Bass Fills
Bass algorithm will populate 1 selected track over a pattern length up to 64
steps with a melodic bass line. It is important that the SD card format is
structured properly. The ‘MelodyFills’ folder will contain the source pattern
templates for generating bass lines when using the ll algorithm. Also try
experimenting with different scale and scale lter settings.
▌ CREATING PATTERNS FROM BASS FILLS.
1. To use the Bass Fill function ensure that the sample pool contains a
bass folder i.e. a folder with the character string ‘Bass’ in the name.
Some sample packs already have bass folders, so one can simply be
loaded to the project sample pool. Bass ll is heavily reliant on correctly
formatted sample packs and the samples in a bass folder.
• All factory packs with the exception of intellectual and the slam
modeling packs have a bass folder. A folder can be created and
samples copied in if needed.
2. The length of the tracks can be up to 64 steps. Set a track length for all
tracks to suit the pattern required.
3. Select a single track channel to ll into by pressing the [Select] function
pad buttons for the respective track. Rows represent tracks. The Track
will illuminate blue and the track select function button lit bright green.
4. Press [Fill] button. Initial selection of ll will select the mode. When
subsequently pressing the [Fill] button within the ll mode, a ll will be
initiated to populate steps on selected tracks.
5. Select ‘Bass’ Fill algorithm. Ensure the upper ll parameter is set to
‘Bass’. Press the left side [Screen] button to ensure the algorithm type
is in focus. Turn (Screen) when the upper parameter is highlighted to
select the algorithm, in this example select ‘Bass’.
6. Set the ‘Bass’ Fill genre. Press the left side [Screen] button to ensure
the algorithm genre is in focus. Turn (Screen) when the lower parameter
is highlighted to select the genre preset. This is a pre-programmed
chord pattern from a factory selection of 48 patterns.
7. Press [Fill] button again. The selected steps will be populated with the
pattern based on genre preset and samples from the sample pool.
8. The programmed note samples can be changed individually to another
sample by manually selecting it.
