LEFT HAND CONTROLLER
PLAY
The PLAY button activates the Arpeggiator or Sequencer.
(TIE)
When the MODE switch is set to REC, the PLAY button is used to enter a TIE step
when recording to the Sequencer. A tie is used to string two individual notes
together musically.
NOTE: If the same note is tied together multiple times in a row, it will be heard during
playback as if that one note is being held continuously. If different notes are tied together, the transition
between notes will be heard as legato-style playing. This is especially useful when using Glide.
HOLD
The HOLD button activates the HOLD function, allowing the Arpeggiator or
sequencer to continue to play even after your hand is lifted from the keyboard.
Notes played while other notes are being held on the keyboard will be added to
an arpeggiated pattern. Notes played after all ngers have been lifted from the
keyboard will begin a new pattern.
(REST)
When the MODE switch set to REC, the HOLD button is used to enter a REST step when recording to
the Sequencer. A rest is used to create a timed musical pause.
TAP
The TAP button can be used to set the Arpeggiator or Sequencer playback rate by
feel. Press the TAP button at least three times in a row, at the desired tempo, to set
the rate of the Arpeggiator or Sequencer. The TAP button will light up when Tap
Tempo is active. To exit Tap Tempo, press and hold the TAP button for about one
second, until its light turns off.
NOTE: If an external clock is detected and in use, the tap-tempo operation will have
no effect.
(ACCENT)
When the MODE switch set to REC, the TAP button is used to add an ACCENT to a step when
recording to the Sequencer. The Accent function utilizes a dedicated envelope with a fast attack and
release time to add musical emphasis or impact to an individual note. This Accent envelope appears at
the KB VEL OUT jack (ARP/SEQ module) when the Sequencer is playing only.
NOTE: In order to for Grandmother to reect this dynamic change, you will need to connect a patch
cable from the KB VEL OUT jack (ARP / SEQ module) to the CUTOFF IN jack on the Filter module. You
can also patch this to other modules for more creative use.
