Since every step generates a note on message, then in order to create rhythmic sequences, it's necessary to set UCA to 0 on the steps that one wishes to be silent. Is that correct? Also, my sequences, when I stop on a step that has a UCA set to something other than 0, do not decay. The sound on which the sequence stopped continues until I either restart the sequencer, or stop the sequencer again on a step that has UCA set to 0. Does this make sense? I am sure I am missing some basic. Playing with the VCA envelope settings didn't seem to help. I appreciate your posts!
