As the above picture indicates, there are quite a few things going on in the Cyclone which
go
beyond a typical arpeggiator. Don't worry - everything you, see
is
described
completely in later chapters. This
is
just a chance to see where we are going to end up.
If
you aren't comfortable with arpeggiators yet, or would just like to start playing with the
box,
you can skil) the rest
of
this
chapter,
and
go
ahead to
chapter
5. You may
also want to come back to this section after you have gone through a few
of
the parameters
to get a "big picture"
of
how it all fits together.
The
real clock
generator
Let's start at the left side
of
the picture. The first thing to see
is
that the clock generator has
a couple
of
new options. The internal clock
is
still there and the
Tempo
control still
controls how fast it is going, but you can choose one
of
two other sources for the clock:
External clock like that generated by some drum machines, and MIDI clock for syncing the
Cyclone to sequencers.
The
real
memory
buffer
Next we move into the memory buffer. Above we said that the memory buffer memorizes
what keys are held so you can arpeggiate without actually holding the keys. \Vell. in the
Cyclone the memory buffer holds not only what notes you played, but it also the order in
which you played them, when you played them, how hard you played them and how long
you held them.
If
that sounds like what a sequencer does, you're right. And the Cyclone
can
do
many things that a sequencer can.

look at the memory buffer again. Although
there
is
I Start
Time
and duration to
go
with every note, the rhythms are handled
independantly from the pitches. This one simple fact makes the
C)'clone very different
from a sequencer.
The
real
clone function
The most obvious change is
in
the clone function. Although basically the same things are
still happening here, there are a few extra things to see. And
of
course, this
is
where things
start to gel complicated. First
is
that the current time
is
still updated by the clock, but now
there are two different rhythm sources. The Pulse Rhythm source provides nice evenly
