VARIGATE 8+ MANUAL V.2
CREATING YOUR FIRST PATTERNS/SEQUENCES
PRESS THE PLAY BUTTON so that you
can hear what you are about to create.
Select one of the GATE channels so that
button is lit.
Next, press the PROBABILITY button
once and then adjust a step slider. If you
move a step slider all the way to the
right, the chance that that gate will occur
is 100%. Setting the slider to the center
and the gate will occur 50%of the time
and so forth.
NOTE: By default, there are 16 steps per
each GATE pattern/sequence.
You can change the PULSEWIDTH of
a gate per step by selecting the PW
button and adjusting a slider for a gate
you wish to change. Depending on the
module receiving the gate, you’ll hear
this step is audibly longer (because
the width of the gate is longer).
To clear an existing pattern, simply
hold the CLEAR button while selecting
one of the GATE buttons to clear that
pattern/sequence entirely.
To add REPEATS per step, such as
hi-hat rolls: Select a GATE channel, now
press the REPEAT button once and
adjust the slider/step you wish to add
REPEATS to. You should now hear
rolling repeats everytime that step plays.
Follow these instructions for GATE
channels 2-8.
HINT: You can create a quick
pattern/sequence on the fly by inserting
a gate signal into the RND/RANDOM
input.
Now add DELAY per step: follow the
same steps above but select the DELAY
button and adjust the step slider you
wish to add gate delay to. Notice that
each time that step plays it is now slightly
delayed or shuffled.
The Variagate 8+ defaults to GATE 1. A GATE button also acts as the active PRESET and will flash quickly indicating that it is active.
