recorded. Any changes to the PARAMETER page settings, using the DATA ENTRY knobs, will be recorded on
the sequencer as parameter locks.
In order to activate or deactivate quantization of the LIVE RECORDING, press [RECORD], then double-press
[PLAY]. Repeat the command to deactivate. Quantisation of live recording can also be set in the SEQUENCER
CONFIGURATION menu found in the GLOBAL menu.
Press [NO/RELOAD] + one (or several) of the [PADS] in order to erase a sequence of recorded trigs on a track
(or on several tracks) in time with the sequencer, i.e. all steps reached on the pattern playing will be erased, until
the keys are released.
To stop both the recording and the playback of the sequencer, press [STOP]. To exit LIVE RECORDING mode
while keeping the sequencer playing, press [PLAY]. If LIVE RECORDING mode is active and [REC] is pressed,
GRID RECORDING mode will be activated.
RETRIG MENU
When the [RETRIG] key is pressed, the retrig menu for the active track will appear on the leftmost side of the
LCD screen. In this menu, a host of retrig actions can be set. Each of the twelve drum tracks can have its own
set of retrig settings. The retrig settings are stored to the active kit.
Use the [ARROW] keys [UP] and [DOWN] to highlight one of the retrig actions (there are more than the four vis-
ible on the screen). Change values using the [ARROW] keys [LEFT] and [RIGHT]. The values can also be set
using the LEVEL knob. The retrig actions available in this menu are:
*RETRIG Sets the retrig rate (1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/12, 1/16, 1/20, 1/24, 1/32,
1/40, 1/48, 1/64 or 1/80). 1/16 is the nominal retrig rate, one trig per step. 1/32 corresponds to
two trigs per step and so on. In order to trig triplets, for example, set the retrig rate to 1/12 (or
1/24).
*LENGTH Sets the duration of the retrig velocity curve in fractions of, or rational or integer
multiples of, a step (0,125 - INF). 1/16 is the nominal length of one step. This setting affects
the behaviour of the velocity curve (see directly below), by defining the boundaries of its enve-
lope.
*VEL. CUR Sets the velocity curve fade out/fade in of the retrig (-128 to 127). -128 corre-
sponds to a complete fade out during the set length, -64 fades out to half the velocity during
the set length, 0 equals a flat velocity curve with no fade, 64 fades in to half velocity during the
set length and 127 fades in completely to full velocity during the set length.
*Q.START Starts the retrig at a set quantization point synchronous with the sequencer (OFF,
1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1).
*ALWAYS ON Sets retrig lock ON/OFF. When on, the retrig will activate whenever the pad of
the active track is pressed without the need to press [RETRIG] first.
Retrigs can be recorded on the sequencer, in GRID RECORDING mode as well as in LIVE RECORDING mode.
They are recorded as separate trigs. If the retrig speed is greater than the duration of a sequencer step, trigs are
created with additional internal steps (i.e. steps with retrig enabled).
