Special usage:
The triggers in the drum-matrix can be enabled with
SHIFT+CURSOR RIGHT
and disabled with
SHIFT+CURSOR LEFT
or via
SHIFT+DELETE
. The whole row can be deleted using the mark
functions.
Note that the drum matrix counts as one column currently, so it’s not possible to do any copy +
paste actions on only a few drum-matrix columns. All these actions are always for a whole drum-
matrix row. The kind of triggers can be set up in the track settings screen.
Values filled in on Page1 or Page 2 override the possible drum-matrix trigger on the used trigger.
So if for example Trigger 3 is enabled in the drum-matrix and the drum-matrix triggers are set to
20. And if on Page 1 the Trigger 3 is set to the value 52 in the same row, then the 52 overrules the
20.
The Triggers can also be muted or soloed. To mute a Trigger your cursor must be on either a
trigger column in the first page or on the drum-matrix. Pressing
SHIFT+DOWN+START
will
mute/unmute the trigger. Pressing
SHIFT+UP+START
will Solo or unsolo the Trigger. When
unsolo-ing all triggers will be unmuted as well. The function works the same as muting and solo-ing
for the regular tracks.
Drum-Matrix patterns can be moved per trigger. Using
SHIFT+OK+CURSOR DOWN
moves the
currently selected trigger column in the drum-matrix one step down. Triggers that shift out of the
last row will be inserted in the first row. Using
SHIFT+OK+CURSOR UP
moves the current
selected trigger column in the drum-matrix one step up. Triggers that shift out of the first row will be
inserted in the last row.
Beside setting different trigger points in the drum-matrix manually, a different input mode is
available. Drum triggers can be inserted in a ‘Euclidean Rhythm’ style. The idea is to add an
amount of trigger points where the pauses between the triggers is as equal as possible. For
example, if a pattern has 64 steps and an amount of 16 triggers should be filled in, then the
spacing/pause between each trigger will be 4 steps long/ every trigger will be inserted every 4
positions.
So it is possible to insert 0 to 64 triggers and the trigger points and pause is automatically
calculated and inserted in the selected trigger column of the drum-matrix.
By using
SHIFT+OK+LEFT
, the amount of triggers is decreased and the euclidean rhythm is
inserted. By using
SHIFT+OK+RIGHT
, the amount of triggers is increased and the euclidean
rhythm is inserted. Note that the counting starts at the cursor position, so if the cursor is for
