A BASIC JAMMER TUTORIAL
Setup : Set the Jammer to an Initialised state. Set the EVOLVE / LOOP length to 8 and
put it in EVOLVE mode. Turn DOUBLE NOTES off , and make sure the Jammer power
switch is ON .
Now play and hold a simple chord.
Play a major chord, say C, E, and G and hold that chord with one hand or else click on
LATCH. You should hear the Jammer repeating those notes randomly every 16th note.
Now bring the NOTE control up. Suddenly you should hear the Jammer playing other
notes than the ones you played. NOTE tells the Jammer to add or subtract semitones
from the given pool of notes. Move NOTE back to 0.
Bring the OCTAVE control up. You should hear the Jammer adding octaves occasionally
(randomly) to the input notes. Octaves are only added, whereas NOTES are added and
subtracted.
Now increase both the NOTE and OCTAVE controls, you should hear a pretty random
crazy bunch of notes that don’t make much sense. Use the SCALE drop down menu to
choose something other than ALL NOTES, perhaps C MAJOR. Now you should hear the
random notes are slightly less crazy, because the Jammer is forcing all the selections to
the nearest note within that scale.
If you reduce the note selection even further, say to D, F, and A, by clicking all the others
off, the Jammer now can only randomise things on the notes of a D minor chord.
Now turn EVOLVE off so that LOOP has 8 loops. Now you’ve captured a short pattern
that starts to sound more musical.
Note that you haven’t captured the exact notes, just the pattern. If you change the input
notes, you’ll get a different result, even with
LOOP on.
