Cycle
Cycle Mode
is designed to allow
a single trigger source to trigger multiple
channels in sequence. A
Master
channel’s
trigger/gate will sequentially trigger the
Master
and each of the
Cycle Mode
channels
below it in order (until another
Master
channel is encountered), cycling back to the
Master
after the last
Cycle Mode
channel and
continuing the cycle as long as triggers are
received.
Assigning the same sample (e.g., a ride
cymbal) to these channels lets their releases
overlap naturally on repeated retriggering
rather than cutting off unnaturally with each
new attack. Assigning different samples
to the cycling channels allows a variety of
potentially interesting rhythmic effects.
As with
Link Channels
above, you can have
multiple cycling groups in a single preset.
The following configuration, for example,
would give you two 3-channel cycling
groups and a 2-channel link group:
1.
Master
2. Cycle
3.
Cycle
4.
Master
5.
Cycle
6.
Cycle
7.
Master
8.

Combining Channel Modes
The various
Channel Modes
can be
interspersed for interesting effects. For
example, in the following configuration, the
three Link groups alternate being triggered in
Cycle Mode:
1.
Master
2.
Link
3.
Link
4.
Cycle
5.
Link
6.
Link
7.
Cycle
8.

Here are 4 stereo samples being cycled (the
Cycle Mode
channels are the left channels of
the stereo samples):

Crossfade Groups
Crossfade Groups
let you assign from 2 to
8 channels to groups which can then be
crossfaded under CV control with variable
crossfade width. Up to 4
Crossfade Groups
may be defined and independently controlled.
To assign a channel to a
Crossfade Group,
navigate to that channel’s
“X”
field and select
from group
A, B, C,
or
D.
Continue assigning
channels to the selected group as desired.
You can then assign a CV to control the
crossfade and set the width of the crossfade.
Those settings are made at the bottom of
the
Channels
page. Either navigate to those
fields and press a channel button to select the
group to program, or highlight a channel’s
group letter and long-press the encoder to
jump to the
XF
field with that channel already
selected.
