traditional to more experimental ones that are combined offering interesting results. This mix is
adjusted with two controls X and Y.
There are three engines available, they can be enabled in the first three tracks.
The first (bottom) track generates the triggers corresponding to the Kick or Bassdrum, the second one
to the Snare and the third one to the HiHat.
To activate any of the three lanes, hold button and tap any of the 3 pads (second column) in
dimmed blue color, one for each lane. A tooltip in the screen should appear indicating the status of
the engine in the corresponding track.
If the pattern generator is enabled, the corresponding pad will be lit in brighter blue.
Pattern generator is enabled on track 3.
The triggers generated by this engine are represented on the grid in orange color when the sequencer
is running.
To enter the generator settings, press the sequencer button
and any of the three blue pads on the 2nd column.
You can also enter this menu by pressing Shift + Random. The
Pattern Generator menu will be shown for the tracks where this engine
is active.
- Dens: chance of getting a new event in the selected lane.
- X: X position in the drum patterns map (same for all lanes in the current version).
- Y: Y position in the drum patterns map (same for all lanes in the current version).
- Chaos: amount of randomization introduced in the pattern engine.
Density control is independent for each track, meanwhile X, Y and Chaos are common to all of
them.
The great thing about the pattern generator is that it works on top of the notes you enter in the grid.
This means you can easily add spice and variation to any pattern you had programmed in a
non-destructive way, so you can always turn it off to go back to what you have displayed on the grid
All the existing options are available when the generators are running.
The length of the generated patterns goes up to 32 steps, so make sure to set the track length to at
least 32 to get the full flavor and variations of the patterns.
