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 ris 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, which behaves the same way as First Ri, but makes your ri
look for the rst available arpeggiator to sync to. A setting of First Ri/Arp 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 6-13 for details.
Note: If you have multiple ris 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 Type
e Trigger Type parameter allows you to choose how your ri will sync to other ris,
arpeggiators, and Songs (in combination with the Trigger Master parameter).
With Trigger Type set to None, the ri will start playing as soon as it is triggered. It will not
sync to anything. With Trigger Type 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 Type 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 up beat or a down beat.
With Trigger Type set to Down Beat Wait, the ri will wait for the down beat of the next
measure to start. e dierence from Down Beat is that if there is nothing playing to sync
to, the ri will not start. If another ri is already running, Down Beat Wait behaves just like
Down Beat. Down Beat Wait is useful if you want to start multiple ris synced to one ri.
For example, You could have a drum ri on Zone 1, a bass ri on Zone 2, and a guitar ri
on Zone 3 , with the Zone 2 and 3 Trigger Type set to Down Beat Wait, and Trigger Master
set to Ri Zone 1. If you trigger the ris on Zone 2 and 3 while no other ris are playing,
as soon as you start the Zone 1 drum ri, the zone 2 and 3 bass and guitar ris will start
playing as well.
With Trigger Type set to Any Beat Wait, the ri will wait for the next beat to start. e
dierence 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 ris synced to one ri. You could have a bass
ri set to Any Beat Wait, for instance, and trigger the ri while no other ris 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.
