RPE2 has 2 different sequencer engines, Grid and Euclidean.

This is an 8 track Grid Sequencer. Each track contains 8 grid blocks.

Playback order of the grid blocks will be controlled by the block chainer unit.

Signal Path
Each track consists of 8 grid block units.

Track On/Off
If Track is off, MIDI note outputed of this track will be muted.

Playback Direction
 >: Forward, e.g. 1 > 2 > 3 > 4...

 <: Backward, e.g. 4 > 3 > 2 > 1....

 ?: Random, e.g. 2 > 1 > 1 > 3... (same step can be triggered multiple times)

 ??: Random2, e.g. 3 > 1 > 2 > 4... (every step will be triggered once in random
order)

Step Size
Sets the step size of each grid block (1~8)

Dice Button
Left click = Randomizes the step onoff states, Right click = initializes the step states

Arrow Button
Shifts the grid states left/right
Page Button
Changes the page (grid block 1-4 / 5-8)

Master Chainer
Selects the master chainer unit for this track

Pattern Snapshot
You can create 8 pattern snapshots per track.

You can copy a snapshot via drag and drop to another snapshot button as illustrated
below.

Track MIDI Note

Track MIDI Channel

Output MIDI channel for this track
Block chainer is a sequencer for controlling the playback chain order of grid blocks.

There are 8 block chainer units available.

Playback Direction
 >: Forward, e.g. 1 > 2 > 3 > 4...

 <: Backward, e.g. 4 > 3 > 2 > 1....

 ><1: For/Back1, e.g. 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 3 > 2 > 1 > 2...

 ><2: For/Back2, e.g. 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 4 > 3 > 2 > 1 > 1 > 2...

 ?: Random, e.g. 2 > 1 > 1 > 3... (same step can be triggered multiple times)

 ??: Random2, e.g. 3 > 1 > 2 > 4... (every step will be triggered once in random
order)

Playback Speed
/4 ~ x4

Step Size
Sets the step size of the chainer unit (2~128)
Pattern Snapshot
You can create 8 pattern snapshots per track.

Randomize Step states

You can create 8 pattern snapshots per track.

Step Snapshot
You can set a different track snapshot per step.

E.g.

If you set the chainer as illustrated above, the grid blocks will be triggered as such:

Block1(snapshot A) > Block2(snapshot C) > Block3(snapshot D) >

Block4(snapshot A)

If a step snapshot is not specified for a certain block, the current active step will be
triggered for that step, in this case, the step snapshot of step 1 and 4 are not specified,
thus snapshot A will be triggered for steps 1 and 4. The step snapshot for step 3 and 4
are specified, so the corresponding snapshot will be triggered for that step.
You can set velocity, gate, probability, timing shift and roll count per step.

 Velocity: Velocity level (0 ~ 127)

 Gate: Gate factor (0 ~ 100%)

 Pitch: Pitch shift (+/- 24st)

 Probability: Trigger probability (0 ~ 100%)

 Shift: Timing shift

 Roll: Step roll count (0 ~ 8)

You can toggle grid on/off by right clicking each slider.

This an 8 track Euclidean Sequencer. You can set the step size, pulse, rotation, running
speed, velocity, gate and probability per sequencer unit. And you also can modulate
these parameters by LFO/Sample&Hold and Macro controllers.
Steps, Pulse and Rotate
In the case to the left picture, step size is 4, pulse count is 1 and
rotation is 0.

Steps: total number of steps in the circle

Pulse: number of active step in the circle

Rotate: rotates the euclidean pattern

E.g.

In this case trigger pattern is like this

ON > OFF > OFF > OFF

If we set the Rotate parameter to 1, the pattern be as follows:

OFF > ON > OFF > OFF

When turning on the Chord Mode button for a specific track, the track will enter Chord
Mode. In this mode, you can trigger a max of 5 notes at one time.
You can edit chord notes using the Chord Edit Panel.

Chord Generator

You can also generate chord notes by pressing “Generate” button.

Chord Note Shift Buttons

 -12: Shifts the current chord notes minus one octave

 -1: Shifts the current chord notes minus one semitone

 Root Inv: Makes the current root note one octave higher

 +1: Shifts the current chord notes up one semitone

 +12: Shifts the current chord notes up one octave

Chord Notes Input

You can set chord notes using a MIDI keyboard.

When turning the keyboard button ON as picture above,you can then press your MIDI
keyboard keys to generate notes.

The Pitch, Velocity, Gate, Probability parameters also have “S” function button. When
this is set to ON, these parameters will enter Step Mode. With this mode, you can set
parameter values for each step.

Edit Panel
When the Step Mode is engaged, you can also click the Step Mode
icon as pictured to the left. The Step Edit panel will now appear at the
bottom of the plugin window.
In Step Mode, you can set different parameter values for step. Thus you can create a
melody pattern like the one below.

Master Clock

Sets the Master Clock speed. Each euclidean

sequencer unit has it’s own clock generator, so
they can run independent of the Master Clock or
Local Clock.

Clock Type

- : Normal note (1/4, 1/8, 1/16...)

T : Triplet note (1/4T, 1/8T, 1/16T...)

D : Dottedl note (1/4D, 1/8D, 1/16D...)

Re-Start

Force re-starts the sequencer’s clocks

Re-Sync

Locks the sequencer’s clocks to the Host’s

(DAW’s) song position.
Master Velocity and Gate

Each euclidean unit has own velocity and gate controls, so they can use either the
master value or local value

Swing

Swing amount (-100 ~ +100%)

You can set the Swing amount here. You also have control over which Euclidean units
are influenced by the swing amount by toggling the small colored numbers representing
each unit On/Off.

Humanize

Humanize amount (0 ~ 100%)

This adds a small randomness to the Velocity, Gate and Trigger timing values.

You also have control over which Euclidean units are influenced by the Humanize
amount by toggling the small colored numbers representing each unit On/Off.

Reset

This sets the time before the sequencer restarts the sequence from the first step.
There are 4 LFO/Sample&Hold units, 4 Macro knobs and 4 Macro buttons are available.

These are used for the parameter modulation.

Modulation Assign

Modulatable parameters have small circle icons beside each

parameter. Each modulation source has own cross icon which can
be drag and dropped to a destination parameter as indicated by the
small circle icons.

Once you make a modulation assignment, the small circle will

appear as follows:

The number indicates the modulation source for this assignment. You can hold the left
mouse button down and move the mouse to assign the modulation depth. This is
indicated by the white line filling part of the circle. You can also create or clear a
modulation assignment by right-clicking the small circle icon and selecting “Clear”.
LFO

Sync Mode
 Free: 0.01 to 20Hz

 Note: 16/1 to 1/64

 Triplet: 16/1T to 1/64

 Dotted: 16/1D to 1/64D

Buttons

Bipolar: When this button is active, the output value range will become -1 to +1
Invert: Inverts the LFO outputs
Square: Squares the LFO outputs
Saturate: Saturates the LFO outputs

Knobs
Rate: Sets the speed of the LFO unit

Phase: Sets the start phase position of the LFO unit

Offset: Sets the offset level

Jitter: Mixing white noise into LFO outputs

Level: Sets the output level

Sample&Hold

Sample&Hold unit has an internal noise generator.

It captures the noise value and outputs holding values.

The capturing interval is defined by the Rate knob.

Mode1/Mode2

 Mode1: No interpolation between the captured values

 Mode2: Linear interpolation between the captured values

Smooth: Sets the smoothness of the output signal

There are 4 macro knobs and macro buttons available.

The output signal of macro knob is -1 ~ +1.

The output signal of macro button is 0 or 1.

Macro Button

Macro buttons have two modes. You can change the mode by Right-Clicking their text.

 Momentary: As long as this is pressed down, it will output

signal value 1, otherwise 0.

 Toggle: Every time the button is pressed, its state changes.

If the Scale FX is active, the incoming MIDI notes can be re-mapped based on the FX
setting. There are 2 types of Scale FX available.

Power Button

Turns the Scale FX On/Off

“TP > Scale” / “Scale > TP”

Processes the order of Scale FX and Transpose function.

If the Transpose is set to precede the Scale FX, then the result will always be in scale.

On the other hand, If the transpose is set to follow the Scale FX, the result can be
outside the scale notes.
Scale FX Type1 / Type2

You can change the Scale FX to Type1/Type2 with this button.

Type1

In Scale Type1, the incoming MIDI notes will be

re-mapped to the nearest active note. For example
in the case to the left, the MIDI note C# will be
mapped to C, D will be mapped to D#, E will be
mapped to F and so on...

Type2

In Scale Type2, the incoming MIDI notes will be

replaced based on the FX note setting. In the case to
the left, MIDI note C will be replaced by G, C# will be
muted, D will be replaced by F, E will be replaced with
B and so on...

Global Octave and Transpose

Oct

Increases or decreases the octave of the MIDI notes +/- 2 octaves.

TP

Transpose the MIDI notes +/- 24 semitones

MIDI Recorder

You can record the sequencer output and create MIDI files with the MIDI recorder.

After recording, you can drag & drop the resulting MIDI file to your host MIDI/instrument
track.

This recorder captures multi-track recordings, so it captures both the master MIDI
output(CH1) and each track output(CH2~9).

Recording Preparation

1, Make sure the host sequencer is idle

2, Sets the recording bar length

3, Activate the Arm Recording button

The recording will start as soon as the host

clock is started.

Recorded File

After the recording is complete, file icons will

appear as pictured to the left. These icons
represent recorded midi data.

You can drag & drop them to your host’s

MIDI/instrument track as individual MIDI files.
You can assign sequencer control commands to MIDI notes on your controller.

You can create note maps for each sequencer engine.

Control Commands for Grid Sequencer

 Track Snapshot: Changes the snapshot of corresponding track

 Track Mute: Mutes the track output

 Track Solo: Mutes all tracks except this track output

 Track All Snapshot: Changes snapshot of all tracks at once

Example

In this case, “Track1 Snap1” is assigned to

MIDI note C2. So when the plugin receives a
C2 note change, Track1’s snapshot will be
changed to 1. And when receives a C#2 note
change, Track1’s snapshot will be changed to
2.
Control Commands for Euclidean Sequencer

 Track Mute: Mutes the corresponding track output

 Track Solo: Mutes all track output except this track

Mute

When turning the mute button On, the plugin’s output will be muted

MIDI Thru

When turning this On, the incoming MIDI input will be mixed with the plugin’s MIDI
output.
