3.9 Editing motifs and patterns
In this chapter you will learn how you can change the motifs of the parts. The chapter
starts with a rather simple exercise – exchanging existing motifs with the goal of
creating new patters – and it ends with instructions for realtime-recording and the
use of the beatmatrix for the creation of new rhythms
3.9.1 Exchanging motifs
You can replace the Motifs of the Sequencer to create new Patterns. Of course you
can make your selection while the Sequencer is playing. Exchanging Motifs can be
done as follows:
I.
First chose the part, in which you want to replace the motif.
II.
In the "Part"-section upper left -> push the
[Select]
-button
Select the desired part in the numeric button row below!
III.
Opening the motif selection menu:
Push the
[MOTIF]
-button in the "Num-Button-Assignment"-section.
You will see the following display message:
S01 PA01: Exchange Motif for Part Kick
S01:01 P:01 M:Kick [EDIT]
Using the encoders right under the display you can now handle the following
functions:
S:01
– Use the first encoder to chose the song, in which you want to select a
motif.
P:01
– Use the second encoder to select one of the patterns 1-32 from which a
motif is to be extracted.
M:KICK
– use the third encoder to select the part from which the motif is to be
selected. For easier orientation the motifs are named corresponding to their part
designation. If all you are seeing is the (”—”) Symbol instead of a part-name, you
will know that the selected motif-number of this Pattern does not actually contain
a motif.
Towards the bottom of the list you will find an additional entry ”EMPTY”. This is
to be used for erasing a motif while the current pattern is playing. When you are
turning the 3 encoders you will immediately be able to hear the respective motif.
The Num-Buttons can be used as well to select a motif. Pressing numbutton
[1]
for example loads the motif, which was assigned to the same part at pattern
number one. In case, that there can't be found a motif at the same part, the spectralis
automaticly selects another part as the motif source.
IV.)
Executing the motif exchange
To transfer your selection to the pattern, push encoder-button ”3”.
You will see the following display message:
