12. Rotate
SQ16
Playing Patterns using Rotate:
The Rotate function generates variations in rhythm by changing the Step Play Position; the rhythm of the Pattern itself (e.g.
the On/Off tracks) remains unchanged.
As an example: We use a Pattern with Pattern Length 8 in which Step 2 and 3 for Instrument I4 are set to "On". We want to
change the Step Play Position so that always Steps 1, 2 and 3 are played after another. When reaching the Pattern end (after
8 Steps) no reset to Step 1 shall take place. If I4 is set to "On" for a Step the note is played (Step Play Position is marked
dark). If I4 is set to "Off" for a Step a rest is played (Step Play Position is marked light).
Result: During the two passes of the Pattern different rhythms are generated although the actual Pattern rhythm (On/Off track
for I4) remains the same. At the end of the third pass (after 24 Steps) the Step Play Position has again reached Step 1 and the
same rhythm as in pass 1 is generated; the whole cycle starts over here.
achieving the same result without using Rotate:
To generate the same rhythm without changing the Step Play Position you would have to create three different Patterns with
different On/Off tracks for Instrument I4 and play them sequentially. The first two of those Patterns are show below:
