6.3 Mono Sequencer Mode
Mono or monophonic mode is the most basic of the ONE sequencers and is a useful ‘go-to’ option for getting started and moving quickly. Mono mode has one track and is the ideal mode for performing, transposing melodies and simple lead lines and controlling automation of parameters. The grid columns represent a page of up to 16 steps and the rows represent a piano roll style of musical notes within the current scale. A maximum of 128 steps are available across the 8 pages of the grid. Each step can host one note. Rows can be scrolled up or down to access the notes of each octave available in the range. It is also possible to convert a mono sequencer and its notes to a poly sequencer by simply turning mode from 'Mono' to 'Poly'.

Tapping any pad in a column will select it, or deselect if already active. If a step already exists in the column, the new step will replace it.
Create a tie. Hold 1st [Pad] + tap last [Pad]
Inverted tie. Hold last [Pad] + tap 1st [Pad].
Muting steps. Hold last [Mute] + tap [Pad].
In Mono mode, any existing step notes that are not visible in the current pad range will be indicated by the illumination of the top or bottom row of the grid pads to indicate that notes exist off the grid in the indicated column. Off grid, upper notes are lit white and lower notes are lit red. Scrolling the octave range will bring these notes into view. The octave intervals are also shown when navigating with dimly lit white and red rows.
Mono Sequencer Parameters
The generic details of the sequencer setup, track and step options have been covered elsewhere in this manual. Here is a refresher of the options for the mono mode sequencer with any further details on mono mode specific parameters detailed additionally. The [Page] button will flash to signify that multiple pages exist. Press [Page] to to cycle through the available pages. Hold knob to reset parameter.

Copying / Pasting Steps
The copy / paste options in mono mode allow copying of one or a cluster of steps.
Copying the mono mode steps will also copy their parameter settings. Pasting steps will be applied with the parameter settings and change or set notes relative to their original note position.
Copy one or more steps. Hold [Copy] + tap one or more [Pad]s to copy. Multiple pads can be selected, with the step selection count displayed. Also tied steps can be copied. The first step selected is the anchor reference.
Paste steps. Hold [Paste] + tap [Pad] for the destination step pad to paste into. This pad will be the anchor and the reference for pasting multiple steps simultaneously. Also pastes tied steps.
First pad selected in a cluster of notes will act as the anchor and form the reference.
Paste all notes in their relative positions to the first, anchor pad.
