11.2.7 Shuffle <000-011>
The Alpha Base can shuffle or swing the beats between two neighboured steps away
from the exact metronomic midpoint to make them more lively. The swing factor is
applied on every second 16
th
step.
You can either change the shuffle value for all tracks together (Global Shuffle) or just
for one track (Track Shuffle). If you are in Edit mode, only the selected track gets
shuffled. If you are not in Edit mode, all tracks get the same shuffle amount.
Press (Shift) - all 16 step LEDs start to blink - and then select (Step) 6 = Shuffle. The
display shows:
Shuffle = OOO
Global Shuffle
The second row shows which kind of shuffle you are about to edit: Global or Track
Shuffle.
Now use the (Data) Wheel to change the Shuffle value. You can hear the result
immediately. There are 11 stages of shuffling possible, according to the 12 micro-steps
between two beats at scale A.
After your edit has been done, press (Enter) to leave the shift mode menu.
11.2.8 Roll/Flam
The sequencer of the Alpha Base is able to play several very short hits after one note
until the next note called flam. Drummers call it “flam” when one or two short hits come
after
the actual note and “roll” if two or more hits come
before
the actual note. Well,
you can program the number and the position of the double, triple or multiple hits
between two steps. It's your choice, if you set a step after the flam step, to have a roll
or have a single beat with flam – meaning some extra hits after the note.
Be sure you are in Edit mode and have your desired track selected. Now double click on
a (Step) button to activitate a roll/flam on the particular step. The step LED starts to
blink and the display shows:
K Tune Pitch Decay Harm
Roll/Flam set 8O OOO
If you want to clear the roll/flam step, double click on the step button again. The step
LED stops blinking and the display shows:
