MATRIX PATTERN SEQUENCER745
• Curve CV is a separate pattern, programmed separately from the Note/Key and Gate CV.
Curve CV values (upper window).
This is useful for programming CV curves that control other parameters other than note pitch (although you could do
this too). This way you could control the note pitch and triggering from the Key and Gate outputs for a device, then
add a second independent pattern using the Curve CV output that could control filter cutoff for example.
It should be stressed that all three outputs can be used in any number of ways. For example, you could use the Gate
CV to trigger a drum in Redrum, or let the Curve CV control the feedback parameter of a delay, etc.
Programming patterns
Pattern basics
Matrix contains a built-in pattern sequencer that repeatedly plays back a pattern of a specified length. The typical ex-
ample in the “real world” is a drum machine which plays drum patterns, usually one or two bars in length.
Having the same pattern repeat throughout a whole song may be fine in some cases, but most often you want some
variations. The solution is to create several different patterns and program pattern changes (automatic switching from
one pattern to another) at the desired positions in the song.
Selecting Patterns
The Matrix has 32 pattern memories, divided into four banks (A, B, C, D).
The Bank and Pattern buttons for the Matrix pattern sequencer.
D To select a pattern in the current bank, click on the desired Pattern button (1-8).
