Deleting and Inserting of songsteps
Adding and deleting songsteps is a very important feature. Just imagine adding a
Break beween two songsteps without the opportunity to insert a step - that would
mean to edit all songsteps behind that position and adding a songstep at the end of
the song-chain.
The second edit page of the songstep editor offers the insert and delete songstep
function.
2/2: Ambient Step: 8 of 8
[Insert] <insBLCK> <cpyBLCK> [delSTEP]
Both functions always are acting at the current songstep. [Delete] deletes the current
songstep and [Insert] inserts a songstep behind the current songstep.
In a future version, we will allow to specify blocks of multiple songsteps to be copied
and inserted at any desired position within the song-chain.
3.11 External synchronisation and metronome Settings
3.11.1 External synchronisation
The Spectralis can be synchronised to external MIDI gear capable of sending MIDI
Realtime messages. Please press and hold the
[Shift] -button and push the [Tempo/
Shuttle] -rotary encoder button to open the following display menu:
1/2 Metronome | Sync-Settings
Count:4 Rslt:4th Sync:DIS Play:YES
If [Sync] is set to "Yes" the Spectralis will start and stop when MIDI Start/Stop
Messages were received and will sync to external clock. The transport bar of the
spectralis will still start and stop the sequencer with it's internal clock.
If
[Play] is set to "YES", a pattern selection will automaticly start the Spectralis
sequencer. That feature can be disabled in order to select a pattern without starting
the sequencer. Especially if synchronised to external equipment, disabling the pattern
"Autoplay" feature is very essential.
3.11.2 Metronome settings
The Spectralis comes with a built in metronome. The metronome becomes audible in
realtime recording and tapping mode.
At the first menu page (see above), you can select the measure format of the
metronome.
[Count] - lets you decide, after how many clicks a accent will be triggered by the
metronome.
[Rslt] - One further can select the metronome resolution between 24th and quarter
notes.
