Link
The Link (L.i ) parameter controls whether the Sources share the same Pulse Clock
(when not in Tuplet mode).

Description
the Sources pulse independently.
the Sources are "linked" together, causing them to
pulse in phase.
The effect
of
this parameter is pot audible unless multiple Sources are active, and the
Sync-to-Trigger (SY) parameter (located in the Cycling Page)
is
not set
to
Off
(OF) or
Cycle (CY). Out-of-phase pulses are possible
if
Link
is
Ofr
and Sync-to-Trigger is set
to Clock
(CL)
or
Order (Or).
10.3
CYCLING
...
The Cycling Page contains those parameters which govern the behavior
of
the Cyclone
in
relation to the various levels
of
cyclic repetition which can occur during Cloning.
There are 5 nested layers
of
Cycling possible in the Cyclone as follows:
I)
The
innermost layer
of
Cycling (and the shortest) is called the Scan, and is
comprised
of
the stream
of
notes which results from one pass thru a list
of
Source notes in a single direction
in
the selected Order.
2) The next layer
of
Cycling
is
called the Basic Cycle, and is comprised
of
either one Scan (as in the case
of
"Up" order)
or
two Scans (as in
"Up
and
Down" order).
4) The next layer
is
the Auto-Transpose Repeat.
3) The next layer is the Auto-Transpose Stage.
5) The outermost layer (and the longest)
is
simply called a Cycle.
In
Play
Mode, a single Cycle is generated by pressing Clone with Cycle off, while
infinite multiple Cycles are enabled
if
Cycle
is
on.
The Auto-Transpose Repeat and Stage cycles are controlled
by
p,muneters
in
the Auto-
Xpose Page, and covered in more detail
in
"Auto-Transpose".

End
Beat
The End Beat (E.b) parameter serves,two purposes.
In
Recorded Rhythm, it defines
the length
of
the recorded timing pattern
in
quarter-note beats.
In
Tuplet mode
of
Pulse
Rhythm (see "Timing,(Pulsing)"), the End Beat is used to define the length
of
time to
be sub-divided by the number
of
Source notes. The End Beat can always be changed
without losing any
of
the rhythm event data in the Record Buffer. The range
of
the End
Beat is from 1 to
64
quarter-note beats.
