Parameters / 

Ctrl (Control) Matrix Parameter Tab

• TRACK PARAMETER Switch

Settings: ON, OFF

This determines whether the specified track is active (ON) or not (OFF).  This must be set
to "ON" for the Free EG of the track to have any effect.
When this is set to "ON," two pink dotted lines appear in the Free EG display. These rep-
resent the range over which the selected parameter (set in Track Parameter below) can
be changed by the Free EG curve.  The position of these two lines depends on the partic-
ular parameter and its current value or setting.  A Free EG curve can extend above or
below these lines; however, the portions that extend will have no further effect on the
parameter (beyond the values represented by the lines).

• TRACK PARAMETER

For a complete list of the Control Matrix's Parameters, see the AN200 Owner's Manual.

This determines which AN200 parameter will be played by the EG "curve" in the selected
Free EG track.  Only one parameter can be selected for a track.

• VALUE Display

This shows the current value or setting for the selected Track Parameter.  Keep in mind
that this is only a display indication; the value/setting cannot be changed here, but must
be changed from the appropriate parameter in the main control panel window (or the
Details page).

• TRACK Display Buttons 1 - 4

Click on each of these to display the Free EG curves of two or more tracks simulta-
neously.  Each track’s curve is shown in a different color, making it easy to distinguish
between the tracks.

TRACK COMMON PARAMETERS

• LENGTH

Settings:

1/2, 1, 3/2, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 bars (number of measures)

1.0 ... 16.0 sec (seconds)

The Length setting determines the time for recording and play of the Free EG sequence.
There are two Length types, including length determined by number of measures (bars)
or by absolute time (seconds).

• Setting the Length to a number of bars automatically causes the Free EG to be affected by

Tempo
