Creating phrase combinations
The UDMR allows you combine several recorded phrases to
create new phrases. The phrase combination function uses
'pattern phrases' and 'song phrases'.
By creating phrase combinations, you can combine various
phrases to create new ones while conserving space on the
memory card.
Pattern phrase
The term 'pattern phrase' is used to describe the combination
of multiple phrases which are then played back in
succession. A pattern phrase is regarded as a single phrase.
Song phrase
The term 'song phrase' is used to describe the combination of
multiple phrases each having a designated playback start
time. A song phrase is also regarded as a single phrase.
Combining with phrase units
(pattern phrases)
Pattern phrases the method for combining phrases which
have already been recorded. They can be also used to
designate the playback sequence and the pattern interval.
Pattern phrase example
Combining phrases to generate new effects:
Let's assume that the following three phrases are recorded.
A001: lights slowly darken
A002: lights flash
A003: lights slowly brighten
Actual phrase A001
Actual phrase A002
Actual phrase A003
These three phrases are combined to create a pattern phrase.
A004:
Lights slowly darken
→
lights flash
→
lights slowly
brighten
A005:
Lights slowly brighten
→
lights flash
→
lights
slowly darken
Pattern phrase A004
A001 A002 A003
Pattern phrase A005
A003 A002 A001
: actual phrase
: pattern phrase
While A001, A002 and A003 are the only phrases which are
actually recorded (actual phrases), the pattern phrase can use
phrases A001 to A005.
