Sequencer

SEQUENCER  . SQ16 features 16 channel Midi tracks: 13 for drumsounds only (each step always has same note) + 3 channels are note-tracks (each step can contain different notes). Each track features an Accent on/off track for each step. You cannot program velocity-values for each individual step,  only two different values. Each step always uses one of those two values depending on the accent flag. A bit limit for advanced drumming programming. NOTE:  the machine lacks decent Groove Shuffle feature.

PATTERNS Lengths and duration of notes can be to full 100% (one step) or 50% (half step).
Patterns have always 16 steps and can have a step length from 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 to 1/32


MEMORY is organized in 8 blocks, each contains up to 64 patterns, 8 songs, chains . Only one Block can be accessed at a time, so you cannot combine patterns from one block with a pattern that was stored in a different block.  It is possible to save all your data by Midi dump.

SYNC it is possible to synchronize the machine with either:
- Midi clock
- Sync 24 from classic TRXX BOX or tb303
