How's the sequencer?

Post by Fa-tulist »

I hope, that the next reviewer would briefly touch the sequencer too. I need to see, what you can do with the sequencer before buying.

How many tracks?
Transpose?
Midi?
CV?

From the video demos and specs I've seen:

- Step or real-time recording
- Polyphonic
- Sequence is one track, saved with the patch
- Not clear to me whether or not that if you have a split with two patches (lower and upper) loaded in Performance mode, two concurrent sequencer tracks are available to play; but so far, the demos have only shown one track
- Up to 64 steps (4 bars)
- Yes, you can transpose a running sequence
- Modulations/FX/motion parameters can be recorded
- Choose/change first step last step within a sequence on the fly
- Forwards, backwards, forwards/backwards, shuffle and random playback modes
- Real-time control of gate and shuffle
- Sequence out to MIDI or CV/GATE
