KARMA GE guide
modified by the Duration Value) that is longer than the
current Rhythm Pattern value will be ignored, and the notes
will sustain as described above. The "Duration Value"
specifies a percentage of the overall value (1 – 800%) -
therefore, values less than 100% will shorten the duration
represented by the Pattern Step, and values greater than
100% will lengthen it.
1: Poly Extend/Damped
The same as above, except all sustaining notes will be
damped when the chord changes, not just notes that are no
longer in the Note Series.
2: Mono Extend
The same as above, except each note or cluster is sustained
until the next note or cluster (of any pitch or pitches) is
generated.
3: Timed
The "Duration Value" parameter is used to specify the
duration of the generated notes, in milliseconds (1 – 5000
ms). All notes will therefore have the same length. Note that
this is independent of the current tempo - if it is set to 50 ms,
it will always be 50 ms, regardless of tempo.
4: Rhythm Overlap
The "Duration Value" parameter is used to specify an
amount by which each note or cluster will overlap or be
separated from the next note or cluster, in milliseconds (-500
– 500 ms). Note that this relates to the Rhythm Pattern
values. Positive values cause overlapping; negative values
cause separation. For example, a setting of -20 ensures that
all notes will extend and be separated from the next notes by
20 ms regardless of the actual rhythm the notes are generated
with, or the current tempo. Note that while the Rhythm
Pattern values themselves are relative to tempo, the value
specified here is not. Using the example setting of -20, there
will always be a gap of 20 ms between notes regardless of
the tempo.
5: Rhythm %
The "Duration Value" parameter is used to specify a
percentage of the rhythmic value a note is generated with to
use as a duration (1 – 800%). Note that this relates to the
Rhythm Pattern values. The actual time is then calculated on
the fly, taking into account the current tempo. For example,
with a setting of 50%, if the Rhythm Pattern specifies a
string of 8th notes, they will appear to be generated as a
string of 16th notes separated by 16th note rests (each 8th
note will have the duration of a 16th note, or 50%). Note that
this value is therefore relative to tempo.
6: Pattern Overlap
The Duration Pattern is used to construct a Duration Pattern,
in a similar fashion to the Rhythm Pattern. Each step in the
pattern indicates the duration for notes that are currently to
be generated. The "Duration Value" parameter is used to
specify amount by which to increase or decrease the pattern
values, in milliseconds (-500 – 500 ms). This can be used to
set up a certain Duration Pattern, and then vary in real-time
the "gate-time" of each note in the pattern simultaneously.
For example, if the Duration Pattern is generating 16th - 8th
at a tempo of 120 BPM, the notes would have the durations
of 125 ms, 250 ms, etc. If the "Duration Value" parameter, is
-20, they would be generated as 105 ms, 230 ms, etc. Note
that while the Duration Pattern values themselves are
1062
("Duration Value": 1...5000 ms)
("Duration Value": –500...+500 ms)
("Duration Value": 1...800%)
("Duration Value": –500...+500 ms)
relative to tempo, the value specified here is not. Using the
example setting of -20, the notes will always be 20 ms
shorter regardless of the tempo.
7: Pattern %
("Duration Value": 1...800%)
The Duration Pattern is used to construct a Duration Pattern,
in a similar fashion to the Rhythm Pattern. Each step in the
pattern indicates the duration for notes that are currently to
be generated. The "Duration Value" parameter is used to
specify a percentage by which to increase or decrease the
pattern values (1 – 800%). This can be also be used to set up
a certain Duration Pattern, and then vary in real-time the
"gate-time" of each note in the pattern simultaneously,
similar to the previous option. For example, if the Duration
Pattern is generating 16th - 8th at a tempo of 120 BPM, the
notes would have the durations of 125 ms, 250 ms, etc. If the
"Duration Value" is 80%, they would be generated as 100
ms, 200 ms, etc. Note that this value is therefore
Duration Value
The range and function of this parameter depend on the
setting of "Duration Mode."
See the descriptions above under "Duration Mode." When
the "Duration Mode" is changed, this value will be set to a
default value appropriate for the mode. (if it is out of range.)
Not available if "Duration Mode" = 0: Poly Extend, 1:
Poly Extend/Damped, or 2: Mono Extend.
Use Rhythm Multiplier
0: Off
1: On
When 1: On, the durations of the generated notes will be
affected by the current setting of the Rhythm Group
"Rhythm Multiplier" (see page 1059). For example, if the
Duration Pattern specifies a duration of a 16th note, and the
"Rhythm Multiplier" is set to 200% in the current Phase, the
actual resulting duration will be an 8th note. This is useful
when you want to vary the Rhythm Multiplier in real-time
and have the Duration Pattern also lengthen the notes
appropriately.
