Step Sequencer – Editing Sequence PatternsWaldorf Q User’s Manual 42Deselecting all StepsTo prevent that the sequence pattern is accidentally changed, you should deselect all steps afteryou’re done with the modifications you’ve wanted to do.+ To deselect all selected steps:• Press Bank Select briefly.Programming Notes or ChordsAs soon as you select at least one step, the step sequencer is ready to record notes or chords that youprogram over the keyboard. Each sequence pattern can hold up to 256 notes, each step up to 8 notes.E.g., one step can play a chord of 8 notes while the next step only plays 1 note.+ To program a note or chord:1. Select any number of steps.2. Play the note or chord on the keyboard.As soon as you program a step, the step sequencer automatically advances to the next step. This isalso true when more than one step is selected, all steps are advanced by one and you can programthe following set of steps.If only one bank is selected, the step bank is also advanced when you program a note or chord. Thisgives you the ability to program a whole sequence pattern in one run without selecting individualsteps or banks. However, if more than one bank is selected, the step banks aren’t advanced althoughthe selected steps are still advanced in the selected bank.. It is a handy feature to program more than one step at a time, e.g. when you want to program aBass Drum into a 1/16th sequence pattern. Just select all four step banks and select the steps 1and 5. Now hit one note and the sequence pattern is programmed.. When you want to program a 1/16th HiHat pattern, just perform the same selection as abovebut play four notes with different velocities in sequence.Programming a PauseA sequence pattern doesn’t need to play notes on all steps but can have pauses between some notesor chords.+ To program a Pause:1. Select any number of steps.2. Press Pause.w Programming a Pause in fact deletes all notes of the selected steps. There is no specific “deletenotes” function because the Pause function is meant to do this task.Holding Notes over More Than One StepAlthough you can change the length of each step individually, it might be easier to use the Holdfunction instead to keep the overall length of the sequence pattern. |
