Note that you still must enable timbres and tracks to transmit MIDI to
external devices, in both Combi and Seq Modes, and you must also set
up the knobs and switches to transmit MIDI in the Global Mode. These
topics are covered elsewhere in this document.
7. How do I get a pattern from one song and use it in another song?
I was trying to get this simple drum roll crescendo from the
DEMO song “Med – 2001,” Track 3, Measure 11-18.
One thing to remember is that in the Triton/Karma, you have 100
Patterns per song, and they STAY WITH THE SONG. Here’s the whole
exercise:
Using the Preload .SNG in Sequencer Mode, we go to Song 03.
(5.1-1) (Song03) [Menu] -> [RPPR] -> [Pattern]
First, we set the Pattern to the length of the phrase we want to get:
[Utility] -> [Pattern Param] -> Length 08
Then, we actually “get” the data from the track:
[Utility] -> [Get From Track] - Song 03, Track 03, Measure 11
You can now actually just press the Play Button and listen to your 8 bar
pattern. It may not be playing on the correct sound, because you aren’t
necessarily on the correct track (use Track Select to change it). But you
can verify that it did indeed copy.
Having done this, I noticed that there are some loud notes at the
beginning of the crescendo. This is because when you copy this
information, an initial Volume (CC07) setting of “0” must be in the
previous measure, so it doesn’t get copied. But we can fix this.
Still on [Pattern] page: [Utility]-> Event Edit -> Insert Ctl 007 value 0 as
first event. Press done. Now press Play again - we have a smooth
crescendo.
Now, to use this in another song. Here’s the issue: patterns are contained
in a song. That means each song can have up to 100 Patterns, but they
aren’t shared between songs.
Create a new song, i.e. Song 50.
Go back to Song 3, [Menu] -> [RPPR] -> [Pattern] -> [Utility] -> [Copy
Pattern] from Song 03 Pattern U00 to Song 050 Pattern U00.
