Volca FM - Can't delete sequences, help!

Post by gusman2x »

Hi, just got my volga FM (to go with beats and keys). I am having trouble with the sequencer. I was trying to write 3 separate sequences to play in sequence.

Firstly, when I held the memory button down and dragged across the sequences I wanted, it would only select two at a time, not the 3 I'd saved.

Secondly, I tried to erase the saved sequences, but I just can't work it out. I assumed (probably wrongly), that I hold FUNC and REC/ERASE, but the 16 sequences on the bottom do not flash (like they do when saving).

Help, I'm going nuts!

Thanks

Gus

OK, so I think I've found a workaround. I load the sequence, clear the pattern, then write over it. Is the the only way?

Thanks

(I'll call sequences "patterns")

You can play 2 or more patterns in sequence, but they need to be adiacent.
To do that, held the Memory button down, then select the first and the last pattern you want to play.
Example: select pattern 2 and pattern 5 to play in sequence patterns 2,3,4 and 5.

Important: many Volca FM features are disabled when you play a sequence of patterns. "Delete pattern" is one of them.

To erase one saved pattern, press Memory button to check you only selected a single pattern to play. Then press together Func button + Keyboard button 16. The pattern LED will briefly flash.
If you need to restore the pattern, Press again Func button + Keyboard button 16.
To store the empty pattern, press Memory button + a Keyboard number button.
