Operation Manual

THE SEQUENCER
93
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”) and the velocity depending on the Dynamic 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 right track is selected (normally the track for the device that the
Matrix is connected to)! Creating notes for the Matrix itself is pointless, as the Ma-
trix 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 note clips on the track (fol-
lowing 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 automation is automatically disabled after the operation (the
pattern lane is turned off).
This means you can later go back to pattern automation if you so wish, by turning
the pattern lane on again.
Redrum notes
• The “Enable Pattern Section” switch is automatically turned off when you use this
function.
Matrix notes
• Make sure that the right track is selected (normally the track for the device that the
Matrix is connected to)! Creating notes for the Matrix itself is pointless, as the Ma-
trix 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 the device at the same time.
