THE SEQUENCER

PATTERN CONTROL
Pressing [PLAY] will start the playback of a pattern. Pressing [STOP] will stop the playback of all tracks. The
sound will be cut off, but effects like Delay will continue to be audible until the delay repeats have faded out.
When the sequencer has stopped, quickly press [STOP] + [STOP] to stop playback of all tracks and fade out
the send effects.
When a pattern is playing and [PLAY] is pressed the playback will be paused. Press [PLAY] again to resume
the playback.
If a pattern contains more than 16 sequencer steps, the <PATTERN PAGE> LEDs will indicate this. When a pat-
tern is playing, the currently active pattern page is shown with a flashing, full-bright, <PATTERN PAGE> LED.
TEMPO
Pattern tempo is global and will affect all patterns. Pattern tempo is set in the TEMPO menu. Press [TEMPO] to
open it.
Use the LEVEL knob to change the tempo setting. The [UP] and [DOWN] key changes the decimal part of the
tempo.
To tap a tempo setting, hold the [FUNCTION] key and tap the [TEMPO] key in a steady rhythm. After four con-
secutive taps the average tempo of the taps will be calculated. By continuing tapping, the average tempo will
keep on updating.
The tempo can be temporarily nudged up or down by 10% by pressing the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] arrow keys.
When the key is released the BPM will revert back to the original setting.
When in the TEMPO menu, holding [FUNCTION] while turning the LEVEL knob will not change the tempo to
the selected value until the [FUNCTION] key is released. While doing this, “PREP.” will flash in the bottom left
corner of the screen.
• Tempo shift is very handy when manually syncing Analog Rytm to a turntable or an external
sound source. Note that you do not need to be in the TEMPO menu to perform tempo shifting.
PATTERN MODES
When changing patterns, different modes affecting the way the active pattern will be changed exist. Toggle
between the PATTERN modes by pressing [FUNCTION] + [BANK GROUP]. The <PATTERN MODE> LED
shows which mode is selected. Three PATTERN modes exist.
DIRECT START will immediately change patterns. The new pattern will start playing from the beginning. This
mode is shown with a red <PATTERN MODE> LED.
DIRECT JUMP will immediately change patterns. The new pattern will start playing from the position where the
previous pattern left off. This mode is shown with a green <PATTERN MODE> LED.
SEQUENTIAL will change patterns after the pattern currently playing reaches its end. This mode is the default
mode. It is shown with an unlit <PATTERN MODE> LED.
