9. SEQUENCER BASICS
9.1. Play a pattern
To start playback of the current Sequencer pattern, press the Play/Pause button. If the
selected pattern is empty, read the section about how to load a pattern [p.104].
If the Play button flashes quickly, that means the MiniBrute 2 is not set to Internal sync
mode. Press the Stop button and then press the Sync button until the LED next to INT is lit.
Then press the Play button again.
9.1.1. Pause the pattern
To pause playback temporarily, press the Play/Pause button. When you're ready to resume
playback, press it again. The pattern will resume playback from where you paused it.
This is different from using the Stop button, which resets the Sequencer to the beginning of
the pattern.
9.1.2. Restart the pattern
There are two ways to restart a pattern from the beginning:
• Hold Shift and press the Play button. The pattern will start from the beginning
without stopping, quantized to the nearest step (as determined by the Time
Division setting).
• Press the Stop button, followed by the Play button. This brings the music to a full
stop for a moment, of course.
9.1.3. Pad override
When a pattern is playing and a pad is pressed (or an external MIDI note is received), notes
played by the Pitch track will not be heard until all pads are released. If one of the other
tracks is set to the Velocity type or the Pressure type, they will not play either.
