THE MIDI SEQUENCER
114
NOT2-NOT4 will add more notes, offset from the root note by the selected values, to a note
trig. This makes it possible for a MIDI track to send out chords consisting of up to 4 notes. If
the root note is changed the offset notes will transpose accordingly. When a [TRIG] key is
pressed and held the added notes can be seen on the mini-keyboard. A value of 0 will
remove an offset note.
NOTE SETUP
Here the MIDI channel that the MIDI track should send data to is specified. Bank and pro-
gram change values are set here as well. When selecting a value in this menu the graphics
of the parameter will become inverted. This indicates the parameter value hasn’t been acti-
vated yet. Press the corresponding DATA ENTRY knob or [ENTER/YES] to activate the
parameter change.
CHAN sets the MIDI channel the track will send MIDI data to. When set to OFF the track
will not send data to any MIDI channel.
BANK can be used for sending out a bank change message. Bank 0 to 127 can be sent.
The maximum parameter value is OFF, which will make the track not send out any bank
change message. The setting made here is sent every time a pattern linked to another part
becomes active.
PROG can be used for sending out a program change message. Program 0 to 127 can be
sent. The maximum parameter value is OFF, which will make the track not send out any
program change message. The setting made here is sent every time a pattern linked to
another part becomes active.
ARPEGGIATOR MAIN
An arpeggiator is a device that generates rhythmical note progressions.
TRAN is used to transpose the arpeggio up or down in the specified amount of semitones.
This setting will affect the note trigs of the track even if the MODE setting is set to OFF.
LEG controls the legato of the arpeggiator. This setting will affect the note trigs of the track
even if the MODE setting is set to OFF.
• ON will play overlapping notes legato, releasing the old note after the new one. The
NLEN setting adjusts the length of the notes when the arpeggiator is activated. If not
activated the LEN setting will adjust the length of the notes.
