4.6. PATTERN PROGRAMMING
CHAPTER 4. DRUM SEQUENCER
Tuplets have a balance setting. This is the velocity ’evolution’ of the consecutive
drum hits. If it is set neutral, all tuplet drum hits are played equal in volume. If it’s set
positive, the drum hits decrease in velocity, sounding a bit like an echo. If the balance is
negative, the tuplet’s drum hits increase in velocity, like an upcoming drum roll. Don’t
forget to set a volume velocity sensitivity to get the full effect (VE slider,
see §3.11).
If you turn the Y, Z or T knob while keeping the SHIFT+FLAM button pressed you
can set the tuplet balance, number and time:
• SHIFT+FLAM+Y: tuplet balance, can be set to diminutive (positive) or growing
(negative)
• SHIFT+FLAM+Z: tuplet number, the number of tuplet drum hits
• SHIFT+FLAM+T: tuplet time, or the time between tuplet drum hits
The tuplet balance, number and time parameters are parameters that belong to the
pattern. You can save and recall them with the pattern.
4.6.7
Meter or pattern length
Pattern lengths can be set using the SHIFT+button:
• SHIFT + 1-16/../49-64 sets how many bars you want in your pattern: 1, 2, 3 or
4.
• SHIFT + number button sets the number of steps in a bar.
If you want to play a piece in 6/8 time signature for example, press SHIFT+13.
You’ll have a bar length of 6 8th-notes now. When the sequencer arrives at step 13, it
restarts from zero. The display shows ’Patt Length:1x12’ (or 2, 3 or 4 x12).
You can also combine this with the 16/32 button to create very special time signa-
tures. . . 27/32, anyone?
