Tips and Tricks
Automating sample playback parameters from the sequencer
Besides the extensive modulation capabilities of the Modulation Bus, the sample playback parameters can also be
automated in the main sequencer. For example, you could automate the Sample Start and/or Sample End markers in
the Sample section to have the markers reposition in real-time during playback of the main sequencer. Below is a ba-
sic example of how you could automate various sample playback parameters:
1. Record some notes on the Grain sequencer track in the main sequencer and then hit Stop twice.
2. Hit Record again in the main sequencer and drag the Sample Start and Sample End markers during recording:
3. Hit Stop in the sequencer twice when you are done recording.
If you moved both the Sample Start marker and the Sample End marker you will now have four parameter automa-
tion lanes/tracks in the sequencer.
The Display Y lane/track and the Display Gate lane/track always appear as soon as you have recorded any
marker movements in the Sample section display.
The Display Y lane/track represents the vertical movements you made with the mouse during the recording.
This automation doesn’t affect the sample playback in any way but can instead be used as a modulation source in
the Modulation Bus, for modulating the desired destination parameter(s).
The Display Gate lane/track reflects when you clicked (and held) the mouse button during the recording.
This automation doesn’t affect the sample playback either but can be used as a modulation source in the Modula-
tion Bus, for modulating/gating the desired destination parameter(s).
The Position and End Pos lanes/track represent the movements of the Sample Start and Sample End markers
respectively.
D If you like you could also record automation of the Sample Range Zoom and Scroll parameters by dragging the
markers in the Sample Overview area:
After recording the movements of the Sample Range markers, two new Parameter Automation lanes/tracks ap-
pear:
The Scroll lane/track represents the movement of the leftmost Sample Range marker, and thus the movement
of the entire sample range.
The Zoom lane/track represents the movement of the rightmost Sample Range marker, and thus the zooming
(in or/and out) of the sample range.
q It’s also possible to automate the Motion, Speed, Jitter and Global Position parameters.
