specifies several options for selectively applying (or not
applying) the Rhythm Multiplier(s) to the "Swing Note
Value" also, thereby affecting the resulting swing feel.
0: Off-do not use Multipliers for Swing
The "Rhythm Multipliers" in each Phase do not have any
affect on the "Swing Note Value". For example, if generating
16th notes with a "Rhythm Multiplier" of 100% and "Swing
Note Value" set to 1: 16th note, the resulting 16th notes will
be swung with a 16th note feel. If the "Rhythm Multiplier" is
changed to 50%, the resulting 32nd notes will still be swung
with a 16th note feel. If the "Rhythm Multiplier" is changed
to 200%, the resulting 8th notes will also be swung with a
16th note feel, resulting in no perceptible swing (unless the
rhythm is syncopated).
1: Ind-independently use each Phase's Multiplier
Each Phase's "Rhythm Multiplier" (p.1059) will
independently affect swing calculations while generating
rhythms within that Phase. In other words, the "Swing Note
Value" will also have the "Rhythm Multiplier" applied to it.
For example, if generating 16th notes with a "Rhythm
Multiplier" of 100% and "Swing Note Value" set to 1: 16th
note, the resulting 16th notes will be swung with a 16th note
feel. If the "Rhythm Multiplier" is changed to 50%, the
resulting 32nd notes will be swung with a 32nd note feel. If
Pattern Grid & Associated Parameters
Rhythm Pattern
A Rhythm Pattern controls the rhythm that the notes are
generated with according to a grid of rhythmic values. It has
any number of steps up to 32, with each step being
represented by one column on the grid. The first column
always contains at least one value; unused columns appear
disabled. The top part of the grid corresponds to 18 different
rhythmic values; the bottom 3 rows are special purpose
rows:
[ties: rand] - Random Tie: randomly ties the rhythmic value
in the same column to the previous column's rhythmic value.
For example, a 16th note in the first column followed by a
16th note and a random tie in the 2nd column yields either an
8th note or two 16th notes. When at least one random tie has
been selected, a weighting curve is available which allows
choices to be slanted towards more ties or less ties, as
described later.
Rhythm Group Pattern Grid & Associated Parameters
the "Rhythm Multiplier" is changed to 200%, the resulting
8th notes will be swung with an 8th note feel. With this
setting, it is possible to swing with different note values in
the two Phases, such as swinging with an 8th note feel in one
phase and swinging with a 16th note feel in the other.
2: P1-always use Phase1's Multiplier
Same as 1: Ind above, except that Phase 1's "Rhythm
Multiplier" will always be used, regardless of which Phase is
currently generating rhythms. This allows the Rhythm
Multiplier to be varied in Phase 1 while affecting the overall
swing settings for the whole effect. For example, if
generating 16th notes in both phases with both Phase's
"Rhythm Multipliers" set to 100% and "Swing Note Value"
set to 1: 16th note, the resulting 16th notes will be swung
with a 16th note feel. If Phase 1's "Rhythm Multiplier" is
changed to 200%, the resulting 8th notes in Phase 1 and
16th notes in Phase 2 will all be swung with an 8th note feel.
If the "Rhythm Multiplier" in Phase 1 is 100% and changed
to 50% in Phase 2, the resulting 16th notes in Phase 1 and
32nd notes in Phase 2 will all be swung with a 16th note
feel.
3: P2-always use Phase2's Multiplier
Same as 2: P1 described above, except utilizing Phase 2's
"Rhythm Multiplier."
[ties: abs] - Absolute Tie: always ties the rhythmic value in
same column to the previous column's rhythmic value. For
example, a 16th note in the first column followed by a 16th
note and an absolute tie in the 2nd column yields an 8th note.
The 2 tie rows are mutually exclusive; only one at a time can
be used in any given column.
[no bend] - No Bend: affects when Automatic Pitch Bending
effects can occur, as set up in the Bend Group. These effects
will normally be triggered with every single generated note
or cluster; by using the "no bend" row, bends can be
prevented from occurring on various steps of the Rhythm
Pattern.
Pattern grids cannot be viewed or edited on the
KRONOS.
