Basics Of Using Riffs
16. We can make the riffs both play in perfect sync by always starting them at the exact same time. One
way to do this is by making the horn riff start only when the drum riff plays a down beat. To do this,
go to the RIFF2 page for zone 5 and use the cursor buttons to select the SyncZone field in the top
right of the page. Select Riff 4 by pressing 4 then the Enter button on the alphanumeric pad (see
below.) You can also use the - / + buttons or the Alpha Wheel to select Riff 4.
17. Next, use the cursor buttons to select the field below SyncZone, SyncType. Use the - / + buttons or
the Alpha Wheel to select DownBeatWait for the SyncType field (see below.) Now if you press
pad 2, the PC3LE will wait until you press pad 1 to start both the horn and drum riffs.
Why did we choose these settings? We have selected Riff 4 for SyncZone, because we want the
horn riff to sync with the drum riff (Riff 4, which is on zone 4.) We chose DownBeatWait as the
SyncType, which makes the horn riff (riff 5) wait to start until there is a downbeat of riff 4. You
could also choose the same settings for RelSynZn and RelSynTyp to make the horn riff wait to
stop playing until the drum riff plays a downbeat. See The RIFF2 Page on page 7-54 for more on
the numerous settings available on this page.
