A107: 4 Gate Cycle SW1
B012: 4 Arp Cycle-Note
However, in these examples, I was going for a different sort of effect: the
same GE playing the same riff, on a completely different timbre. Or in
the case of the Harpist, the same riff in a different inversion allowing
some overlapping of the previous one, to simulate overlapping hands
moving up/down the harp.
However, any of these can be used as a study-tool to determine ways to
set up and use this feature, which I call “Trigger By Percentage.”
This is a fairly tricky thing to set up correctly, because it also involves
changing the Triggering options. You only want to trigger the first GE
from the keyboard; the others are then triggered by various percentages
of completion of the other GEs, so you set the triggering to “DYN”
(Dynamic MIDI only), and then just don’t assign anything to Dynamic
MIDI, which effectively disconnects the Module from being triggered by
the keyboard at all.
To set up 4 GEs that trigger each other in succession, and loop
continuously, you would need to make the following settings:
6.2-2a 6.2-2c 6.2-2c 6.2-2c
Nte & Env Trigger Trigger By Mod Module% Cutoff Module
Module A ANY, AKR, 1ST D 80 * B,C,D
Module B DYN A 50 * A
Module C DYN B 40 * B
Module D DYN C 75 * C
* set percentage % to whatever works; also, you can assign this to a real-time control
knob and vary the percentages in real-time. Most of the example Combis up above
show how to do this.
In the case of the Harp Combi, I didn’t want it to loop continuously, so
“Trigger By Mod” for Module A is set to “Off.” Also, in the Harp Combi,
only the first 3 GEs are triggering each other. The 4th GE is a Melodic
repeat Harp effect in the RH, so this is set to cutoff Modules A,B,C so
that playing the RH silences what was started by the LH.
