Pattern Play
The KiwiTechnics 3P Upgrade has a
pattern system that can be applied to
any Tone. There are 16 independent
patterns which are stored under the
Tone buttons 1-16.
Pattern Play .
Pattern Play can be toggled on and
off by pressing and releasing the
Tape button and then pressing the
Mute button. Pattern Level is set
using Global Parameter A-12.
Note: If the Pattern Level is set to
off, Pattern > VCF or VCA is not
enabled or the Pattern is blank the
Pattern Selected will not sound
even if Play is enabled.
Load Pattern
A Pattern can be loaded in two ways.
A pattern is loaded
manually by
pressing Group B and then a Tone
button 1-16 (the current pattern will
flash). The pattern that is stored
under the Tone button selected will
be loaded to memory and begin to
play
only if pattern play and pattern
destination (VCF or VCA) is
enabled, and the Pattern Level is
not zero.
A pattern can be assigned to a Tone
and can load
automatically when
the Tone is loaded. To do this place
the pattern number 1-16 in the Load
Pattern Field (D-2) in the Tone
Parameter Editing. Place a zero in
this field (no editing lights on) if you
do not want a pattern to load. The
last pattern will stay in memory and
continue to play (if enabled) in this
case.
Edit Pattern
Edit mode is entered by pressing
and releasing Tape and then
pressing the Group B button
followed by a Tone button 1-16 to
select the pattern to edit. The
currently selected Pattern will flash.
Clock Speed can be set using
Global Parameter A-14. The clock
for the Pattern System can be
chosen from Int/Ext, LFO2 or the
midi clock divided by 3, 4, 6, 9,
12, 18, 24, 36 48, 72, 96, 128,
144, 168 or 192.
The Pattern clock will show on the
16 Tone lights while in Pattern Edit
mode.
Exit Pattern Edit mode by
pressing the Edit Write button
followed by the Tone number 1-16
to store the pattern under that
number or the Tape button to
abort editing without storing the
Pattern. If aborted the edited
pattern will remain in the
temporary buffer and continue to
sound until it is overwritten or the
3P is powered off.
To create a pattern press the tone
buttons to add or remove
sections of the pattern. If a tone
button light is dark the pattern
step will sound at the Pattern
Level parameter setting (Global
Parameter A-12) and if the tone
button light is on the pattern step
will sound at normal play level.
Pattern Length .
The pattern length can be
changed from 2-16. This is set by
pressing and holding the Group A
button and then pressing a tone
button between 2 and 16 while in
Pattern edit mode. The current
Length will flash on the Tone
Lights while Group A is pressed.
Canceling a Pattern .
A pattern can be cleared by
setting all the tone lights on.
