Sound Locks; Conditional Locks - Elektron Digitone User Manual

the locked parameter values are displayed. The [TRIG] key of the locked trig blinks red (for note trigs) or
yellow (for lock trigs) to indicate the trig now contains a parameter lock.
Remove a single parameter lock by holding [TRIG] + pressing the DATA ENTRY knob of the locked pa-
rameter. You can erase all parameter locks from a trig if you remove the note trig and then enter it again.
In LIVE RECORDING mode, turn a DATA ENTRY knob, or play the [TRIG] keys in CHROMATIC mode, to
add parameter locks to the active track. Note trigs are placed, and parameter locked accordingly, and it
also places lock trigs that contains the parameter locks on the sequencer steps that do not already have
any trigs.
To remove the parameter locks of all tracks while LIVE RECORDING mode is active, press and hold
[FUNC] + [CLEAR].
Press [NO] + one (or several) of the [TRACK] keys to erase a sequence of recorded trigs on a specific track
(or on several tracks) in time with the sequencer. This procedure erases the trigs on all steps reached by the
sequencer on the corresponding tracks.
You can also remove specific parameter locks in real time by pressing [NO] while pressing the DATA
ENTRY knob corresponding to the parameter that you want to remove.
Up to 72 different parameters can be locked in a pattern. A parameter counts as one (1)
locked parameter no matter how many trigs that lock it. If for example the cutoff parame-
ter of the filter is locked on every sequencer step, there are still 71 other parameters that
can be locked.

10.10.2 SOUND LOCKS

You can change a tracks Sound to another Sound from the Sound pool on any individual sequencer step.
These Sound locks are an immensely useful feature for adding variations to a track. Press and hold a
note trig and turn the TRACK LEVEL knob to open the Sound pool list. Use the TRACK LEVEL knob to
scroll through the list. Select the Sound you want to assign to the note trig and then release the [TRIG]
key. The [TRIG] key starts to flash to indicate that it contains a Sound lock. Press and hold the [TRIG]
key of the note trig to show the assigned Sound. For more information, please see "9.1 THE +DRIVE
SOUND LIBRARY AND THE SOUND POOL" on page 23.

10.10.3 CONDITIONAL LOCKS

On the TRIG page, there is a parameter called COND (Trig Condition) with which a set of conditional
rules can be applied to any trig, using a parameter lock. Each setting is a logical condition that deter-
mines whether a trig set on a track in the sequencer is triggered or not. If the condition is true, then the
trig becomes active and affect the track. If the condition is false, the trig is ignored. You must first place a
note trig or lock trig on the sequencer step to where you want to apply a conditional lock.
The sequencer needs to be in FILL mode to activate the conditional lock called FILL. For more informa-
tion, please see "10.10.4 FILL MODE" on page 36.
You can set the following trig conditions:
FILL is true (activates the trig) when FILL mode is active.
FILL is true when FILL is false. A trig with this trig condition is active when you are not in FILL mode.
PRE is true if the most recently evaluated trig condition on the same track was true. (PRE and PRE
conditions are ignored and not evaluated.)
PRE is true when PRE is false. A trig with this trig condition is active if the most recently evaluated trig
condition on the same track was not true. (PRE and PRE conditions are ignored and not evaluated.)
Example 1: Trig 1, 50% = True > Trig 2, PRE = False > Trig 3, PRE = False > Trig 4, PRE = True
Example 2: Trig 1, 50% = False > Trig 2, PRE = True > Trig 3, PRE = True > Trig 4, PRE = False
NEI is true if the most recently evaluated trig condition on the neighbor track was true. (PRE and PRE
conditions on the neighbor track are ignored and not evaluated.) The neighbor track is the track
before the active track. For example, track 3 is the neighbor track of track 4. NEI and NEI conditional
trigs on track 4 evaluate the conditional trigs placed on track 3. The NEI condition is false if no condi-
tional trigs exist on the neighbor track.
NEI is true when NEI is false. A trig with this trig condition is active if the most recently evaluated trig
condition on the neighbor track was not true. (PRE and PRE conditions on the neighbor track are
ignored and not evaluated.)
1ST is true the first time the pattern plays (when looped).
1ST is true when 1ST is false. A trig with this trig condition is always active apart from the first time the
pattern plays (when looped).
