Trigger Type
e Trigger Type parameter allows you to choose how your ri will sync to other ris and
arpeggiators (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 dierence 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 ris 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 ris on Zone 2 and 3 while no other ris are playing,
as soon as you start the Zone 1 drum ri, the zone 2 and 3 bass and guitar ris will start
playing as well.
With Trigger Type 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.
If something is already playing to sync to, Any Beat Wait behaves just like Any Beat.
With Trigger Type set to Loop, if there is already a ri playing to sync to, the current ri will
wait for the playing ri to restart its loop (if Loop is set to On) before starting (see “Loop” on
page 5-19). is way you can trigger the ri to start ahead of time, and have it start in sync
at the start of the playing ri’s loop.
With Trigger Type set to Stop, if there is already something playing to sync to, the current
ri will wait for what is playing to stop before starting. is way you can trigger the ri to
start ahead of time, and have it start in sync at the release (stopping) of the ri or arpeggiator
that you are syncing to. If there is nothing playing to sync to, the ri will start immediately.
With Trigger Type set to Start Wait, if there is nothing playing to sync to, the current ri will
wait for something it can sync to begin playing rst before starting. is is similar to Down
Beat Wait, but it will only trigger the ri the rst time that whatever it is syncing to starts.
is way you can trigger the ri to start ahead of time, and have it start in sync at the start
of the ri or arpeggiator that you are syncing to. If you stop the ri and try to start it again
while the thing you are syncing to is already playing, Start Wait will not start the ri.
