So far we have created a single sequence with a single pattern. Let's complement this with more sequences with different patterns. By default ZynSeq has 4 pads. Open the Pad Editor and move the cursor to the first time slot of the second sequence, "A2". Note the bottom left corner shows a number. This is the index of the pattern that will be added when you short press ENTER or touch the pattern grid on the touchscreen. Use the BACK encoder to change the pattern selection to 2 or press on the bottom left of the touchscreen then adjust the value in the topbar. Add this pattern to sequence A2. Bold press ENTER or press and hold pattern 2 on the touchscreen to show the pattern editor. Add a new melody to the pattern then short press BACK or touch top left and select the back icon from the topbar to return to the Pad Editor view. Repeat for the other two pads then use the context menu to show ZynPad.

So far we have edited a single pattern in one pad's sequence. Let's complement this with more sequences with different patterns. By default ZynSeq has 4 pads. User BACK and SELECT encoders to selecte each pad and bold press SELECT to show its Pattern Editor. Add a new melody to the each pattern then short press BACK or touch top left and select the back icon from the topbar to return to ZynPad.

All 4 coloured pads now show an icon indicating they all have patterns in their sequences. Start pad A1: see its button turn green and hear its sequence loop.

By default sequences are in group A. To change the group of a sequence, select "Group" from the ZynPad context menu. The group may be set to A-Z. Odd groups (A,C,E, etc.) are represented with purple background. Even groups (B,D,F, etc.) are represented with blue background. This allow a degree of separation in ZynPad without overloading with excessive quantity of colours.

 

Use the BACK and SELECT encoders to highlight a pad or touch it with the touchscreen. Use the context menu to change the group to 'B'. The pad name changes to B3 and its background colour changes to blue. Repeat to change A4 to B4.

Within the pad editor move the cursor to pad A3. Use the context menu to change the group to 'B'. The pad name changes to B3 and its background colour changes to blue. Repeat to change A4 to B4.

New term: A Sync point is a location within playback at which sequences will loop and / or group sequential play will change to another sequence. Sync points are synonymous with bars in traditional music notation. See section on time signature.

A ''Sync point'' is a location within playback at which sequences will loop and / or group sequential play will change to another sequence. Sync points are synonymous with bars in traditional music notation. See section on time signature.

Remember, sequences are indexed by number, 1, 2, 3, etc. and Groups by letter, A, B, C, etc. Sequence labels consist of the group letter and sequence number, e.g. A1.
