Sequencer Section
(1) TEMPO/GATE LENGTH – this controls the
sequencer and ARP tempo when the clock
source is set to internal. During step editing,
it also controls the gate length.
If SHIFT is held while the sequencer is playing,
then it adjusts the swing. If SHIFT is held while
an arpeggio is playing, then it adjusts the ARP
gate length.
(2) PORTAMENTO – during step editing, this
fader can be used to add a Ratchet by splitting
the current step into 1, 2, 3, or 4 parts. Hold
down SHIFT and move the fader to split the
current step into the number of parts shown
by the LOCATOR LEDs (yellow) 1 to 4.
(3) HOLD/REST – during keyboard play, this
allows you to hold the last note played.
In sequencer playback, this allows you to hold
the current step. During step editing, it allows
you to enter a rest. Press HOLD and ARP to
hold an arpeggio.
(4) RESET/ACCENT – during playback, this
allows you to reset the pattern back to step 1.
During step editing, you can add an accent to
a step.
(5) ARP (SET END) – In ARP mode, an arpeggio
will play, based on the held notes on the
keyboard. Double-press ARP, or press HOLD
and ARP, to keep playing an arpeggio when
all keys are released. In Sequencer mode,
pressing SHIFT and SET END together,
followed by a STEP switch, will allow that step
to become the end of the current pattern.

(6) PATTERN (BANK) – This switch is used to
access either the current pattern, or bank
number, as follows:
PATTERN: Press PATTERN, and one of the 8
LOCATION LEDs will show the current pattern
number (from 1 to 8). To change to a different
pattern number, keep PATTERN held down
and press any of the STEP switches (1 to 8),
or press <KYBD to decrease, or STEP> to
increase the pattern number.
BANK: Press SHIFT and PATTERN, and one of
the 8 LOCATION LEDs will show the current
bank number (from 1 to 8). To change to a
different bank number, keep both SHIFT and
BANK held down, and press any of the STEP
switches (1 to 8), or press <KYBD to decrease,
or STEP> to increase the bank number.
(7) SHIFT – This is used to access the secondary
features of 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.
(8) PAGE – each pattern can be up to 32 steps in
length. 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.
(9) PLAY/STOP – starts or stops the playback of
the pattern. If SHIFT is held at the same time,
then this is the start of the pattern saving
procedure, described below.

REC – press this to begin the recording of
(10)
a new pattern. This is also used with SHIFT
during the pattern saving procedure.
LOCATION – these multi-colored LEDS show
(11)
various details, such as the current PATTERN
number, current BANK number, current PAGE,
RATCHET, and GATE LENGTH.
KYBD – press SHIFT + <KYBD to change the

sequencer to KEYBOARD mode.
STEP – press SHIFT + STEP> to change the
(13)
sequencer to STEP mode. Note, if the keyboard

STEP mode.
STEP SWITCHES – these multi-function
(14)
switches allow you to view and select
individual pattern steps, select a pattern
number, select a pattern bank. During
recording of a pattern, they show the
current step. Active steps are illuminated
with a steady red LED, and the current step
flashes red.
