4.7.3.2 ACCENT & SLIDE
Accent and Slide are entered in the same way as pitch. Press and hold a
STEP BUTTON and press
[ACCENT] and/or [SLIDE] to enter the respective data. For example, to accent step 1 press STEP BUTTON
1 + [ACCENT] . The accent indicator will remain lit while the step button is held to indicate an accent has
been programmed.
4.7.3.3 TRANSPOSE
Since the chromatic keyboard is only one octave, a step can be transposed down one octave and up one
or two octaves. When transposing
down the [DOWN LED] is lit. When transposing up one octave the [UP
LED] is lit. When transposing up two octaves the [UP LED] blinks.
The keyboard has two "C" keys. The low C key can be transposed [UP] (3) octaves as the note will first shift to
the higher C' key.
To Transpose a pattern step press STEP [UP]/[DOWN] . For example, to transpose step 4 up
one octave press STEP BUTTON 4 + [UP] .
4.7.3.4 MODULATION ENVELOPE TRIGGERS
The Avalon has an extra modulation envelope that can be triggered on any step in a similar way to accents
and slides. To trigger the modulation envelope press
STEP BUTTON + [ENV] . For example, to add a
trigger to step 1 press STEP BUTTON 1 + [ENV] .
