Animator Graph editor
The main ‘LCD’ display in Animator is the Graph editor, which allows you to draw pattern events to use with Animator’s
various modes. There are 3 pages of Graph lanes in the Animator LCD:
• Pitch / Velocity / Gate
• Shift / Duration / Repeat
• Modulation / Mod. Glide
Graph lanes are always scaled to the current pattern length (set with the
Steps
parameter).
Using the Graph editor
• Click in a step to set its value.
• Click and drag left/right in order to ‘paint’ values across multiple steps.
• Hold down ALT and click and drag up/down after a painting across multiple steps in order to ramp the value up or down.
• Hold down CTRL when drawing or painting events in order to revert to the steps’ default values.
• Hold down SHIFT to edit multiple values at once: click and drag across multiple steps with SHIFT held down, then drag
the mouse up/down.
X-Gap
This function allows you to skip steps (leaving gaps) when painting multiple events by
clicking and dragging left/right. It is especially useful for restricting edits to on- or off-
beats.
At its default setting of 1, no steps are skipped. However, setting it to 2, 3 or 4 results in
only affecting every 2nd, 3rd or 4th step from that which was originally clicked.
Y-Qtz
The Y-Quantize function restricts the resolution of values, in the Modulation Graph only,
to 1, 2, 6 or 12 levels.
Note that the number represents the resolution allowed both above and below the
center zero-line. Therefore, a setting of 6 gives you 13 values: six above the centre line,
six below, and the centre line itself. A setting of 1 gives you 3 values: 1, 0 and -1.
Graph lanes
Pitch (Arp, Note Seq and Advanced modes)
This Graph represents pitch offsets from the input.
When using the Note Sequencer engine type, the central value defaults to middle C (C5). If a MIDI note is routed to it, the
input note becomes the central value. This mode also features a
Pitch
control to offset the Graph by positive or negative
amounts.
In Arpeggiator mode, Pitch Graph values offset the pitch of each arpeggiator step. This is especially useful for shifting the
octave of individual steps in more advanced ways than the regular
Oct. Range and Oct. Mode functions allow.
Velocity (Arp, Note Seq and Advanced modes)
The Velocity Graph sets the absolute velocity of each step when using Note Sequencer/Arpeggiator/Advanced engine
types.
If you are using the Advanced engine type, the
Use Vel
control allows you to offset these values with the velocity of input
events for each step of the arpeggiator pattern (see section 8:13).
The Note Sequencer engine type features a
Velocity
control which offsets the Graph by a positive or negative amount.
Gate (All modes)
This Graph switches each step on or off.
When using the Mod Sequencer engine type, if a step is off, the Mod. Value Graph remains at the value of the previous
step.
