13. GLOSSARY
The terms here may be applied in specific ways for this module. They are
defined as such to avoid confusion with the “dictonary definition” one might
find elsewhere.
BLINKING:
When the LED quickly turns off and on as if controlled by a square
wave.
BURST:
Multiple triggers sent per step, creating a “ratchet” like sound.
BREATHING:
When the LED cycles slowly on and off as if controlled by a
triangle wave.
LATENCY:
Time delay between when a signal is received and when it is
processed.
MATRIX:
The panel of 64 buttons that takes up the lower section of the
sequencer’s panel. These buttons are used to activate steps and control
different features throughout.
PLAYHEAD:
A term for the virtual cursor keeping track of the sequencer’s
position in time, regardless of the visual cursor’s position.
POLLED:
To check (devices, such as several computer terminals sharing a
single line) in sequence for messages waiting to be transmitted.
RISING EDGE:
Rising edge means the event will only occur if the voltage goes
from 0V to 3V or above. If the gate stays high, the event will not re-trigger
until it goes low and comes back up.
ROOT:
Files stored in the “root” of a memory card that have no enclosing
folder. The settings file is stored here as it applies to all project folders.
SCENES:
Essentially, these are presets of track mute settings that can be
recalled at any time.
SESSION:
Refers to all of the data contained within one of Metron’s 64 save
slots. A session contains the pattern data for 5 variations, 16 Mute Scenes,
and settings for Internal Clock and Assign Input.
VARIATION:
A pattern stored on METRON is referred to as a variation. When
loaded into a variation slot, these can be played, viewed, and edited at any
time.
