The Idea Palette

4 sequencers, each giving independent play direction, tempo and pattern length:

• UltraSteps, Note Length and Velocity allow quick access to sequence settings. UltraSteps can be applied to Pitch, the new Rush feature, or any MIDI Continous Controller.
• Velocity, Play Direction and Sustain Toggles
• Heads Up Display shows user Octave, Pattern, Modulation channels 1 and 2, Row Position, Play Position and Octave Base Frequency.
• Patterns hold 1-16 rows of Notes and Modulation values which play along with the Velocity, Timing and UltraStep maps. Major and Minor Rows give a timing reference throughout the pattern.
• Channel Element Mutes Selectively Mute Notes, Modulation Data, Time, Velocity or UltraStep triggers to derive new music from your existing pattern.
• Pitch Offset Wheel Endlessly rotates fully through 10 octaves offsetting your notes by semitones. Above and to the left of the Pitch Offset Wheel is the MIDI Device Selection and MIDI Channel. Quickly try out new voices or synths without accessing a menu.
