ARTURIA – BeatStep Pro – USER’S MANUAL 27
4.3.1 Quantize Recording
The process of recording a sequence has been described in the Basic Operations chapter.
But there’s an important concept to know about recording in real time using the pads or
incoming MIDI: the notes will be quantized according to the time division you have
selected.
So for example, if 1/4 is the time division setting then the recorded notes will quantize
forward or back to the nearest quarter note. And as the sequence loops you can replace
certain notes by playing a new one within the timing range of those notes.
4.3.2 Encoders
The 16 encoders input the values of three different parameters for each sequence step:
•
The note each step will play
•
The velocity of the note
•
The duration (gate time) of the note.
The parameter being affected by the encoders is determined by the KNOBS button:
Press this button repeatedly to cycle between the three options (Pitch, Velo, and Gate),
then edit that value with the encoder that corresponds to the sequence step.
Note: The encoders are touch-sensitive, so you can touch an encoder to view the
existing value for a parameter before selecting a new value.
Now let’s focus on each editing option briefly.
4.3.2.1 Pitch
The encoders can edit the pitch of a step +/- 36 semitones from the default pitch of
middle C (MIDI note 60).
You can edit the notes whether the sequencer is playing or not. When it is stopped you
will hear the edit as it is made; when it is playing you won’t hear the altered note until
that sequence step comes around again.
The Scale Type parameter determines which notes are available when the encoders are
turned. To learn more about Scales see section
4.3.3 .
4.3.2.2 Velocity
If a note in a sequence is too loud or soft you can edit its velocity using the encoders.
Just select the encoder that corresponds to that step in the sequence and then choose a
new value from 1-127.
The default velocity for each step is 100.
4.3.2.3 Gate Time
The Gate Time parameter is used to adjust the length of a note. Potential values are
from 1% (short) to 99% (long), with additional settings of TIE and SLIDE. These values
can be set independently for each step in a sequence.
