7. Enter some events in the Gate Graph by clicking the cells. The Gate Graph switches steps on and off in the

pattern.

Now try playing chords on your MIDI keyboard.
Note how the chord does not reset the pattern when you play it – generated note events occur when the

sequencer falls on steps with the Gate cell turned on.

8. Switch to the Advanced engine type.
You’ll notice that the sequencer

generates notes without any keyboard
input.

9. In the ‘Triggering’ section, set the

Latch/Hold parameter to ‘Off’.

You’ll notice that the sequencer

no longer generates notes without
keyboard input.

Now try playing a chord – the behaviour

is much the same as it was before
switching the engine type.

10. Set the Trigger Mode parameter to ‘Trig’.
Now try playing a chord. You’ll notice the pattern now starts from the

beginning whenever you play a new chord.

The Advanced engine type offers many ways of creating very complex

arpeggio patterns – see section 8:13 for more details, or just experiment!
