The Cyclone provides the ability
to
automatically transpose notes during Cloning, in a
two-level cyclic repetition. The outermost transpose layer
is
refelTed to as a "Stage"
while the lower transpose layer is referred to simply as a "Repeat"
of
that Stage. There
are 8 Stages provided, with up to 128 Repeats per Stage. A Repeat normally consists
of
one Basic Cycle, as described in "Cycling".
Three independent
Auto-Transpose functions are available. At the Stage level, the
Cyclone allows specification
of
a fixed transpose interval which will be
in
effect for the
duration
of
that Stage.
Two
Auto-Transpose functions are available at the Repeat level. "Transpose by
Inversions" provides the ability to invert the notes within a Source note list
in
generally
the same sense as one inverts a standard triad. Inversion processing begins with the
original Source note list at the
fIrst Repeat
of
each Stage, then at the beginning
of
each
successive Repeat inverts the note list used by the prior Repeat. Inversions may
proceed either up
or
down, and do not alternate direction automatically. (A note added
to a Source after the beginning
of
the second Repeat
of
a Stage
is
inserted into the note
list according to its actual note value, not the value
it would have had
if
it had been
present at the
fIrst Repeat
of
a Stage and inverted along with the rest
of
the notes in the
Source).
"Transpose
by
Recursions", also at the Repeat level, provides the ability to add the
same constant interval to the Source notes at each Repeat. This allows such effects as
chromatic variations, circle
of
fIfths, diminished progressions, octaves, etc.
All transpose functions in the
Cyclone
are additive.

is
defeated, and a Cycle simply
consists
of
a Basic Cycle. None
of
the other Auto-
Transpose parameters have any effect if this
is
the
selected Mode.
Auto-Transpose
is
enabled, allowing the Stages to
progress as programmed.
Auto-Transpose is enabled, with each Repeat
inverting the note list used in the prior Repeat in the
Up direction.
