KETRON SolTon PROGRAMMER 24S - Error Correct; Instrument Clear

division:
2.2.4. = 2 Bars 2/4; 4.3.4. = 4 Bars 3/4; 8.4.4. = 8 Bars 4/4;
4.5.4. = 4 Bars 5/4; 2.6.8. = 2 Bars 6/8; 4.7.8. = 4 Bars 7/8.
The longest Pattern available is the value 8.8.4., wich corresponds in practice to a 16 Bar Pattern.
6) To memorize the desired value simply press Pattern and proceede to the other functions.
ERROR CORRECT
During Real Time programming, Error Correct allows those percussive pulses that have been pro-
grammed slightly out of time to be automatically corrected.
Error Correct of standard Patterns is 16, that means that in the Pattern a maximum of 16 pulses per
measure (ог sixteenths) can be accepted (for each one of the 8 percussive sections available). Let's
see some examples.
With Error Correct 4, the instrument accepts only 4 pulses (or notes) on the Pattern (even if many
more are programmed). This kind of Error Correct may be useful for programming the Bass Drum
in Disco rhythms.
On the other hand the Error Correct 32 may be used for programming subtle Hi Hat variations in
jazz or funky rhythms.
It is possible to choose a different Error Correct value for each one of the percussive instruments,
f.e. E04 for Bass Drum, E08 for Snare Drum, E32 for Hi Hat.
Error Correct has to be selected before starting the Pattern programming. Some practical experience
is requested for choosing the best Error Correct for each Pattern.
We therefore suggest to use the two PATTERN CHARTS enclosed to this operating manual.
For selecting the Error Correct values, carry out the following steps:
1) Press repeatedly PATTERN until reaching ERROR CORRECT
2) Select the required Error Correct value on the pushbutton panel 1 - 8.
8 different values are available:
E04 - E08 - E12 - E16 - E24 - ЕЗ2 - E48 - E96
3) Press PATTERN in order to record the chosen value. Press 2 times PATTERN in order to go
back to the starting position.
INSTRUMENT CLEAR
This feature permits single percussive instruments to be cancelled from programmed Patterns,
without having to cancel the complete Pattern.
For carrying out Instrument Clear, you have to:
1) Press several times PATTERN until obtaining INSTR. CLEAR (on the Display the Pattern num-
ber will appear):
2) Insert MANUAL DRUMS.
3) Insert START and press the key on the keyboard that refers to the instrument to be cancelled.
If the key is pressed for the complete Pattern length, the instrument will be completely cancel-
led from the Pattern.
4) Press PATTERN in order to go back to the starting condition.
STEP BY STEP RHYTHM PROGRAMMING
For STEP BY STEP (note by note) Rhythm programming, the following steps have to be carried
out:
1) Insert PATTERN (adjust Time and Error Correct values as desired).
2) Press PATTERN three times (STEP MODE lights up)
3) Press START. 001 appears on the Display.
If a different number appears on the Display, press STOP CONTINUE and then again START,
until obtaining 001.
4) Press MANUAL DRUMS
5) Press the keys corresponding to the percussive instruments you wish to program on the first step
of the Pattern.
6) Press FUNCTION. The instruments are now stored on step 001, and you ear the sonds program-
med on the previous step.
7) Go on programming repeating points 5 and 6 until the complete Pattern is filled in (i.e. until
step 016 in the case of a standard Pattern). The programming may be continuously up-dated.
In order to program a blank step, just press FUNCTION without playing any key on the
keyboard.
Step by Step programming can be more easyly made with the help of a preprogrammed Chart.
See the Pattern Charts of this manual.
