6.1.9 Recording automation in the Step Sequencer
It is also possible to record automation in the Step Sequencer. Enter the Step Sequencer by
pressing STEP. Hold the Pad representing the Step you want to automate and turn the Knob
that represents the parameter you want to automate; after a short while, the Displays will
show you the parameters of the selected Page. Note: all Steps after the one you recorded
automation for will have the same parameters as the automated one since only the offsets
are recorded.
%
If you want to automate only one of the Steps, set the parameter of the next Step back
to its default value.
6.1.10 Step Grid, Pattern Length Grid and Quantization
Step Grid
The Step Grid property affects all Pattern editing actions, including quantization (“note
snap”). The default setting is 1/16th, however you may use another one or disable the Step
Grid completely.
To change the Step Grid’s quantization settings, press and hold GRID followed by Button 4;
the Right Display will show you which Pad represents which Grid.
