How do I use parameter locks?

Parameter locks let you change a synth parameter on specific steps, creating evolving sequences and variation within a single pattern.

Creating a Parameter Lock

1. 1.Hold down a sequencer step
2. 2.Turn any of the four encoders to adjust its parameter
3. 3.Release the step to confirm

The locked parameter will only affect that specific step when it plays. You can lock multiple parameters on the same step by repeating this process with different encoders.

Working with Parameter Locks

To see all parameter locks in your sequence, hold Bar and turn the white encoder to "shape." This smooths parameter transitions between locked steps.

You can also add step components to parameter locks themselves. Hold Shift, select steps with parameter locks, then press a natural key for the component type and accidental keys for values. Use the "Skip Parameter Lock" component to make a parameter lock play only every Nth repetition.

Clearing Parameter Locks

Hold Bar and press M2 to clear all parameter locks from the current pattern while keeping your notes intact. Press M4 to clear everything including notes and parameters.
