PROGRAMMING PROCUSSION
Trigger Tempo, Pitch Wheel
■
By setting the
Global Trigger
Tempo to MIDI
Clocks, the Trigger
Tempo rate will
follow along with a
sequencer or drum
machine.
■
Modulation
destinations followed
by a number (Pitch 1,
Pitch 2, etc.) affect only
one layer. Destinations
without numbers affect
all layers.

Enable must be
turned On for each
Stack or the Pitch
Wheel will not work!
27) Using Trigger Tempo. Trigger Tempo is a modulation source which
increases from zero when your playing speed exceeds a preset tempo.
First of all, go into the Master menu and turn to the Global Trigger
Tempo screen. Set it to 150 beats-per-minute as shown below.
GLOBAL TR TEMPO
150 BPM
Go back to the Edit menu, Stack Modulation screen and route Trigger
Tempo to control the Pitch as shown below. Now start playing,
slowly at first, then faster. Notice that the pitch stays constant until
you play faster than 150 BPM, then it begins to increase. That's how
it works!
MODULATION 3
Trig->Pitch +100
Further your experiments by using Trigger Tempo as a switch source
to switch in different instrument layers depending on your playing
speed. As an example, copy Stack 150, “Rapper Snare” to a User
location (in a Default Kit). Set
Switch Mode

Trigger Rate and play. The Tempo controls which layers are heard.
28) Routing the Pitch Wheel to Control … Pitch . This is something that
you might want to do either at the Stack level (to affect only one Stack)
or at the Kit level (to affect all the Stacks in the Kit). For now let's
control the pitch of the entire Kit. The Modulation 1 and 2 parameters
affect the entire Kit. Simply set the Modulation 1 (or 2) screen as
shown below and
voilà , Pitch Wheel control. Incidentally, the setting
of +114 will produce a pitch bend interval of a perfect fifth. See the
Pitch Modulation Interval Charts (in the Reference Section) for more
information.
