THE MIDI SEQUENCER
Monomachine SFX-6/60 USER’S MANUAL 71
COMPARISON WITH THE INTERNAL SEQUENCER
The MIDI sequencer tracks function to some degree like their internal coun-
terparts. Below is a list of similarities and differences:
• The MIDI sequencer tracks do not offer any Trig Tracks, since MIDI
do not allow for such type of extended control.
• The MIDI sequencer offers six additional arpeggiators with individ-
ual settings, but they do not offer any envelope trigging switches
for
the
same reason as mentioned above.
• The MIDI sequencer tracks offer individual swing and slide tracks,
but the swing amount is a common parameter for the pattern.
• The MIDI sequencer offers individual Track transpose, but the Pat-
tern transpose is a common parameter for the pattern.
• The MIDI sequencer tracks share the LFO’s with their equally num-
bered internal sequence tracks.
• The internal sequencer can also transmit MIDI. If you want more
tracks for controlling external MIDI gear you can mute the audio out-
put of internal tracks, enable the MIDI output of them and use them
only for controlling external gear, extending the six MIDI sequencer
tracks. Read more about how to configure the MIDI output of the
internal sequencer in section “CONTROL OUT1” on page 91.
• The Monomachine makes distinction between MIDI sent out of the
unit and MIDI received. Even if the same MIDI channel is selected for
one track of the MIDI sequencer and the one track of the internal
sequencer, the MIDI sequencer will not control the internal sounds,
as the MIDI sequencer data is only going out through the MIDI OUT.
• As the MIDI sequencer tracks are part of the pattern, they will also
be played as part of the Multi Trig, Sequence start. This can allow
tight integration of external MIDI gear in the Monomachine perform-
ance.
