TYPE and VALUE
A chain element can be one of six different types: a scratch
preset, a patch change for MIDI bank A, a patch change for
MIDI bank B, an arrange preset, a loop, an end of chain element.
To define a chain step using a scratch preset, you need to select
the SCRATCH option in the MODE parameter and then the
number of the scratch preset in the VALUE parameter.
Often you will want to change only a patch within a scratch
preset but maintain all the other segment information. To do this,
create a step and select PROG A or PROG B in the MODE
parameter immediately after the step in which the scratch preset
appears. Then set the VALUE to the number of the patch you
want to play. When you come to this step in the chain, only
patch change information will be sent to the synth and every-
thing else will stay unaffected. This way you don't have to
create a completely different scratch preset if you only want to
change a sound.
There may be a situation in which you will want to repeat sev-
eral steps in a chain. Use the LOOP element in the MODE
parameter to do this. Then set the value of the loop for the
number of steps backward in the chain to which it will jump
when you come to the loop element in the chain. For example, if
you create a LOOP at step number 5 in the chain, and set it's
value to 3, when you reach step 5, it will activate step 2. You will
then be able to cycle through steps 2, 3 and 4. Upon reaching
step 5, you will be sent back to step 2 again. Looping is infinite
and will continue until you change the chain number or exit.
In order to avoid confusion it is recommended that you include
an END element as the very last step of your chain. The value
parameter here is set for 1 and cannot be changed because it is
irrelevant.
