Hi guys.
I am currently exploring the possibilities with the Arp/Seq section on the NS4, and i came across a factory preset, where the pattern in the sequencer resets to the first hit of the pattern, every time i completely lift my fingers and place them again. Someone says i get this from enabling KB Sync, but nothing seems to work. Do you guys know how to make the pattern start over from the beginning when i press the keys?
Regards

Re: Making Synth sequencer start when i hit the keys
In this sentence you claim that the sequencer starts from the beginning when the fingers are lifted from the keys (the function is called KB sync).
And here the sequencer doesnt beahve as intended?
Not sure what seems to be the problem, but if the KB sync doesn't work properly, check the setting you find in the Master clock menu. Press and hold down the knob labeled MST CLK. Here you can choose between soft/hard sync. I believ you want the hard sync.
