Take some hi-hat sounds and set them to exclusive voice groups, for example, with
the open hi-hat assigned to voice group 1 and the closed hi-hat to voice group 2. Now
the open hi-hat sound can be set to more voices, ve, for example. This allows some
audio trails to be heard. The second voice group can be set to one voice. Both of
these groups should now be assigned to exclude group 1. With this setup, you obtain
the effect of trailing drum sounds while having a controlled polyphony (voice group 1),
and you can still mute that group with the closed hi-hat.
13.3. Cell Activation
The Cell Activation module allows you to determine conditions under which a cell is triggered.
Usually, a cell is triggered upon receiving a MIDI note, which is expressed by the default settings of
Trigger being set to Note On, and Condition being set to Always in this module.
The Cell Activation module contains the following settings and options:
The Cell Activation module.
• Tabbed pages 1 and 2: The pages provide you with two menus for setting up nested
conditions. Page 2 is only available when Condition 1 is not set to Always.
• Trigger: A cell can be triggered either by a Note On command (default setting) or a Note Off
command. If you choose Note Off, the cell will be triggered when you release the key. Velocity
and duration will work the same way as Note On, only after you release the note. This is
important when combining the Note Off trigger with articulations such as Roll or Geiger
Counter in the Articulation module.
