Fantastic best teaching of an instrument I've seen in a long time, thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for the compliment and the support! I’m glad this was helpful.
Best video I’ve seen so far explaining this sequencer, thank you !
Thank you. I’m glad that this helped. I like the fact that you can run two sequences within the same sound module. So cool. Thank you for the comment and thank you for supporting the channel!
Just got one today and this was exactly what I needed. Thank you!
You’re welcome. Thank you for tuning in. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for supporting the channel!
Very well explained - thank you so much. 😊

Legend. Big help

really helpful - thank you!

Awesome channel man. Thank you for the info. Quick question though Will, this sequence midi off grid or is it all locked to the steps?
I’m thinking of using this as a brain sequencer for four more of my other synthesizers. Do you think it would be good for that?
The JX-08 does try to snap notes to the grid. I’ve had success with syncopated rhythms in the past but it can be a little inconsistent. It definitely works well as a master clock. I’ll experiment with more off-the-grid sequencing to see if I can achieve more consistent results. I will definitely let you know what I come up with. Thank you so much for the question and the support!
thanks for the tutorial, do you know if there's a way for the recording to wait for 1st note, or at least count in before it starts running? it's kind of hard to time when you try to record arped track (which is the only way to record as far as I see)
I was just asking myself the same question the other day. As far as I know, there is no way to start live recording on the first note. The closest I’ve come to doing this is using an external sequencer with a count in feature (a good example is the Keystep Pro by Arturia). Midi sequencing a sequencer to a sequencer seems convoluted but it’s the only method that seems to work for this device. I will keep trying and let you know what I come up with. Thank you for the excellent question.
Thanks for the breakdown! I’m looking at a used one and noticed in the manual that their is a menu option for ‘random patch’… do you know if that’s a randomly generated patch vs randomly selected, pulling from saved patches?
Another good question. The “rnd” menu option generates random patterns for the sequencer not so much patches. From here you can change the patches, add effects, change notes, etc. Does that help?
@@dncmusic8070 absolutely, I must have misread that. I am a bit less excited about that info but still an interesting synth! Thanks (rewatched & I missed that part 13:37 )
Appreciate it! I cannot get part A and B to record a sequence together. It will only record one, I'm not sure what the deal is
Clarifying question. Are you trying to record the same pattern on parts A and B or are you trying to record different patterns on A and B and have them play back at the same time? Another question. Have you seen my video on dual layer patterns?

Let me know if this helps. Thank you for the question and the support!
@@dncmusic8070 I did yes! Watched that after I posted this haha. I realized that there are 2 separate ways to enable parts A/B. I was trying to change parts within the sequencer not back at the home screen
Is it possible to run the sequencer with the arpeggiator? Thanks!
Sorry for the delayed response. Yes you can. I typically run the arpeggiator and the sequence on separate parts of the unit. Part A for the sequence and part B for the arpeggiator (or vice-versa). This allows you to run effects and modulations independent of their respective layers/parts. Does this help? Let me know and thank you for the question 😀!
how can i save my pattern ?
My apologies for the delay. While in sequencer mode, press and hold the pattern button that aligns with the save location. For example, press and hold button 9 to save sequence 9. Remember, you have to be in sequencer mode in order to do this. I will more than likely explain this via a TH-cam short. Thank you so much for the question and thank you for supporting the channel!
