TRACKS

MIDI EFFECTS

Each track has a set of MIDI EFFECTS that change how an entire pattern plays. MIDI
EFFECTS are accessible in FUNCTION MODE using the control knobs.
MIDI EFFECTS settings can be saved in snapshot locations, but are not saved with pattern
data. If a new pattern is recalled, it will have the current track MIDI EFFECTS applied to
it.

VELOCITY OFFSET

A velocity offset effect can be applied to all MIDI notes generated by the pattern. This
can be either a positive or negative offset from -63 to +64.
This is especially useful when you have a mix of high velocity (accented) and unaccented
notes. The velocity offset can be used as a creative volume control to fade out certain
notes in the sequence or normalize all notes to a high velocity.
To set the velocity offset, while in FUNCTION MODE, rotate control knob 1. The current
velocity offset value will show briefly on the LED display.

GATE OFFSET

The gate offset effect will shorten or lengthen all notes in a synth pattern by up to one
step. The offset can be set from -32 to +31.
The gate offset can be used creatively to change note playback from more staccato to
more legato style. It is especially effective when you have a mix of notes that are longer
(or have slide) and short single step notes.
To set the gate offset, while in FUNCTION MODE, rotate control knob 2. The current
gate offset value will show briefly on the LED display.
