Random Fills
Random algorithm will populate the selected tracks with a series of
randomly selected steps, density of which is dened between 10% and
100%. The current work step sample from the sample pool is used. The ll
command will affect the step placement, sample will always be the current
‘work step’ sample. Select tracks or ranges to apply a ll.
▌ CREATING PATTERNS FROM RANDOM FILLS
1. To maximise the features from the Fill function ensure the sample pool
is populated as required. Sample packs are required to be loaded to the
project sample pool to maximise some ll functions. Create a work step.
2. Select the track or multiple tracks to ll into by pressing the function pad
[Select] for the respective tracks. Rows represent tracks. The Track will
illuminate blue and the track select function button bright green. It is
useful to ll populate multiple tracks initially, then edit each individually.
3. 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.
4. Select ‘Random’ Fill algorithm. Ensure the upper ll parameter is set to
‘Random’. Press the upper left [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 ‘Random’.
5. Set the ‘Random’ Fill algorithm density. Press the left side [Screen]
button to ensure the algorithm density is in focus. Turn (Screen) when
the lower parameter is highlighted to select the density %. This is the
amount of steps to populate where 100% is all steps. Minimum is 10%.
If multiple tracks are selected, the randomisation of steps applied will be
different across each track.
6. Press [Fill] button again. The steps across the track will be populated
with the a series of randomly selected steps with the current work step.
The amount of steps populated will be based on the ll density.
7. Try Iterating further [Fill] commands to trial & error new patterns. This
generates new step patterns.
8. Each track can then be edited individually. For example, the sample can
be changed per track while retaining the ll generated pattern steps.
Also why not try using the other Randomize or Chance parameters to
add variation to the ll generated tracks.
