PROB
to access the per-stage PROBABILITY feature. This sets the probability that a
stage will generate gate event(s). To edit a Stage’s probability, press the Stage button
corresponding to the Stage you wish to edit.
There are two main parameters accessible by the button:
●
PROBABILITY AMOUNT
: Turning the encoder sets the likelihood that a programmed gate will
actually play. You can set a probability from 0% (the programmed gate will
never
play) to 100%
(the programmed gate will
always
play). A value of 50% means a programmed gate has an
equal chance of playing or not playing, with each pass through the sequence.
●
PROBABILITY TARGET
: Pressing the encoder toggles between two probability targets. The
choices are:
‘Stage’ : Determines the probability that
every
pulse plays on the corresponding stage. For
example, if a stage has a PULSE COUNT = 4 and a
PROBABILITY AMOUNT
of
50%
, then there is a 50% chance that all four pulses will play and a 50% chance
that none of the four pulses will play.
‘Pulse’ : Determines the probability that
each
pulse plays on the corresponding stage. For
example, if a stage has a PULSE COUNT = 4 and the
PROBABILITY AMOUNT
is
50%, then there is a 50% chance that the stage’s first pulses will play, and then a
50% chance that the stage’s next pulse will play, etc.
