Sequencer
Overview
When the sequencer is turned on, the patterns displayed in the sequencer are played. Each pattern has its own length, waveform and set of envelopes. An instrument may have several patterns using different waveforms and envelopes. The same pattern can also be used with different lengths. To reset the waveform or envelopes for an instrument's patterns between the start and end loop delimiters press the "w" or "e" button (number 8.)
