Realtime Recording; Quantization - Social Entropy Engine User Manual

PATTERNS

REALTIME RECORDING

The pattern information for a SYNTH type pattern can be recorded in realtime using the
mini keyboard or from an external MIDI controller. This allows a more expressive
performance to be recorded directly into a pattern.
To enter RECORD mode, press and hold or double click the RECORD button. In record
mode, the mini keyboard can be used to play notes into the pattern. Chords and
polyphonic performances (up to four notes) will be recorded directly into the sequence.
Playing notes legato will automatically be recorded as slides.
You can also continue to use grid recording on individual steps while in REALTIME
RECORD mode. To do this, click and hold any pattern step button. The step attributes
can be displayed and edited, when releasing the step button you can return to realtime
recording.
TIP: When using an external MIDI controller, the incoming velocity will
be recorded into steps automatically.

QUANTIZATION

When realtime recording, the length of played notes can be quantized to the nearest half
step or note lengths can be recorded to the nearest clock tick. This allows you to control
how "expressive" the recorded sequence is. For classic bassline programming,
quantization should be left on, which will force all notes to 50% gate length.
