THE MIDI SEQUENCER
71
THE MAIN MIDI SEQUENCER INTERFACE
LEN (note length) sets the maximum time the note will be played until a NOTE OFF is sent.
Notes can also be interrupted with NOTE OFF trigs (set by pressing a [TRIG] key while
holding [FUNCTION]). If you prefer to stop notes with only NOTE OFF trigs, set LEN to the
maximum value. Notes will then have infinite length. Use parameter locks to set different
note lengths for different steps.
VEL (velocity) controls the MIDI velocity sent for each note. Use parameter locks to set dif-
ferent velocity values for different steps.
PB (pitch bend) controls the MIDI pitch bend setting.
PCHG (program change) can be used for outputting MIDI program change commands, in
order to change the patch of the external MIDI device. The PCHG parameter only transmits
data when parameter locked. It is not possible to slide this parameter.
CC 1-4 (control change 1-4) set the control change parameter values. Which parameters
that are used is set in the Global “MIDI SEQUENCER SETTINGS” menu page (see
page 108 for more information).
COMPARISON WITH THE INTERNAL SEQUENCER
The MIDI sequencer tracks function to some degree like their internal counterparts. Below
is a list of similarities and differences:
• The MIDI sequencer tracks do not offer any trig tracks, since MIDI does not allow for
such type of extended control.
• The MIDI sequencer offers six additional arpeggiators with individual settings, but they
do not offer any envelope trigging switches
for the same reason as mentioned above.
• The MIDI sequencer tracks offer individual swing and slide tracks, but the swing amount
is a common parameter for the pattern.
• The MIDI sequencer offers individual track transpose, but the pattern transpose is a
common parameter for the whole pattern.
• The MIDI sequencer tracks share the LFO’s with their equally numbered internal
sequence tracks.
• The settings of the main MIDI sequencer interface is stored as part of the kit. If you
make changes to the parameters you need to save the kit in order to keep them.
• The internal sequencer also transmits MIDI. If you want more tracks for controlling
external MIDI gear you can mute the audio output of internal tracks, enable MIDI
output and use them only for controlling external gear, extending the six MIDI
