Duration (Dur)
Duration changes the duration of each MIDI note. The original durations of the notes in the
sequence are multiplied by the selected percentage. 100% will cause no change, values smaller
than 100% will result in shorter durations, values larger than 100% will result in longer
durations.
Velocity
Velocity changes the velocity of each MIDI note. The original velocities of the notes in the
sequence are multiplied by the selected percentage. 100% will cause no change, values smaller
than 100% will result in lower velocities, values larger than 100% will result in higher velocities.
Offset
You can fine tune the start time of your riff in ticks by using the Offset parameter. A positive
value will delay the start time, while a negative value will speed up the start time.
Real-time Control of Riff Parameters
You can have real ‐ time control over several Riff parameters, by assigning physical controllers to
special Riff Controller Destinations. Any input (or entry value) from a physical controller
assigned to a Riff Controller Destination overrides the programmed values for the parameters of
the riff on that controller’s zone. The override remains in effect until you select a different setup.
Remember, each of the following Controller Destinations affects only the riff for the zone which
your controller is assigned to.

Riff Parameter
Operation
163 RiffOn Riff On. Any value triggers the zone’s Riff if Riff is set to On
on RIFF1 page.
164 RiffOff Riff Off. Any value stops playback of zone’s Riff.
165 RiffDur Riff Duration, sets the Duration parameter (see above.) The
Duration value is calculated by multiplying the received
controller value by 1000, and dividing the answer by 128 (any
decimal points are taken off the final value.) Here are some
example values: 7 = 54%, 13 = 101%,19 = 148%, 32 = 250%,
64 = 500%, 127 = 992%
166 RiffVel Riff Velocity, sets the Velocity parameter (see above.) The
Velocity value is calculated by multiplying the received
controller value by 2. For Example, 25 = 50%, 50 = 100%,
100 = 200%, 127 = 254%.
167 RiffDly Riff Delay, Controls Offset parameter (see above.) Controller
value 64 = 0 offset ticks. Each value away from 64 = 512
offset ticks. For example, 63 = -512 offset ticks, 65 = +512
offset ticks, 0 = -32768 offset ticks, 127 = +32256 offset ticks.
