KB MODE TUTORIAL - CREATING A PATTERN (continued)
SET THE GATE LENGTH
Set the GATE LENGTH control to minimum.
The Octave/Location LEDs temporarily light
red to indicate the current Gate Length.
Gate Length is set per-step and determines the
duration that a note is held relative to the length
of its step (from 1/8 - 8/8). Short durations
(counterclockwise) can be used to create
staccato notes, while the longest duration (clockwise) acts as a “Tie”. This means that a note is held
through to the next step.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the SUSTAIN switch is set to ON for different Gate Lengths to sound correctly.
ADD AN ACCENT TO STEP 1
Press the ACCENT button to add a brief volume
and brightness emphasis to any step. In this case
it is on Step 1. Octave/Location LED 7 will light
green to indicate that an Accent has been added
to this step.
PATTERN STEP 2
Select a new octave by pressing the LEFT/RIGHT arrows. Now play just one note on the Keyboard.
Step LED 2 is now ashing, indicating that it is being edited. Step LED 1 is now lit solid, indicating that
its values have been entered into the active pattern. This is called “Step-Write” behavior and means that
any time you play a note or enter a Rest, the step is automatically advanced.
TIE STEP 2 TO STEP 3
Rotate the GATE LENGTH control fully clockwise.
All 8 Octave/Location LEDs light red indicating
maximum Gate Length or a “Tie”. If the note value
of Step 3 is the same as Step 2, then the note is
held through the step transition. If the note value
of Step 3 is different, the note is still held through
the transition, but the effect is a legato phrase.
TIP: A Tie to a new note may also be created by entering the next note while holding the current
note, as if playing legato.
PATTERN STEP 3
Enter a new note that is different from Step 2. Step LED 3 is blinking, and the previous Step LEDs are lit solid.
Now rotate the GATE LENGTH control counterclockwise for minimum note duration.
