Maybe the following graphic will help illustrate what is meant by that:
♪: The smaller resolutions cause the subdivisions to happen very quickly. As you are learning about
the interaction between the Master Swing setting and the Time Division settings, it may be helpful to cut
the master tempo in half or less temporarily.
The Master Swing setting may be changed using the MIDI Control Center [p.140].
8.11. Gate time: Seq vs. Arp
The Gate time of a note is the percentage of time it stays “on” before the next step in the
pattern, with 1% being the shortest time and 99% being the longest.
There is a difference between the way Gate time has been implemented for the Sequencer
and the Arpeggiator:
• Every step in a Sequencer pattern has its own Gate time setting, stored on the
Gate track
• The Arpeggiator Gate time is fixed at 50%.
♪: The Sequencer has an adjustable Gate setting but the Arpeggiator Gate setting is fixed at 50%.
As smaller resolutions are selected, the swing period is
subdivided into two triggers of equal length.
