Index Group Random Weighting Parameters
547
Random Walk Max Step
[1…9]
Sets the largest step that can be taken when Index Pattern
Type is set to 2: Random Walk, as described above. The
value relates to movement of the Index through the Note
Series, not a particular musical interval.
Not available unless Index “Pattern Type” is 2: Random
Walk
.
Random Weighting Parameters
The Random Weighting Parameters are made available
when at least one step in the Index Pattern has multiple
values selected (constituting a “random pool” of values).

For more information, please see “Rhythm Group” on
page 539, “Pools-Weighting Curve” on page 541, and
“Random Weighting Curves” on page 584.
The following table summarizes the effect of the various
Weighting Curves and the Factor field on the choices from
the Index Pattern Pools:
Associated Parameters
Cluster Mode
[0, 1]
Sets the way that clusters affect the advancement through
the Index Pattern. When set to Multi, a cluster will advance
by as many steps as notes in the cluster, depending on other
internal settings.
0: Single-1 Step per Cluster
Each time a note, cluster of notes, or group of drum notes is
generated one Index Pattern Value will be chosen for the
resulting note or cluster of notes, after which the Index
Pattern advances to the next value. For example, a cluster of
six notes will all be generated from the next six adjacent
notes in the Note Series (or Drum Pattern) and advance the
pattern by one to the next step. In other words, when a
cluster is about to be generated, the index in the Note Series
will first move an amount determined by the previous
Step’s Index Pattern Value; then all the notes in the cluster
will be generated from adjacent indexes, after which the
Pattern will again advance by one. This is useful for creating
clusters of notes which jump around following the Index
Pattern exactly; the bottom note of each cluster essentially
follows the path that would be taken by a cluster size of 1,
with the effect that cluster size has no effect on how quickly
the Index Pattern moves through the Note Series and Phase
(or Drum Pattern). Also useful for randomizing Drum
Patterns, since it will cause the index into the Drum Pattern
to jump around and not move forward in a linear fashion.
Index Pattern= 2, Cluster Size = 6
1: Multi-1 Step For Each Note In Cluster
When the internal GE parameter “Advance Mode” is 0: In-
dependent:
For every note in a cluster or group of drum notes generated
simultaneously, a separate Index Pattern Value will be
chosen after which the Index Pattern advances to the next
value. For example, a cluster of six notes will be generated
with the next six Index Pattern Values (with a net advance of
six steps). This means that each note in the cluster will not
necessarily be the adjacent note in the Note Series (or Drum
Pattern), but a certain distance from the previous note as
specified by the pattern value. This is useful for creating
clusters of notes with different voicings, or randomizing
Drum Patterns in a manner different than above. Another
effect of this is that after each cluster, the next cluster starts
where the previous cluster left off, in effect advancing
through the Phase and the Note Series (or Drum Pattern)
much more quickly.
Index Pattern= 2, Cluster Size= 6
When the internal GE parameter “Advance Mode” is 1:
Lock (R) or one of the Drum Lock options:
The Index Pattern is using the other pattern’s index;
therefore, it is not possible for it to advance with each note.
So it works slightly differently: the Index Value at the
current step is used for each note in the cluster. So a cluster
of six notes will be generated with the same distance
between each index, as specified by the current Index
Pattern Value. This value also indicates where the next
cluster will start. For example, with an Index Pattern value
of {3}, a cluster of 3 notes will have the indexes spaced by 3
and the next cluster will start 3 indexes away from the last
generated note.
Index Pattern = {3 2 1}, Cluster Size = 3
Advance Mode: 1: Lock (R), Cluster Mode: 1: Multi
When the “GE Type” (
p.529) is 0: Generated-Riff,
setting this to 1: Multi will have no effect unless there is
a Cluster Pattern containing values of more than just 1.
When the “GE Type” is 2: Generated-Drum, setting this
to 1: Multi will have no effect unless at least one Drum
Pattern has the “[c] (clusters)” button turned on in the
Phase Pattern and there is a Cluster Pattern containing
values of more than just 1.
