13.3.1. A hidden feature
There's a hidden feature in the sequencer modulation tracks. The Modulation tracks of
Sequencer A and B share modulation consequences, and you can take advantage of that.
Say you've created a modulation track for sequencer A, which plays an eight-step sequence
that changes the oscillator type on the first and the 4th step. If you switch to sequencer B in
the sixth step, you'll hear that it plays with the oscillator type that was selected in sequence
A on step four. If you change from A to B on the third step of A, B will play with the oscillator
type set in the first step of A.
Freaky idea: If you need more sequences that use the same sound, copy a preset and
record new sequences into this second preset. By switching from the first to the second
preset, you now have access to four sequences with eight modulation tracks. Repeat as
needed.
Note: Most of the tips below can be applied to both the Arpeggiator and the Sequencer.
Tip: The Matrix is both a routing system and a signal mixer, and you can make good use of
that for creating memorable sequences and arpeggios.
13.3.2. First experiment: mixing pitches
By default, the Sequencer will modulate the pitch of the oscillator; no need to use the Matrix
for that. The fun starts when you also connect the LFO to the pitch input. The two control
signals now share the same input to the oscillator and will be summed. If you select a
rectangle wave on the LFO and dial-in a fairly slow LFO speed, the pitch of the sequence
will jump up and down.
Here again, it will make a big difference how you use the Matrix encoder to set the
modulation amount of the matrix points. Adding a small modulation amount will cause the
pitch of the sequence to drop further when the LFO wave is low, or higher when the LFO
wave is high.
Variation:
The effect will become even more interesting when you simultaneously assign the LFO to
the filter cutoff amount. When you set the mod amount to maximum, the LFO will close the
filter completely, and there will be no sound. Parts of your sequence will suddenly be silent.
Selecting different LFO waveforms and modulation amounts will create different silencing
effects.
The Random wave of the LFO is a very versatile modulation source. When you apply it
to the pitch of the oscillator while a sequence is running, the sequence will be transposed
randomly and at unexpected moments when you vary the speed of the LFO. Applying more
modulation will make the pitch stream of the sequence more extreme. Applying negative
modulation (anything below zero is negative) will invert the pitch modulation.
