THE STEP SEQUENCER SECTION
The most obvious and straight–forward feature is
trigger entering. Unlike most drum machines and
grooveboxes, the PĒRKONS HD-01 has a step sequencer
for each voice, so you can enter triggers simultaneously
for all four voices. While the sequencer is running, push
the step buttons to activate triggers on each voice.
STEP PROGRAMMING
You can also do tap programming. While the sequencer
is running push and hold the REC button and use TAP
buttons to enter the triggers. The entered triggers will
automatically quantize to the nearest 16th steps and the
corresponding step LEDs will illuminate.
TAP PROGRAMMING
If accents are enabled in the configuration settings
(see page 31 of the manual), you can set each step to be
either accented or without accent - press a step once
to activate it - it is now without an accent, press the
same step again and the LED brightness increases -
the step is now accented. This allows for creating more
expressive sequences.
STEP ACCENTS
The Step Sequencer provides simultaneous control over all four voices – trigger entering as well as secondary functions – time divisions and multiplications, groove settings, play mode and modulation matrix.
