Part Parameter - Korg Eletribe Parameter Manual

2. PART PARAMETER

These parameters are for part settings. The settings are saved
independently for each part.
LAST STEP ................................................................................ [1...16]
Normally you'll use a setting of 16. Select a different setting if you
want to create a pattern that has an irregular time signature. For
example to create a part that has 11 beats per measure, set the last
step to 11 so that one length will be a part equivalent to 11 steps.
Last Step is a function that is specific to this unit; if you are
TIP:
synchronizing the performance with an external sequencer or
with a different model of electribe, the portion of the irregular
time signature will not synchronize.
If you specify a Last Step that is shorter than the original
TIP:
number of steps, any note data located in the shortened
portion is preserved but is not played.
If Beat is set to 8Tri or 16Tri, the maximum number of steps is
TIP:
12. If you specify any value above this, the setting will be 12.
When you use the Step Jump function, step numbers 1 and
TIP:
following of the next measure are successively assigned to the
trigger pads of numbers above the last step.
GROOVE TYPE .................................. [01 Conga1...25 Decrescendo]
Selects the type of Groove. The Groove function lets you modify
rhythmically precise sequence data by applying a sense of groove
that reproduces the feel of timing with which certain typical instru-
ments are played, or the rhythmic feel of the song. For details on the
available groove types, refer to the Grove Type List.
GROOVE DEPTH ....................................................................[0...127]
Adjusts the depth of the Groove effect.
VOICE ASSIGN ..................................[Mono1, Mono2, Poly1, Poly2]
Specifies the polyphony of the selected part.
Mono1: The part plays monophonically (single notes).
If you continue holding down the first trigger pad, the second
and subsequent notes do not retrigger the EG. Use this setting
when playing legato. However, retriggering will occur when a
one-shot sample is sounded.
Mono2: The part plays monophonically (single notes).
The EG is retriggered each time you press the trigger pad.
Poly1: The part can play chords that share a single EG, filter,
amp, and insert effect (pseudo-polyphonic). A maximum of four
voices can be sounded. The EG is not retriggered until you
release all trigger pads. However, retriggering will occur when a
one-shot sample is sounded.
Poly2: The part can play chords that share a single EG, filter,
amp, and insert effect (pseudo-polyphonic). A maximum of four
voices can be sounded. The EG is retriggered each time you
press the trigger pad to play a note.
PART PRIORITY ...........................................................[Normal, High]
Specifies the order of note priority for the selected part.
If the pattern playback contains numerous overlapping notes, there
may be cases in which a currently-sounding note is stopped before a
new note is sounded. By setting the PART PRIORITY parameter to
High, you can make it less likely that notes of that part will be
turned off. However, the effectiveness of this setting is decreased if
you select the High setting for multiple parts. Use discretion when
choosing the part(s) that use the High setting.
The effectiveness of this parameter is reduced if you set
TIP:
multiple parts to High, so you should be selective about the
parts for which you specify High priority.
MOTION SEQ ......................................... [Off, Smooth, Trigger Hold]
Specifies how motion sequence will work for the selected part.
Off: The recorded motion sequence is disabled.
Smooth: Knob movements are fluid, creating smooth change in
the sound.
Trigger Hold: The knob values in the motion sequence are held
from the moment that the part is played.
MFX motion sequences use the Smooth setting.
TIP:
TRG.PAD VELOCITY .............................................................. [Off, On]
Enables or disables trigger pad velocity sensitivity.
SCALE MODE ........................................................................ [Off, On]
Specifies whether the pitch will follow when you change the Scale
and Key.
To make the pitch follow correctly, turn this On before you record
that part's performance.
