3. STEP EDIT
To create a more elaborate pattern, you can edit individual steps of a
pattern that you’ve recorded or a pattern that’s saved in the electribe
sampler.
You can readjust the note number or modify the gate time.
A phrase pattern consists of the following five types of data.
This data can be individually edited for each step.
Trigger:
Whether a note is sounded at that step
Note number:
The pitch that is sounded
Gate time:
How long it is sounded
Velocity:
How strongly it is sounded
Motion Sequence:
How the value of a knob or other controller is
changed.
If you want to save a pattern that you’ve edited, you must
write it before selecting another pattern or turning off the
power.
STEP NUMBER .............................................................. [1.01... 4.16]
Selects the step that you’ll edit. When you press a trigger pad to
specify a step directly, the trigger on/off status also changes.
This step that’s selected for editing is called the “target step.” Turn
the Value knob to select the target step.
At this time the step key corresponding to the target step will light.
If the pattern length is 2 or greater, you can also specify it by press-
ing a step button. If you press the trigger pad of an empty target
step, note number C4 is entered.
TIP
You can edit up to step 4.16. The maximum number of steps
that are actually played depends on the length, beat, and last
step settings.
TIP
To change the target step by units of a Length, hold down the
Shift button and turn the Value knob.
NOTE ...........................................................................[---, C-1...G 09]
Specifies the note number of the target step. You can record up to
four note numbers in each target step.
You can change this in steps of an octave by holding down the Shift
button and turning the Value knob.
You can also change the target step by pressing a trigger pad.
TIP
If the display indicates “NOTE” pressing a step button does
not change the trigger on/off setting.
TIP
Even if you change the note number of a step whose trigger is
off, that step does not produce sound until you turn the trigger
on.
GATE TIME ..................................................................... [ 00...96, TIE]
This is the gate time length of each step. For example, if the gate time
is “96,” the duration of the note is exactly as long as a single step.
TIP
If you specify “TIE,” the oscillator, EG, and modulation are not
retriggered if the next step has the same note.
TIP
If the display indicates “GATE TIME,” pressing a step key does
not change the trigger on/off setting.
TIP
Even if you change the gate time of a step whose trigger is off,
that step does not produce sound until you turn the trigger on.
VELOCITY ...........................................................................[001...127]
Specifies the strength of the note.
OSC EDIT MOTION .....................................................[Off, 000...127]
Specifies the OSC Edit value within the motion sequence data.
4. PART UTILITY
COPY PART
This lets you copy the sound and sequence data (including the
motion sequence) of the currently selected part to another part.
TIP
If this copy operation would result in more than 24 motion
sequences, the motion sequence is not copied.
COPY PART SOUND
This lets you copy only the sound data of the currently selected part
to another part.
TIP
Step data and motion sequence data is not copied.
CLEAR SEQUENCE
This lets you delete the sequence data (trigger, note number, gate
time) of the selected part.
CLEAR MOTION
Deletes the motion sequence data of the selected part.
