sounds. A quick command for this setting exists. Press [TRANSPOSE] + [TRACK] to acti-
vate/deactivate the transpose functionality for a track. Read more about track transpose on
page 39.
CLICK TRACK
The CLICK TRACK menu controls the internal metronome of the Analog Four. Open the menu by pressing
[FUNCTION] + [KEYBOARD A1]. Use the [UP]/[DOWN] arrow keys or the LEVEL knob to select in the list of
settings. Press [LEFT]/[RIGHT] to change the highlighted setting.
ACTIVE activates/deactivates the metronome. It is also possible to press [FUNCTION] and
double-pressing [KEYBOARD A1] to toggle the metronome on or off.
TIME SIG. NUM controls the note measure of the metronome time signature.
TIME SIG. DENOM controls the beat measure of the metronome time signature.
PREROLL controls for how many bars the metronome will sound before the sequencer starts
playing. This setting is only relevant when LIVE RECORDING mode is initiated.
VOLUME controls the volume of the click.
SCALE MENU
Here the general length and timing of the active pattern is set. Two modes exist in the SCALE menu. In NOR-
MAL mode all tracks share the same length. In ADVANCED mode each track can have different lengths. Access
the SCALE SETUP menu by pressing [FUNCTION] + [PAGE]. Use the [LEFT] and [RIGHT] arrow keys to
select between the available settings. Use the [UP] and [DOWN] keys to adjust the different settings and to
select between the two modes. The LEVEL knob can be used to adjust settings as well.
NORMAL MODE
This is the default mode. In this mode all tracks of the pattern share the same length and time signature. This
screen will appear when the NORMAL setting is active.
The first two settings control the step length of the pattern. The leftmost number selects the number of steps in
the pattern. The maximum number of steps available to the pattern is determined by the total length, set by the
parameter to the right. This can be either 16, 32, 48 or 64 steps. If 17 steps or more are used in a pattern, the
[PAGE] key is, while in GRID RECORDING mode, used to toggle between the different pattern pages.
The rightmost parameter controls the time signature of the pattern. It offers seven possible settings, 1/8X, 1/4X,
1/2X, 3/4X, 1X, 3/2X and 2X. A setting of 1/8X will play back the pattern at one eighth of the set tempo. 3/4X
plays the pattern back at three quarters of the tempo. 3/2X will play back the pattern twice as fast as the 3/4X
setting. 2X will make the pattern play at twice the BPM.
