CHAPTER 3: SEQUENCES
PLAYING SEQUENCES
Sequences are repeated melodic figures that you trigger from the keyboard.
Press [SEQUENCES] near the DATA DIAL. To cycle through different
Sequences, turn the DATA DIAL. The Sequence will change, with the
current Sequence name shown in the display.
Press a key to play a Sequence. The Sequence continues playing as long
as you hold down the key.
Using [LATCH ARP]
Press [LATCH ARP] to let the Sequence continue playing after you release
the key.
Press [LATCH ARP] again to stop the Sequence from playing.
Using [TAP TEMPO]
Tap the [TAP TEMPO] button to increase or decrease the speed of the
Sequence. To adjust the tempo with finer control, hold down [TAP TEMPO]
and turn the DATA DIAL. The display will indicate the precise tempo.
SEQUENCE TYPES: ARPEGGIOS & SEQUENCES
A Sequence can be set to one of two types: "arpeggio" or "sequence".
Arpeggios and sequences both respond to a key press by playing a series
of notes over a programmed rhythmic pattern. The difference lies in which
notes they play.
An arpeggio loops over whatever notes you are holding down on the
keyboard. If you hold down a chord, the MINIAK will generate a melody by
playing each note of your chord individually.
A sequence, on the other hand, already has a melody line built in. So, all
you have to do is hold down a single key, and the MINIAK will play back that
melody relative to that key. Pressing another key will transpose the
sequence.
A Sequence can easily be switched from an arpeggio to a sequence, and
vice-versa. The underlying rhythmic pattern is kept the same–all that
changes is whether the Sequence plays the notes you hold down or the
notes it was recorded with.
If the distinction is unclear, choose your favorite Sequence, toggle its "type"
parameter between "arpeggio" and "sequence" (see page 24), and try
playing it both ways.
Phrases versus Sequenc
e
s
In Programs and Multi modes, the [PHRASE ARP] button lets you quickly
record and repeat a riff or melody line. Phrases are designed to be used
"live", when inspiration strikes as you're playing.
A phrase is nothing more than a Sequence that was recorded using the
[PHRASE ARP] button. In fact, the most recently recorded phrase is
stored as a Sequence named "* Phrase". If you happen to record a
phrase that you really like and want to hang on to, simply find the "*
Phrase" Sequence and give it a new name.
