MATRIX PATTERN SEQUENCER748
4. Click inside the upper grid section of the Matrix pattern window.
An orientation line is displayed in the grid to make it easier for you to find the desired note, and the red rectangles
are placed according to where you click. You can drag to input continuous note values.
5. Click and drag in the lower area of the pattern window.
You can create vertical Gate velocity strips of varying heights. The higher the strip, the higher the velocity value.
6. Press the Play button on the Matrix.
The pattern you “programmed” in the previous steps is now repeated. At the top of the pattern window, a red rect-
angle indicates every step of the pattern.
D If you now click or drag in the upper grid section with the pattern playing, you can hear how the note pitches
change.
The note pitch corresponds to the keyboard printed to the left of the pattern window, in a one octave range, and as
previously mentioned, an orientation line is visible when clicking or dragging, making it easy to find the note pitch
on the keyboard.
D If you now click or drag in the lower gate section while the pattern is playing, you can hear how the timbre and
volume changes.
D If you drag some of the vertical rectangles down so that they disappear from view, the corresponding steps of
the pattern are completely silenced.
D By using the 5-way switch below the “Keys/Curve” switch you can input notes in other octave ranges (over five
octaves).
Note that there can only be one note for each step in the pattern.
7. By using a combination of the methods described in the above steps, you can program suitable note values for
each step, decide which steps should be played and set their velocity with the gate values.
