NOTESNOTES
6.5 Range & Phrase Overview.
Range and Phrase are another parameter pair that work closely together to
create melodic phrases with the source of notes coming from the pattern
and the track pitch note menu placements. A Phrase is a predened shape
for generating melodic passages. Range expands the amount of pitch
variation within the current scale for the selected Range and also controls
the phrase rate. Essentially, a Phrase will act as a melody generator and
the note range is controlled by the Range parameter.
The behaviour of how these notes are played out is governed by which of
the 8 Phrase options is active and how much range and rate is applied. In
reality there is a 9
th
Phrase option which uses and external CV input - CV
Mod to generate the melodic phrase. This is covered elsewhere.
(1) All T-1 Parameters have a symbiotic relationship, meaning what is set on
one can affect another and vice versa. For example the melodic output when
setting a phrase and range will also be affected by the style and voicing. Bear
in mind that changing one of multiple parameters will ultimately affect the
output pattern.

6.6 Phrase
Think of the Phrase function as a melodic engine, a tool that generates
phrases ideal for chord progressions and tonal patterns based on the pitch
menu notes, scale and the range and rate controlled by Range. Phrase
actually utilises one of the 8 selectable shape templates. This then
determines the melodic passage.
▌ APPLYING A PHRASE
1. Select the pattern and track.
2. Ensure notes / chords are set in the (PITCH) menu.

Default is Cadence 1 indicated by the WHITE ⬛ [VB1] value button.
Other options are shown lit DARK GREEN ⬛.
4. To select the phrase template;
• While displaying the phrase page, Press [VB1] - [VB4] to select a
preset cadence template or [VB9] - [VB12] for the LFO shape
options. Quick and most visual method.
• Hold [CTRL] + Turn (PHRASE). This changes the template on each
rotary ‘click’ across the 8 options.
• Hold [CTRL] + Press & Turn (PHRASE). This changes the template
