POLY D Sequencer Operation

(EN) Sequencer Operation

SEQUENCER OVERVIEW
The following details show some of the basic
operation of the sequencer. You can create a short
pattern of 2 or 3 steps, before trying more complex
patterns. Adjust a single parameter at a time, such as
gate length, ratchet, accent, glide, rest, tie, or swing,
and then listen to its effect during playback.
It will help to choose a simple setting for the
synthesizer, such as only one source, and no
modulation of the VCO or VCF.
RECORDING A SIMPLE PATTERN
1. Press SHIFT and <KYBD to select the
keyboard mode.
2. Initialise the current pattern by pressing SHIFT,
RESET, and PATTERN at the same time. This will
delete any previous steps of the current pattern.
3. Press REC, and the STEP 1 switch LED will begin
flashing, indicating this is the current step about
to be added and edited. (If you cannot select
REC, then repeat step 1.)
4. Press any note on the keyboard, or a rest as
shown below.
5. To enter a rest instead of a note, press the HOLD/
REST switch. When a rest is added, the LOCATOR
LED 8 will light.
6. Press further notes. The next STEP switch LED
will be flashing after each note or rest has
been added.
7. The gate length of a step can be adjusted using
the TEMPO/GATE LENGTH control. The LOCATOR
LEDs will turn red, showing the gate length
from 1 to 8. If set to 8, this creates a tie with the
next step. If the next step is the same note, this
creates a longer note, as the 2 steps are tied.
8. To create a "Ratchet," hold SHIFT, and turn the
GLIDE control. The locator LEDs will show the
number of ratchets from 1 to 4, in yellow. For
example, with a setting of 4, the single step
is split into 4 equal parts. When a ratchet is
applied, the LOCATION LED 6 will light.
9. To turn the GLIDE on for a step, turn up the
GLIDE control. To turn off, turn it all the
way down. When GLIDE is on for a step, the
LOCATION LED 5 will light.
10. To increase the brightness or accent, press
the RESET/ACCENT switch. When an accent is
applied, the LOCATION LED 7 will light.
11. Press REC when you have finished creating the
pattern. It is not saved yet, but it can be played
back. Caution: Do not turn off the unit, or create
a new pattern, or the current unsaved pattern
will be lost.
PLAYING A PATTERN
1. Press PLAY/STOP to listen to the current pattern.
2. If you decide not to save it, you can repeat the
recording steps above to record a new pattern.
Alternatively, press PATTERN and RESET to
recall the currently saved pattern, and discard
any changes.
3. If you decide to save the pattern, you must
follow the "SAVING A PATTERN" procedure
shown below, or it will not remain in memory
if a new pattern is begun, or the power is
turned off.
4. To create a SWING for this pattern, hold SHIFT
and adjust the TEMPO/GATE LENGTH control.
In the center position, no swing is applied, if
turned down, only the off-beats will play, and if
all the way up, only the on-beats will play. The
SWING setting for the pattern is saved when the
pattern is saved as shown below.
5. While playing a pattern:
Press HOLD/REST to hold the current step.
Press RESET/ACCENT to return to step 1.
Press SHIFT and any STEP, and you can edit the
gate length, rest, accent, ratchet, glide but not
note. Press SHIFT and the same STEP again to
exit step edit. (If playback is paused, the same
operation can edit the note as well.
Press PAGE to view the pattern page from 1 to 4.
Press SHIFT and PAGE to return to automatic
page turning.
Press SHIFT and ARP/SETEND and a STEP to
change the sequence end step.
PLAY/STOP to pause playback.
6. Press PLAY/STOP.
SAVING A PATTERN
1. Press and hold SHIFT + PLAY/STOP for 2 seconds
until the LOCATOR LED of the current pattern
number begins to flash green slowly.
2. Press a STEP switch 1 to 8 to select the new
desired pattern number.
3. Press PATTERN + STEP switch 1 to 8 to select the
desired bank number.
4. Press SHIFT + REC to save the pattern and exit
the save mode.
