Cirklon Sequencer User Manual
In the example pattern, assign aux B to the event “Rnd mask gate”, as follows:
use the ROW encoder to select aux B
press, hold and turn ROW to access the aux selection list
press, hold and turn ROW again to access the group list
select the Randomize group
select the “Rnd mask gate” event
use step encoder 1 to set a value of 75% for “Rnd mask gate” on step 1
As you listen to your pattern now, you will hear that sometimes the note on step 1 plays, and
sometimes it is missed out.
If you keep a count of how often it plays and how often it doesn’t, you should find that on
average the note plays three out of every four times.
There is not a regular pattern – the value sets the probability that a step with gate already
active will remain active when the mask event is applied.
When a pattern step with the “Rnd mask gate” event enabled is played:
1. the note value is read from the pattern
2. the gate status is read from the pattern
3. the aux B value is read from the pattern
4. because aux B is assigned to “Rnd mask gate”, a random number is generated between
1 and 100. If the stored value for aux B is less than the random number , the gate
status is turned off
5. if gate is on, the note is sent
Try setting the value for “Rnd mask gate” on some other steps.
Only a step with gate already active will play – masking will not turn on a step that is off.
The value for the event is the probability that the gate will be active on each step:
a low value means a low probability of the gate being active
a high value means a high probability of the gate being active
For example, if you set a value of 25% on a “Rnd mask …” event, the status value on that step
will be active once in every four times that the step plays.
