Programming a sequence using different note durations, as well as programming holds and rests.
(synthesizer playing a tune)…- [Narrator] In this movie, we're going to take advantage…of some of the more advanced features…inside the Moog Mother-32's sequencer,…namely the ability to set the duration of each note,…and also to add an accent to it.…I set up a patch earlier,…(synthesizer notes)…that's meant to be played as very short notes,…but since I want (two short notes)…the length that I have a note held to make a difference,…I'm going to change the sustain switch to be on.…So now it will pay attention…to how long I have a note depressed.…
(notes sound for length button is pressed)…Again, I can use my controller keyboard,…(plays keyboard)…and I prefer to use that because it's easier…for me to keep separate in my mind,…the notes are being entered here,…the sequence is being edited here.…The pattern I want to enter goes something like this…I hold this for four beats (sustained note)…and briefly go (three notes)…rest for four,…hold for four, (sustained note)…rest for two, (three notes)…hold for four, (sustained note)…
