Beat Repeat Triggers (cont)
Triplets Button
When the
Triplets
button is disabled, dotted and triplet divisions are
filtered out. Even loop division times are mapped to the keys which
would normally trigger dotted and triplet divisions. Consult the
Keyboard Mapping chart
for information on time divisions.
CV/Gate Trigger
Buffre features sequencer control CV/Gate inputs which receive events from modular
sources such as the Matrix Pattern Sequencer, Thor, or the RPG-8 Arpeggiator. Beat
Repeat triggers respond to note values in the range of
D1
to
F3
, and both a Note CV
and Gate trigger must be received in order to engage the loop engine.
Manual Trigger
In addition to MIDI and control voltage trigger controls, the front panel
has a Manual Trigger Button which engages a loop determined by the
Length Knob. These controls provide quick access to the beat
repeater function. The Manual Length controls are limited to 1/2, 1/4,
1/8, 1/16, and 1/32 loop lengths .
The main purpose of the Manual Trigger and Length Controls is to
provide quick access for those without a MIDI Keyboard, and also
provides a remote override access point for those using a pad
controller or alternative control surfaces. Also, the Manual Trigger
button can be used as Combinator target which streamlines the
programming of live looping effects.
Trigger Priority and Behavior
Trigger Priority is given to the last event received. This applies to all methods of
triggering the beat repeater loop. Each time a Note On event is processed, the loop
engine recalculates the start point. If notes are played
legato,
or if you hold down more
than one key to form a chord, each successive note re-triggers the loop engine. When
individual notes of the chord are released, the loop engine will refresh and start a new
loop. This manner of control can lead to some interesting results, however monophonic
performance typically yields the best results when controlling Buffre.
