13.2. The Modulation Tracks
Without a doubt, the most exciting feature of the Sequencer are its four modulation tracks.
A sequence pattern record notes (the pitch of a note) and velocities (the strength with which
you hit the key); modulation tracks record knob positions.
In Step-recording mode the modulation tracks enable you to take snapshots of knobs and
record these snapshots along with a sequencer step. Recording on a modulation track is a
two-step process: first, you record a sequence in the standard track, and when done you fill
the modulation tracks.
Note: When recording in Step mode, pressure data isn't saved with the Preset since it can't
be recorded in Step-recording mode or edited.
There are as many modulation steps as there are sequencer steps. In a track you can store
the states of only one specific knob. As there are four tracks you can store the values of four
knobs, up to 64 values for each knob.
Note: The actual number of values you can store depends on the length of the sequence.
You can store 16 values in a 16 step sequence and 64 in a 64 step sequence.
Note: Note and Modulation recording can happen simultaneously; hold the notes and turn
the knobs.
13.2.1. Step-time recording of modulation
To record modulation in step time:
• Select the sequence into which you want to record events.
• Make certain "play" is off and turn on step recording by pushing the record
button.
• Turn the Sequencer Rate knob until you are on the first step of the sequence, or
select another step in the sequence if that's where you want to add events.
• Now turn a knob you want to record. While turning the knob nothing will be
recorded, but you monitor what is happening. Once you've found a knob position
that you want to record, let go of the knob. MicroFreak will take a snapshot of the
knob and store it with the step.
• Turn the Sequence Rate knob to the next step and move the same knob to
another position you want to record. Continue to do this until you've filled every
step with a snapshot.
Note: When you try to record the activity of a fifth knob the display will flash a message
saying "Memory full".
If you touch a knob when in step recording mode, that button will automatically be assigned
to the first available modulation track. When starting with a new sequence that will be
modulation track one. Touch another knob, and it will be assigned to the next available
modulation track. You may have guessed by now that there are two ways to fill modulation
tracks: you can fill a track and then continue to the next track taking snapshots of another
knob, or you fill a step and record four knob positions simultaneously and then continue to
the next step until all steps are full. Both methods have their pros and cons.
