THE MIDI SEQUENCER
Monomachine SFX-6/60 USER’S MANUAL 69
THE MIDI SEQUENCER
Each of the six internal sequencer tracks of the Monomachine sequencer is
doubled with a MIDI sequencer for controlling external MIDI gear. The six
MIDI sequencer tracks are part of each pattern, and operate individually,
with a few connections with the internal tracks. The LFO’s are shared
between the internal tracks and the MIDI sequencer tracks. The MIDI tracks
are always played simultaneously and synchronised with their internal coun-
terparts.
Switch between internal sequencer and MIDI sequencer editing by pressing
[MIDI SEQ] while holding [FUNCTION]. MIDI track editing is indicated by all
the <TRIG TRACK> LED’s unlit, and the four uppermost <DATA PAGE>
LED’s lit.
USING THE MIDI SEQUENCER
The Monomachine MIDI Sequencer is used almost identical with the internal
sequencer. The main difference being that no internal sound is generated,
data is only transmitted on the MIDI OUT port, for controlling external MIDI
gear.
Use the [TRACK] keys to select the focus of the MIDI track you wish to edit.
Note that MIDI tracks are muted separately from the internal tracks with the
[TRACK] keys while holding [FUNCTION], or through the special Mute
Mode interface (see section “THE MUTE MODE” on page 66).
To get any sound out of the MIDI sequencer you need to connect the MIDI
IN port of another MIDI device to the MIDI OUT port of the Monomachine.
The external MIDI device need to listen to the MIDI channel of the Monoma-
chine MIDI track in focus. The Keyboard, [TRACK] keys and MIDI
sequencer output of the track is now directed to the MIDI channel selected
in the Global “MIDI SEQUENCER SETTINGS” menu page (see section
“MIDI SEQUENCER SETTINGS” on page 97 for more information).
Please refer to sections “GRID COMPOSING” on page 44 and “LIVE
RECORDING” on page 46 for information on how to input notes in the
sequencer.
• Chords can be entered in the MIDI sequencer, but all notes of the
chord need to be the same length. If you want to play true poly-
phonic notes you need to make use of several tracks and direct the
output to the same MIDI channel.
