Setting Rate
The Rate knob determines the rate of the step sequence.
• You can either use “free running” rates (i.e. not synced to main sequencer tempo) or synced tempo.
This is set with the Sync button on/off status. If Sync is active you can set the tempo in various beat resolutions.
Setting other values for steps
For each step you can also program other parameters with the step value knobs apart from note pitch. You use the
Edit knob to set one the following:
D Velocity - if this is selected as the Edit mode you can set a velocity value for each step.
Default value is 100, range is 0-127.
D Gate Length - if this is selected as the Edit mode you can set a Gate Length value for each step.
Default is 75%. Gate Length determines the length of the note played for that step.
D Step Duration - if this is selected as the Edit mode you can set a Step duration value for each step.
This parameter determines the total length of the step, which is a factor related to the sequencer rate. Range is 1/
4 to 4. E.g. if Rate is 1/16, “1” means a 1/16-note will be played, a “4” means a 1/4-note will be played, and so on.
D The Curves 1 and 2 allow you to set values for each step that can be sent to control parameters of your choice.
This is done in the Modulation bus routing section, where these two independent Curves are selectable as Source
controllers.
q You can compare these curves to the Curve CV output of the Matrix - they simply represent a series of values
which can be applied to anything.
Step Pattern functions
You will find some specific Step pattern functions on the Edit menu (and on the device context menu). These are as
follows:

Function

Description
Randomize Sequencer Pattern The Randomize Pattern function creates random patterns. The function only randomizes the se-
lected Edit value (e.g. if set to Note, only the note pitch values are randomized, not velocity, gate
length etc.).
Shift Pattern L/R The Shift Pattern functions move the pattern one step to the left or right. All parameters (rests,
note pitch, velocity etc.) are shifted one step.
