●
Gate Time Rate (G. Rat)
Range: 0 — 200%
This determines the ratio between the shorter and longer
gate time values. A setting of “100%” maintains the origi-
nal relationship between the notes, lower values produce a
narrower gate time range (minimum 1%), and higher values
produce a broader gate time range (maximum 200%). To
set all tracks to the same value, simultaneously hold down
(
and change the value.
HINT: Use Gate Time to give the entire pattern a more
staccato or legato feel as required.
●
Velocity Rate (V. Rat)
Range: 0 — 200%
This determines the ratio between the lower and higher
velocity values. A setting of “100%” maintains the original
relationship between the notes, lower values produce a
narrower dynamic range (minimum 1%), and higher values
produce a broader dynamic range (maximum 200%). To set
all tracks to the same value, simultaneously hold down
(
and change the value.
●
Velocity Offset (V. Ofs)
Range: -99 — +99
This determines the amount of velocity change. Negative
settings reduce the velocity while positive settings increase
the velocity. To set all tracks to the same value, simulta-
neously hold down
(
and change the value.
HINT: Modifying the velocity is a great way to “soften” the
sound of a track that has too great a variation between the
softest and loudest notes, or, conversely, to add extra punch to
a dull-sounding track. Experiment with the parameters to get a
feel for what they do and how you can use them.
