Endless Sequencer

Newbie here..
Really loving my OP1 and slowly starting to find my feet. Hoping someone can help me with a question regarding the Endless Sequencer.

When I choose a synth or drum engine and start to lay down the tones within the endless sequencer (holding shift) the sounds are slightly different to ones I selected. Why is this?

Newbie too…
I unfortunately can’t answer you directly but have you seen these guides?:

IMHO, they (at least the OP-Z one that I’m reading) worth reading.
Very complete and well explained.

Thanks, will take a look.

Got the guide, very helpful but doesn’t have the answer!!!

Is your LFO on ? (Press synth and then track 4 to toggle )

It could be that you’re not triggering your sequence back with the C key.

Try this - make a one note (either synth or drum) sequence, eg a bunch of A notes. Stop recording the endless seq and now trigger it with the C key. You’ll hear the correct pitch of what you entered when you trigger with the C key.

Think of it like a sampler that assigns the root note as middle C (Reasons NN-XT sampler does this)

To play back the sequence at the pitch/key you programmed it at, play the C. You can then move up or down the keyboard to transpose it.

This might be what is happening.

Cheers, will try this.

Cheers for your help. It’s when I actually lay down the tones they are pitched higher than when selected. When I play back with the C key I get the exact higher pitched sound???

You should get the original pitches you programmed when you play the C key. If you transpose the keyboard up or down one or more octaves and play the C key, your sequence should also get transposed up or down by 1 or more octaves.

If you want your sequence to get transposed up by a semi-tone then play the C# to do that. Likewise down by a semi-tone then the B will do that.

Basically whatever your programmed sequence is, the C will always play it back at its original pitch, or if you transpose the keyboard, it will play it back one or more octaves higher or lower.
