KARMA GE guide
0: AC-Actual
Causes the Phase Change to be completely dependent on the
length of the Note Series and the Phase "Beginning/End
Offsets." The portion of the Note Series to be used as
specified by the Phase "Beginning/End Offsets" (described
below) is referred to as the "playback portion" of the Note
Series. The notes are generated by moving through the Note
series according to the Index Group settings; when either
end of the playback portion has been reached, a Phase
Change occurs. Therefore, if more or less notes are played,
the Phases will change sooner or later and bear no relation to
any time signatures or specific number of events. This is
useful for GEs that model the behavior of most simple
arpeggiators.
Not available if "GE Type" (see page 1045) = 1:
Generated-Gated.
1: TS-Time Signature
Makes the Time Signature parameters ("TSig Numerator"
and "TSig Denominator" on page 1053) available in the
Phase Specific Parameter area of each Phase (described
below). These allow setting each Phase to various time
signatures, which cause the Phase to playback a certain
number of beats regardless of any other circumstances that
might trigger a Phase Change. When moving through the
Note Series, if either end of the playback portion is reached
(specified by the "Phase Beginning/End Offsets" p.1053)
before the amount of beats specified has occurred, then the
movement either freezes, generates silence, wraps around, or
cycles back and continues (depending on the setting of the
"Cycle Mode" parameter, described below). Useful for
groove generation and constraining effects to certain time
signatures.
2: EV-Events
Makes the "Events" parameter available in the Phase
Specific Parameter area of each Phase (described below).
This is used to set the Phase to perform a certain number of
events before changing Phases (an event being a note or
cluster). When moving through the Note Series, if either end
of the playback portion is reached (specified by the "Phase
Beginning/End Offsets" p.1053) before the number of events
specified has occurred, then the movement either freezes,
generates silence, wraps around, or cycles back and
continues (depending on the setting of the "Cycle Mode"
parameter, described below). Useful for constraining effects
to a certain number of specific events, such as 4 strums per
Phase.
Cycle Mode
0: S-replace with silence
1: F-fill with top/bottom note
2: R-restart at other end of Phase
3: W-wrap at either end of Phase
4: B-cycle back from beginning of Phase
5: E-cycle back from end of Phase
6: BE-cycle back from beginning & end of Phase
Determines what will happen when either end of the
playback portion of the Phase (specified by the "Phase
Beginning/End Offsets" (p.1053) and/or the length of the
Note Series) is reached during note generation. If the
"Length Mode" is 1: TS - Time Signature or 2: EV -
Events, cycling can be allowed to occur. This has a different
effect depending on the setting of the Phase "Length Mode"
(above).
1052
Not available if "Phase Length Mode" (above) = 0:
Actual. Not available if "GE Type"= 1: Generated-
Gated, unless "Gate Type" (p.1045) = 1:Vel CP. If "GE
Type" = 2: Generated-Drum, the Note Series can be
applied as pitch bend, discussed elsewhere.
0: S-replace with silence
If note generation would extend beyond either end of the
playback portion of the Phase, those notes are skipped and
replaced with silence. Once the specified number of events
(including silent notes) or beats of a time signature are
generated, a Phase Change occurs. This can be used to
simulate the Triton Arpeggiator setting "Arpeggio Type": As
Played.
1: F-fill with top/bottom note
If note generation would extend beyond either end of the
playback portion of the Phase, those notes are limited and
replaced with the bottom or top note of the Phase. Once the
specified number of events or beats of a time signature are
generated; a Phase Change occurs. Settings of the Index
Pattern or Cluster Pattern which would cause movement
beyond that point have no effect. This can be used to
simulate the Triton Arpeggiator setting "Arpeggio Type": As
Played (Fill).
2: R-restart at other end of Phase
If note generation would extend beyond either end of the
playback portion of the Phase, those notes are replaced by
notes within the playback portion, as if the riff restarted at
the other end. (For the more technically oriented, the index is
kept within range using modulo division.) Once the specified
number of events or beats of a time signature are generated,
a Phase Change occurs. This can be used to simulate the
Triton Arpeggiator setting "Arpeggio Type": Running Up.
3: W-wrap at either end of Phase
If note generation would extend beyond either end of the
playback portion of the Phase, those notes are replaced by
notes within the playback portion, as if the riff is being
"wrapped around" the end point. (For the more technically
oriented, the index is kept within range by inverting it.) Once
the specified number of events or beats of a time signature
are generated, a Phase Change occurs. This can be used to
simulate the Triton Arpeggiator setting "Arpeggio Type":
Up&Down.
4: B-cycle back from beginning of Phase
Allows "cycling" to occur at the beginning of the playback
portion of the Phase. For example, if the movement specified
[0...3]
by the Index Pattern causes the index to go backwards
beyond the beginning of the playback portion, "cycling" will
occur (the index will automatically be jumped back into the
playback portion by a calculated amount). If the Phase
"Length Mode" is 0: AC-Actual, no cycling is performed
and a Phase Change will immediately occur.
5: E-cycle back from end of Phase
Allows "cycling" to occur at the end of the playback portion
of the Phase. For example, if the movement specified by the
Index Pattern causes the index to go forwards beyond end of
the playback portion, "cycling" will occur (the index will
automatically be jumped back into the playback portion by a
calculated amount). If the Phase "Length Mode" is 0: AC-
Actual, no cycling is performed and a Phase Change will
immediately occur.
