Operation Manual

THE SEQUENCER
10
The pattern is converted to sequencer notes on the track (see the notes below). If the
length of the area between the locators is greater than the pattern length, the pattern
will be repeated to fill out the area.
The created notes are automatically grouped (as indicated by the colored boxes). Read more about
groups on page 15.
Redrum notes
When you use this function with the Redrum, you should note the following:
• The notes will have the pitch of the corresponding drum sound (see “Using Re-
drum as a Sound Module” on page 106) and the velocity depending on the Dy-
namic value.
Soft notes have velocity 30, medium notes have velocity 80 and hard notes have
velocity 127.
• You probably want to turn off the “Enable Pattern Section” switch on the Redrum
device panel.
Otherwise, the drum sounds will be “double-triggered” when you start playback
(once by the pattern section itself, once by the main sequencer).
Matrix notes
When you use this function for the Matrix, you should note the following:
•A note will be created for each pattern step with a gate value other than zero.
The notes will have the pitch according to the key CV value for the step, and the
velocity according to the gate value.
• The curve CV is not copied.
• Make sure that the track is connected to the correct device!
Having the track connected to the Matrix itself is pointless, since the Matrix cannot
produce any sound.
• You may want to disconnect or even remove the Matrix after performing a “Copy
Pattern to Track”.
This is because you probably don’t want both the Matrix and the sequencer notes
to play back at the same time.
The “Convert Pattern Track to Notes” function
If you have recorded or drawn pattern changes on a Redrum or Matrix track, you can
have the whole track converted to notes, in the following way:
1. Select the track with the pattern changes.
2. Select “Convert Pattern Track to Notes” from the Edit menu or the context
menu for the track.
For each bar, the corresponding pattern is converted to notes on the track (follow-
ing the same rules as for the “Copy Pattern to Track” function). The track will play
back just the same as when you played the pattern device with the pattern
changes.
D All pattern changes are automatically removed from the track after the
operation.
Redrum notes
• The “Enable Pattern Section” switch is automatically turned off when you use this
function.
Matrix notes
• After performing “Convert Pattern Track to Notes”, you need to move the contents
to another track, or re-route the track to another device.
Having the track connected to the Matrix itself is pointless, since the Matrix cannot
produce any sound.
• You may want to disconnect or even remove the Matrix after performing this func-
tion.
This is because you probably don’t want both the Matrix and the sequencer notes
to play back at the same time.
In these sections, the pattern was muted
(Pattern Enable off) in the pattern track.
