How does one use this TIE function?
To expand Terry's tip:
In firmware version 1.3.2 and up there are two ways to create ties.
To create ties in step recording mode:
- enable step recording by pressing the record button
- start recording your sequence by playing a note
- when you want to tie a note to the next one, hold the note and press the tie button one or more times, depending on how long you want the note to sustain over several steps.
If for example, you create a note that ties over four steps, by pressing the tie/rest button four times, what yo do is basically creating a note with a long gate period. You can check this by holding the note on the keyboard and touching the gate knob.
You could also start from quick edit mode:
- Enter some notes in the pattern by playing a note on the keyboard and pressing a step to record them in.
- Now activate record mode by pressing the record button
- hold one of the notes (on the keyboard) you entered in the pattern
- press the Tie/Rest several times to tie the note over several steps
To edit the Tie status of a note in an existing pattern, press step edit and press the Tie/Rest button several times. If you need to shorten a Tie, activate step edit mode, select the step where the Tie starts and reduce the gate length of the step using the gate knob.
