Step Sequencer - Moog Sub 37 User Manual

STEP SEQUENCER BASICS
With the arpeggiator disengaged (ON button is darkened), turn the PATTERN knob to REC. The next
key you press will erase any existing step sequence data and enter a note for step 1. The LCD display
will also show REC 01 / 01, indicating that you have recorded step 1 of a (so far) 1-step sequence. Each
successive key press (or REST) will advance you to the next step number for up to 64 steps.
After entering a note, pressing the TIE button will tie (connect) your previous note to the next note you
play. If you play a different note from the previous one using a tie, you will hear the new pitch without
triggering the envelopes. If you play the same note as the previous one using a tie, you will effectively
double the length of the note.
NOTE: With Glide set to ON and the LEGATO button illuminated, the glide effect will only occur between
the tied notes.
You can also create a tie between two different notes by pressing a second note before releasing the
previous note. This shortcut will not work if you are in DUO MODE.
After recording your step sequence, turn the PATTERN knob to SEQ. Then press the Arpeggiator ON
button. Now you can play back your step sequence in any transposition by pressing a key. The key you
press will be the starting note of your step sequence.
NOTE: In the GLOBAL MENU, if you set REF NOTE to be MID C, then pressing Middle C will play back
your step sequence exactly as you recorded it. Playing C# will play back your sequence a half step up.
Playing the Bb below Middle C will play your sequence a whole step lower.
STEP SEQUENCING IN DUO MODE
With DUO MODE engaged, you can choose (per step) whether
to enter one or two notes together. When two notes are played
simultaneously, the sequencer captures two separate pitches.
The KB CONTROL settings determine which oscillator follows
which note.
When you play the sequence back you will hear both notes on steps that were recorded with two
notes, and both oscillators playing together on steps in which only one note was pressed.
During playback, if you hold down two notes, all of the recorded duo notes will play back normally. Any
single recorded notes, however, will follow your two keys as dictated by KB CTRL settings. This allows you
to play real-time pitches along with a step sequence any time there is only one note recorded in a step.
If your step sequence consists only of single notes you can play along with your own melody. If your step
sequence consists only of duo notes, then playing a second key during playback will have no effect.
NOTE: A step sequence can be stored with each preset. This means you can store multiple versions of a
single preset, allowing you to switch between different sequences while continuing with the same sound.
