MODE FUNCTIONS
Clone
The function enabled by the "Clone" switch provides most
of
the "active" note
generation output
of
the Cyclone.
The
function may be traditional arpeggiation,
sequencing,
or
any number
of
hybrid modes, plus a few completely new types
of
interactive performance. The term "Cloning"
is
used
to
generically refer to whichever
function
is
programmed, as all
of
the available functions work on the concept
of
creating copies and variations
of
user-defined notes and patterns. There are three
"Sources"
of
these notes: the Record Buffer and two independent keyboard Zones
(Zone 1 and Zone 2). Each Source has a Destination which defines the output MIDI
channel for all notes Cloned from that Source.
CJcle,
The "Cycle" switch works in conjunction with "Clone" to enable a cyclic repetition
of
whatever Cloning function
is
in effect. It will usually be on, except when it
is
desired
to execute a "one-shot" (the patlcrn plays once and then stops) Clone,
or
to cause an
end to the Cloning process at the end
of
the next complete Cycle. As you experiment
with the Cyclone, you will notice that several layers
of
nested looping is possible,
depending on the Program. But in this case, "Cycle" as
it
is
referred to here
is
the
outermost repetition.
I\lanual
Control
"Manual Control" activates a transposition
or
doubling capability which can be
controJled from a "Control Zone" on the Master controller's keyboard. The Control
Zone's attributes and the particular Manual Control function
of
the
Cyclone
are
assigned
by
the Program parameters. This switch also works in conjunction with
"Record/Hold" to enable standard Chord Hold with manual transposition and doubling
of
the held notes, providing a second means
of
active note generation.
Hccord/lloid
The
"Record" function is the method by which notes and rhythms are input to the
Record Buffer by the user. The "Hold" function is a special type
of
recording which
provides the ability
to
treat the recorded notes as a Chord and simply "hold" it on
without actually keeping the
keys pressed. Again, the exact nature
of
the Record/Hold
function
is
dependent upon the Program Parameters, and includes Step Entry,
Add/Replace, Loop-In-Record, etc.
If
both "Record/Hold" and "Store" are pressed,
the Record Buffer
is
erased. A detailed procedure for Recording is given
in
Chapter
11.
