KORE 2 – 9
The Transport Area
The next part of the g
loBal
C
ontrolS
contains the t
ranSPort
a
rea
. If not
synchronized via an external MIDI clock (see F
ile
M
enu
of the stand-
alone) or running as a plug-in in a host environment, KORE 2 produces
its own timing information that gets propagated to the KoreSounds for
synchronization and control of sequencers, arpeggiators or any time-
depending parameters.
The clock does not only control the tempo but also has facilities for defining
the measure and keeps track of the position in the current bar. This can be
nice when dealing with step sequencers, as the bar position is an important
thing when it comes to resets for sequences of different lenghts.
When running as a plug-in, all things time are controlled by the host clock
of the sequencer. That’s why the plug-in lacks the t
ranSPort
a
rea
.
The t
ranSPort
a
rea
sports the following elements:
S
toP
(the square button) stops the central clock and resets it to beat one
of the bar. The KORE 2 Controller S
toP
button duplicates this function.
Use Ctrl+Space as keyboard shortcut (Mac: command-space).
P
lay
(the arrow button) starts KORE 2’s central timing clock. It is also
the master control for starting any MIDI-plug-ins sitting in C
Hannel
i
nSertS
. This button works as a toggle; the first click starts the clock,
the next stops it. Hitting it again continues at the last bar position. The
Play hardware button on your KORE 2 Controller provides the same
function. Use the space bar as a keyboard shortcut.
t
eMPo
e
dit
shows the current tempo in beats per minute (BPM). You
can change the tempo by clicking the value and dragging with your
mouse, or double-clicking on it and typing in a new value.
