13.1.3.2. Editing a sequence
Once you have entered the desired notes you can fine-tune the sequence, either by
changing the notes you've stored in a step or by adding modulation to a step:
• select the sequence you want to edit (A or B)
• make certain that "play" is turned off and press record
• turn the Rate/Swing encoder to "scrub" through the sequence.
The MicroFreak will play back all data stored in a step including modulation events you have
stored in the modulation tracks [p.77]. When you reach the end of the sequence, it cycles
back to the beginning.
If there is a step on which you want to change the stored data, select it with the encoder
and hold new notes to replace the ones that were previously stored in the step.
To erase the content stored in a step press the "Hold" icon; this inserts a rest in that step.
Note: When in step mode the active sequencer can also record notes and velocities you play
on an external keyboard into the MIDI In port.
Note: When in step mode, turning [Shift]+[Rate/Swing] allows you to change the length of the
sequence on the fly.
13.1.3.3. Real-time recording a sequence
Real-time recording is similar to recording on a loop pedal. In step recording, only the
Record icon is lit up. To record in real time, activate "play" and then press Record. When
the Record icon starts blinking the track is ready and waiting for you to play notes or knob
movements into it.
Note: When recording, notes will run continuously and record whatever you play replacing
what you have recorded in the previous loop. When recording modulation the sequencer
will run one cycle and then punch out (stop recording).
Real-time recording is very much a fun feature: you cannot make complicated edits, but
some editing is possible:
• If during recording you press a note, it will overwrite the current recorded
content.
• If you want to erase notes or modulation events in the sequence, press Hold
when recording is active at the moment these notes or events occur. They will be
replaced by silence, and you can fill them in during the next record cycle.
If your MicroFreak is connected to a computer running a DAW (a software sequencer) you
could prepare a complex sequence in the DAW, set the MicroFreak to Real-time recording
and press play on the DAW. It will take some experimentation to get this right, but it can be
done. At this point the Modulation tracks are still empty, so you can enhance the sequence
by recording knob movements on the modulation tracks.
Tip: When recording in real time the number of steps in a sequence becomes important;
more steps mean that you can record in a higher "resolution". You set the number of
steps in Utility>Preset>Seq length. Choosing a low recording rate helps to insert notes and
modulations with more precision.
