Step Designer
The Step Designer is a MIDI pattern sequencer that sends out MIDI
notes and additional controller data according to the pattern you set
up. It does not make use of the incoming MIDI, other than automation
data (such as recorded pattern changes).
Creating a basic pattern
1. Use the Pattern selector to choose which pattern to create.
Each Step Designer can hold up to 200 different patterns.
2. Use the Quantize setting to specify the “resolution” of the pattern.
In other words, this setting determines how long each step is. For example, if Quantize
is set to “16th” each step will be a sixteenth note.
3. Specify the number of steps in the pattern with the Length setting.
As you can see in the note display, the maximum number of steps is 32. For example,
setting Quantize to 16 and Length to 32 would create a two bar pattern with sixteenth
note steps.
4. Click in the note display to insert notes.
You can insert notes on any of the 32 steps, but the Step Designer will only play back
the number of steps set with the Length parameter.
