Performance Modes Random Mode

Random Mode

The Random Mode is assigned to layers 8 — 11.

If you press an LED button long enough to enter an active note in the Random Mode, the

active note will play back repeatedly. If you then enter a few more active notes, the lights will

"travel" from note to note, in the order entered, and the active notes will sound when the

traveling light passes over them. The Random Mode thus produces a totally different type of

loop from the Score Mode.

[Reference]

❊

The next active note will play at the specified 1-beat timing. The length of each beat can be adjusted via the
Loop Speed parameter (Loop Speed

. Master Loop Speed

Page 45

You can even spin loop-shapes you create in the Random Mode by holding the [L4] button

and running a finger around the matrix in the direction and at the speed of the desired spin.

The pitches of the notes will change accordingly as the shape spins, producing loop sound

effects.

Press an LED button briefly to play the sound assigned to it. If you hold the LED button a bit

longer it will remain lit and will become an active note. Press and hold an active note to de-

activate it (the LED button will go out).

The note length (gate time) can be changed as required. (Sound Length

As in the Score Mode the factory default scale for the vertical axis is an ionian scale,

corresponding to the white keys on a piano. Nothing is assigned to the horizontal axis, but

the timing between notes will depend on the distance between the notes on the matrix.
