OPERATION
Using the graphic equaliser analogy:
When the [SHIFT] function is selected (SHIFT LED Flashing) this control is used to set the way in which one sound
changes into the next during the sequence. The setting of the glide function can alter the sequence pattern quite
dramatically. For example, the sound can be made to change immediately from one vowel to the next, producing a
punctuated effect or ‘morph’ between the sounds, creating one ‘fluid’ expression. At the fully anti-clockwise position
the HOLD feature will be selected. As the knob is moved in a clockwise direction the other selections become
available with the SKIP feature being accessed at the fully clockwise position. There are five glide settings as
follows:
The current sound will be maintained until the next sequence point, at which point it changes immediately
to the new sound.
The current sound is morphed to the new one over the first half of the sequence period.
The current sound is morphed to the new one over the whole of the sequence period.
The current sound plays for a short period (60ms) followed immediately by the next sound.
Example would be the letter ‘d’ pronounced “deeeee”.
The event will be omitted, producing a gap in the sequence.
