10. TRACK RELATED PARAMETERS
Here follows a description of all the parameters you can use to change the character and behavior of the
track’s sound.
10.1 PARAMETER EDITING
The
TRACK PARAMETER
knobs are used to change the values of the track parameters.
10.1.1 PARAMETER VALUE JUMP
Pressing
[FUNC]
while editing specific parameters makes the parameter values jump to appropriate
positions. For example, PITCH jumps in semitones.
10.1.2 PARAMETER REVERT FUNCTION
If you have changed a parameter setting, you can press
[BACK]
to revert that change to the parameters
previous setting. This function has a time-out function, meaning that, after you adjusted the parameter,
you have roughly three seconds to perform the revert operation before the change is permanent. Chang-
es made by setting parameter locks are revertible as long as you keep the
[TRIG]
key pressed.
10.1.3 CONTROL ALL
If you press and hold
[TRACK]
and use the
TRACK PARAMETER
knobs to change a parameter setting,
this change affects this parameter in all the tracks in the pattern. You can also use the Parameter Revert
function on Control All operations.
The Control All operation is also available for the track LEVEL/PAN and also for the
PUNCH and GATE settings.
10.2 MACHINES
Model:Cycles has six different FM-based machines that each focus on a specific type of sound. Any
machine can be assigned to any track and can be parameter locked. Press
[MACHINES]
to open the
MACHINES menu. Here you can browse the list of the different machines and assign them to the tracks.
Use the
LEVEL/DATA
knob to navigate and select the machine you want to assign. There are four machine
specific parameters,
COLOR
,
SHAPE,
SWEEP,
and
CONTOUR
, that affects the sound in different ways
depending on what machine you have selected.
