Start Step modulation
You can use a MIDI controller, such as Velocity, to select a
different start step for each note, to introduce more variety
into the timbre. You can move the start step either forwards
or backwards. For instance:
1. Make sure that Note-On Advance is Off.
When Note-On Advance is On, Start Step modulation is
disabled.
2. Set the Start Step to 10, and the End Step to 25.
3. Set the Loop Start and Loop End to the same points –
10 and 25.
The sequence will now loop through 16 steps, from 10 to
25.
4. Set the Start Step AMS (to the right of the Start Step
parameter) to Velocity.
5. Set the Intensity to –9.
Playing at the highest velocities will now start the
sequence at step 1 (moving it forward by 9 steps); at the
lowest velocities, the sequence will still start at step 10.
In general, negative modulation moves the Start Step
earlier in the sequence, to the limit of Step 1. Positive
modulation moves the Start Step later in the sequence, to
the limit of the End Step.
Note-On Advance
This feature lets you advance the start point of the Wave
Sequence by one step with each new note-on. If Loop
Repeats is not set to Off, Note-On Advance will step
through the loop, paying attention to the loop direction and
number of repeats.
For instance, let's say that the Wave Sequence Start Step is
2, and the End Step is 6. Also, the Loop Start is set to 3, the
Loop End is set to 5, and the Loop Direction is set to
Forward.
If Repeat Times is Off, Note-On Advance will make the
Wave Sequence play as follows:
1st note: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
2nd note: 3, 4, 5, 6
3rd note: 4, 5, 6
4th note: 5, 6
5th note: 6
6th note: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
7th note: 3, 4, 5, 6
8th note: 4, 5, 6
9th note: 5, 6
10th note: 6
11th note: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
etc...
Using Wave Sequences Modulating Wave Sequences
If Repeat Times is 1, Note-On Advance will make the
Wave Sequence play as follows:
1st note: 2, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 6
2nd note: 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 6
3rd note: 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 6
4th note: 5, 3, 4, 5, 6
5th note: 3, 4, 5, 6
6th note: 4, 5, 6
7th note: 5, 6
8th note: 6
9th note: 2, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 6
10th note: 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 6
11th note: 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 6
12th note: 5, 3, 4, 5, 6
13th note: 3, 4, 5, 6
14th note: 4, 5, 6
15th note: 5, 6
etc...
Finally, if Repeat Times is INF, Note-On Advance will
make the Wave Sequence play as follows. Note that the
Wave Sequence never returns to the start step, since it's
outside of the loop:
1st note: 2, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5...
2nd note: 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5...
3rd note: 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5...
4th note: 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5...
5th note: 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5...
6th note: 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5...
7th note: 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5...
8th note: 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5...
9th note: 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5...
10th note: 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5...
etc...
Note-On Advance and Key Sync
Note-On Advance is also affected by the setting of the Key
Sync parameter.
If Key Sync is On, the start point will advance by one step
for each note.
If Key Sync is Off, the start point will advance by one step
for each new phrase. For more information, see "Key Sync"
on page 658 of the PG.
