11.10 FLAM
Flam is the simulated effect of a drummer hitting a note with 2 sticks. The
amount of flam dictates the length of time between the next hit after the first.
Range from 0-24 adjusts the width of the flam and is set globally.
By default, all steps in a pattern are not enabled to be controlled by the FLAM
setting. Flam can be turned on and off per step as described below:
1.
Press SETTINGS.
2.
Press FLAM (STEP BUTTON 10).
3.
Select the voice you wish to add flam on.
4.
Use the step keys (1-64 via length navigation arrows) to enable flam
on the steps you require.
5.
Adjust the flam range with the DATA control to taste
(0 = No Flam. 24 = Longest flam length).
6.
Press SETTINGS twice to exit.
The global setting can also be changed by selecting FLAM with the DATA MODE
button and using the DATA knob to adjust the flam length between hits.
FLAM programmed steps are shown in white and adding FLAM on a step
turns it red.
11.11 RPT (Note repeat)
Note repeat lets you program a step to repeat either 1,2,4 or 8 times. This can
be used to add extra ratchet style rolls to voices on a pre-defined step (1-64) by
completing the following:
1.
Press SETTINGS.
2.
Press RPT (step key 11).
3.
Select the voice to which you wish to add repeats.
4.
Select the step key (1-64 via length navigation arrows) to enable
repeat on that step. Each step in a pattern can have a different
repeat value.
5.
Select the number of repeats (1,2,4 or 8).
6.
Turn on the repeat with the NOTE REPEAT button.
7.
Select the next step to add more repeats or
press SETTINGS twice to exit.
Note repeats can also be recorded live in step mode:
1.
Press RECORD while a pattern is playing in step mode.
2.
A NOTE REPEAT can be recorded for any voice programmed
on that step.
Note:
A voice will be programmed on a step in order to use note repeat. When a
step is removed with Note repeat, the repeat will also be removed.
Note repeat can also be programmed:
Step 1: enable note repeat and select a repeat number in STEP mode.
Step 2: select any voice you want.
Step 3: hold STEP number button then press TRIGGER.
Note repeat can be added with or without step record on with this method.
11.12 Step Size Preference
The step size of a rhythm pattern refers to the note duration of a step. When
composing rhythms, the basic unit of duration (in time) is a 'bar'. The step sizes
you can choose on your RD-9 are 1/8, 1/8T, 1/16. 1/16T, and 1/32.
If you choose the step size 1/16, the duration of a single step is 1/16th of a bar.
This means that a 16 step pattern has a duration of exactly one bar.
The durations are as follows:
• •
1/8
= 1/8th bar.
• •
1/8T
= 1/12th bar
• •
1/16
= 1//16th bar (default)
• •
1/16T
= 1/24th bar
• •
1/32
= 1/32th bar
To change the step size preference:
1.
Press SETTINGS
2.
Press the STEP BUTTON associated with the step size you require
(1/8, 1/8T, 1/16, 1/16T or 1/32).
3.
Press SETTINGS twice to exit.
11.13 SYNC
Pressing the
SYNC
button multiple times scrolls through the 4 Sync option
available.
1.
INT (internal) –
The sync is set by the unit’s internal clock.
2.
MIDI –
The sync is taken from the MIDI IN port. A MIDI start message
is required in order for playback to start.
3.

The sync is taken from the USB port. A message is required in
order for playback to start.
