9.8.2. Per-sequence parameters

The knobs display that sequence's Length (in steps) and Swing %. The pull-down menu on

the right allows you to select the Gate Length for the notes in that sequence.

Remember:

each sequence can have its own Length, Swing and Gate settings.

9.8.2.1. Seq Length

A sequence can be as short as 1 step and as long as 64 steps. There are two ways to change

the length value: click on the knob and turn it, or click in the field and enter a value between

1 and 64.

As the length is changed you will see a difference in the sequence window. For example,

let's look at a 4-step sequence:

Everything to the left of the white line is within the active portion of the sequence. As the

length increases, the white line will move to the right.

This also illustrates an interesting feature: a sequence can be shortened and still retain the

data that was there originally. So at a later point you can re-lengthen the sequence and all

of the original data will be available once again.

The patterns can be up to 64 steps long, and the unused steps are darkened because they

are outside the pattern length area.

The steps are numbered along the bottom of the window:
