Selecting a RAMP
Pressing the RAMP X button in the SINGLE/MULTI PATCH PAGE SELECT
section will give the display:
SELECT RAMP FROM 1 TO 4
While this message is being displayed, the LED in X SELECT will flash on and
off, prompting you to select one of the four available Ramps. The CURRENT
PAGE section of the PROGRAMM ER display will show the Ramp that was
last selected. You may then...
... press an X SELECT button from 1 to 4 to select that Ramp
... or press the RAMP X button again to select the Ramp that was
selected previously-the one displayed under CURRENT PAGE. This
feature adds speed when selecting an Ramp to be worked with.
Once you have selected a Ramp, it will be displayed in PAGE MODIFIER.
At this point you are able to adjust its Page 1 RATE parameter- its remaining
parameters exist in Page 2. You may also switch among the four Ramps with
the X select buttons if the Lower display RATE value function is not
underlined.
RATE
When triggered, the Ramp will begin its control cycle. It will
complete its cycle and wait for another trigger to start again.
The MATRIX-12's own Keyboard, MIDI IN from the Master
controller or an External Trigger (input to TRIGGER IN on the
back panel) serve as.trigger sources for the Ramps. The time
that it takes to complete one cycle is set by the RATE
control. Amount value range is 0 to 63 where 0 is an
instantaneous transition (no time) and 63 is the maximum.

triggering available with the Ramps:

are holding a key down, the Ramp for that Voice will not start
again (won't get a new trigger) until you let go of the key and
