlined focus is moved with the [LEFT] and [RIGHT] keys.
1. The first parameter sets the total number of steps of the pattern. When in
focus, use [UP] and [DOWN] to increase/decrease the number of steps.
The LEVEL encoder is also controlling this parameter, and the [TRIG]
keys can be used as well to set the end step.
2. The second parameter sets the scale length in divisions of 16 (one full
page). If the scale length is higher than 16 the [SCALE] key need to be
used in grid composing mode to toggle the focus of the [TRIG] keys
between the pages.
3. The third parameter is the tempo multiplier. It allows a pattern to be
played back 200% of the global tempo. This is for increasing the step res-
olution to 1/32 notes. There are two possible settings, “1X” and “2X”.
• Even though you set a pattern to have a certain length using scale
setup, you can change this row by row in the song editor. See sec-
tion “THE SONG SEQUENCER” on page 73 for more information.
• The [SCALE] key offers a quick way to cycle the scale length in
steps of 16.
• When changing the scale length so more pages come in use, lower
pages will automatically be copied to higher, but only if nothing so
far has been programmed on the pages added. Pages can also be
manually copied, see section “PAGE COPY” on page 57.
TEMPO
The tempo in the Monomachine is a global parameter. It is however not
stored in the Global slots (see page 87). The tempo will naturally control the
playback speed of the patterns, but also control various parameters in the
Monomachine, such as the Hold parameter, the Delay and LFO speeds and
some machine parameters.
The tempo is controlled from the Tempo screen, and can also be set in the
Song Sequencer.
THE TEMPO SCREEN
The tempo screen is called by pressing the [TEMPO] key.
From here you can use the LEVEL encoder to change the current tempo in
integer steps. The [UP] and [DOWN] arrow keys change the decimal part of
the tempo. Holding [FUNCTION] while editing the tempo will delay the
change of tempo until you release the [FUNCTION] key.
