Choose the clock source
Manufacturer documentedWith the sequencer stopped, press FUNCTION, then BACK + WRITE/NEXT together. Select 1 for INT, 2 for MIDI, 3 for USB or 4 for TRIG within the short edit window. The guide says changes save after about three seconds without further changes.
Use INT when no external clock is connected. Clock-rate selectors are separate from the source selectors; do not mistake changing the rate for changing the input.
Pattern notes and timing
Manufacturer documentedPattern writing has separate pitch and timing stages. TIME MODE enters notes, ties and rests into the rhythm; the manual says this mode does not audition sound.
To audition the entered pitches, use PITCH MODE and WRITE/NEXT. After entering notes and timing, FUNCTION returns to normal mode and START/STOP plays the pattern. Avoid CLEAR unless you mean to erase a pattern.
