MATRIX PATTERN SEQUENCER
198
D If you drag some of the vertical rectangles down so that they disappear
from view, the corresponding steps of the pattern are completely si-
lenced.
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.
Using Curve Patterns
Curve patterns are independent patterns that can be applied separately to the note
pattern programmed in “Keys” mode. If you switch the Keys/Curve switch to “Curve”,
the note, but not the gate steps, disappear from view, and leaves the upper area of the
pattern window empty. You can now start programming a curve pattern. Proceed as
follows:
1. Draw a curve, using the same method as for notes or gates.
As you can see, the Curve pattern looks like large vertical gate steps.
D If you play the pattern, nothing has changed, i.e. the pattern sounds ex-
actly like it did before the Curve pattern was drawn.
This is because the Curve CV output hasn’t been connected to any parameter yet.
2. Flip the rack around so you can see the back panel of the Matrix.
3. Connect the Curve CV output to the Filter Cutoff Modulation Input on the
Subtractor.
Now the curve pattern controls the filter frequency of the Subtractor.
✪ If the effect isn’t very noticeable, try raising the filter Q parameter, and
lowering the filter frequency.
D The Curve CV output can be connected to any device CV or Modulation
input.
Actually, Curve CV signals can also produce Gate triggers (used for triggering
samples or envelopes for example).
D A Gate trigger is produced for each curve pattern step that follows a
value of “0”.
If you look at the picture below, steps 2,4 and 6 will produce a trigger, because
steps 1, 3 and 5 are set to zero, but the rest of the pattern would not.
