Basics Of Using Riffs
13-57
12. Press the bottom Chan/Zone button (to the left of the display) to move to the RIFF2 page for zone
1. On the RIFF2 page for zone 1, use the cursor buttons to select the SyncType field and use the
Alpha Wheel to set this field to Loop (see below.) Next, use the cursor buttons to select the
SyncZone field and use the Alpha Wheel to set this field to Riff 2 (see below.) These settings make
riff 1 wait to start until the loop point of riff 2 occurs. Next, use the cursor buttons to select the
RelSynTyp field and use the Alpha Wheel to set this field to StartWait (see below.) Next, use the
cursor buttons to select the RelSynZn field and use the Alpha Wheel to set this field to Riff 2 (see
below.) These settings make riff 1 wait to release (stop) until riff 2 starts.
With the settings described in steps 11 and 12 completed, riffs 1 and 2 should sync with each
other when triggering or releasing each. Follow these steps to see how the riffs sync. First, make
sure nothing is playing by pressing the front panel Stop button (to the left of the display,) and
pressing and unlighting any lit pads. Next, press and light pad 1 to start riff 1, then, press and
unlight pad 1 to release riff 1. Since riff 1 has its RelSynTyp set to StartWait and RelSynZn set to
Riff 2, riff 1 is now waiting for riff 2 to start before releasing (stopping.) Next, press and light pad 2 to
start riff 2. Since riff 2 has its SyncType set to Loop and SyncZone set to Riff 1, riff 2 waits to start until
riff 1 reaches its loop point. When riff 1 reaches its loop point, riff 2 starts, and riff 1 stops (because it has
been waiting for riff 2 to start.) In short, light and then unlight (a.k.a. trigger and release) pad 1 or 2 to start
riff 1 or 2. When you press the other pad, it will start the other riff when the playing riff reaches its loop
point, and stop that playing riff. This way, you can switch between the two riffs playing each song section,
and the transition will always be in sync. When finished, press the front panel Stop button to stop any
playing riffs.
13. To finish, press the Exit button to the right of the display to exit the Setup Editor and save your
changes to this setup under a new ID# if desired. See The Setup Editor section at the beginning
of this chapter for details on saving when you exit the Setup Editor.
