desired input parameter operation/explanation
changing the direction of play Direction
(Dir) With the parameter “Direction” you determine the
direction how the arpeggiator plays the motifs. The
notes of the played chords are played in the
pre-determined direction when the parameter
“Sort” is activated. The following directions can be
chosen: “UP” - the notes are played upwards from
the lowest to the highest note. “DOWN” - the notes
are played downwards from the highest to the
lowest note. “UPDN” - the notes are played up-
and downwards alternately. “RND” - the notes are
played by random in an always changing order. If
the “Sort”-function is turned off, these parameters
have another meaning. As explained later, in the
mode:”Sort:OFF” the arpeggiator plays the notes
depending on the order they have been played on
the keyboard before. With the values “UP”,
“DOWN” and “UPDN” you can let the arpeggiator
play this little “sequence” forwards (UP),
backwards (DOWN) and alternating for- and
backwards (UPDN).
Since at the moment you have not yet gotten to know the way how to rhythmize the motivator-patterns, the
gater and chord-mode is not yet right interesting. Perhaps you look at the chapter “The rhythmization of
the motivator-patterns” before trying out the gater- and chord-mode to make your first attempts with these
functions more interestingly. The gater - like the arpeggiator - works with the set dynamic-values of the
rhythmization. Instead of using this emphasis directly for the dynamic now the dynamic changes the
controller-value of the gater.
If you e.g. modulate the filter of your synthesizer with the gater, the filter is closed and opened differently
far according to the dynamic-value of the grids. Thereby you receive rhythmically pulseing pads that are to
be realized only on this manner. If both motivators control different parameters of a sound you achieve
even more incredible and crazy possibilities. Therefore both motivators have to be set to the same MIDI-
channel. Using different rhythms and differring lengths of motifs, the sound changes then continuously
and a repetition of the sound-sequence can last - depending on the adjustements - very long. The following
chart should elucidate the effect:
With these special application a further large field for experiments emerges. Controlling two parameters
simultaneously your sound-generator is demanded naturally still further than at the handling of only one
gater - effect.
On the next parameter-page there are further parameters, that exclusively concern the arpeggiator-mode:
