so. If the drum ri is started rst, the bass ri will see that as the rst available ri to sync to
and will do so. is can be very handy if you have multiple ris and want to do some live
remixing; you could have the drums drop out, and—as long is there is a ri playing—they
will sync back up when triggered again.
You can also choose First Arp Available, which behaves the same way as First Ri Available,
but makes your ri look for the rst available arpeggiator to sync to. A setting of First
Available will sync the ri to the rst available ri, arpeggiator, or song from Song mode.
A setting of Main Song will sync the ri to the song currently loaded in Song mode (useful
when recording a Multi into Song Mode). See for “Recording A Multi To Song Mode” on
page 6-11 for details.
Note: If you have multiple ris or arpeggiators already playing when using First Ri
Available, First Arp Available, or First Available for the current ri, the current ri will sync
to the ri or arpeggiator of the lowest numbered zone that has a ri or arpeggiator playing.
Trigger SyncType
e Trigger SyncType parameter allows you to choose how your ri will sync to other ris,
arpeggiators, and Songs (in combination with the Trigger SyncZone parameter).
With Trigger SyncType set to None, the ri will start playing as soon as it is triggered. It will
not sync to anything. With Trigger SyncType set to Down Beat, if there is already something
playing to sync to, the current ri will wait for the Down Beat of the next measure before
starting; so, you can trigger the ri to start ahead of time, and have it start in sync at the
Down Beat of the next measure. With Trigger SyncType set to Any Beat, if there is already a
something playing to sync to, the ri will wait only until the next beat. Depending on when
you trigger the ri, it will sync up, but it may be on an upbeat or a Down Beat.
With Trigger SyncType set to Down Beat Wait, the ri will wait for the Down Beat of the
next measure to start. e dierence from Down Beat is that if there is nothing playing to
sync to, the ri will not start. is can be useful if you want to start multiple ris synced
to one ri. You could have a bass ri set to Down Beat Wait, for instance, and trigger the
ri while no other ris are running. As soon as you start another ri, the bass ri will start
playing as well (provided that it is set to sync to another ri or to the rst available ri.) If
another ri is already running, Down Beat Wait behaves just like Down Beat.
With Trigger SyncType set to Any Beat Wait, the ri will wait for the next beat to start. e
dierence from Any Beat is that if there is nothing playing to sync to, this ri will not start.
is can be useful if you want to start multiple ris synced to one ri. You could have a bass
ri set to Any Beat Wait, for instance, and trigger the ri while no other ris are running. As
soon as you start another ri, the bass ri will start playing as well (provided that it is set to
sync to another ri or the rst available). If something is already playing to sync to, Any Beat
Wait behaves just like Any Beat.
