OCTAVE/LOCATION - these multi-colored LEDS show
(29)
various details, such as the Octave, PATTERN number,
BANK number, current PAGE, and GATE LENGTH.
KEYBOARD/STEP SWITCHES - these multifunction
(30)
switches allow you to view and select individual pattern
steps, select a pattern number, select a pattern bank.
They are used during recording of a pattern to show the
current step. Active steps are illuminated with a steady red
LED, and the current step flashes red.
The switches are laid out as a 13-note keyboard. The octave
can be moved up and down by pressing the <KYBD or
STEP> switches, and the row of 8 LEDs will show the current
octave. The switches are used to control the sequencer
editing, as well as the arpeggiator operation.
SHIFT - this is used to access the secondary features of
(31)
some of the other sequencer controls, such as SET END,
BANK, SWING, KYDB, and STEP. Hold down SHIFT and
the other switch at the same time. For example SHIFT +
PATTERN (BANK) will show the current BANK number in
the LOCATOR LEDs.
PAGE - each pattern can be up to 32 steps in length.
(32)
This switch allows you to show each of the 4 pages of
8 steps each. The LOCATION LEDs 1 to 4, show which page
you are on. If a pattern is playing, the STEP LEDs will show
the steps in use on the current page.
PLAY/STOP - starts or stops the playback of the pattern.
(33)
If SHIFT is held at the same time, then this is the start of
the pattern saving procedure.
REC - press this to begin the recording of a new pattern.
(34)
This is also used with SHIFT during the pattern saving
procedure.
KYBD - press SHIFT + KYBD to change the sequencer
(35)
to keyboard mode. Press to change the 13-note
keyboard octave.
STEP - press SHIFT + STEP to change the sequencer to
(36)
STEP mode. Press to change the 13-note keyboard octave.
POWER - indicates that power is supplied to the unit and
(37)
the rear-panel power switch is on.
MIDI Section
MIDI IN - this 5-pin DIN jack receives MIDI data from an
(38)
external source. This will commonly be a MIDI keyboard,
an external hardware sequencer, a computer equipped
with a MIDI interface, etc.
MIDI OUT/THRU – passes through MIDI data received at
(39)
the MIDI INPUT and sends MIDI data to an application.
