6.1.5. Fast Ties
There's an easy way to create tied notes: the Fast Tie function. It works for all three
sequencers (SEQ1, SEQ2, and DRUM). Here's how to do that:
6.1.5.1. …for patterns 16 steps or shorter
• Press and hold one of the Step buttons.
• Press the second Step button to tie all steps between the two Step buttons.
• Release the buttons.
See More about Tied events [p.69] for more information.
6.1.5.2. …for patterns >16 steps
If you have a pattern that's longer than 16 steps [p.44] , it's also possible to tie notes from
different Step Groups together using this method. One way to do this is:
• Select the first Step Group. For this example, we'll start with Step Group 1 (steps
1-16).
• Press and hold the first step of the tied event. We'll use Step button 15 for this
example.
• While still holding Step button 15, press the >> button to cross over into the second
Step Group (steps 17-32).
• Press a Step button in the second Step Group to tie all steps between the two
Step Groups.
See More about Tied events [p.69] below for more information.
6.1.5.3. More about Tied events:
1. There will be a delay of up to 700 milliseconds before the tie will be applied.
2. The gate time of all intermediate steps will be set to TIE, except for the last step;
its gate time will remain unchanged.
3. SEQ1 or SEQ2 only: The pitch of all intermediate steps will be set to the pitch of
the first step.

Note : Tied step will be displayed in Cyan while holding Shift. It is a great way to see which steps are
tied.
