In this chapter we get to know about the heart of the motivator. The now following parameters lift e.g. the
rhythmizing the
arpeggiator-possibilities far over that what is already known from traditional arpeggiators. While the rhythmic
motivator-pat-
of normal arpeggiators only consists of stare 8tel or 16tel notes, one can generate vivid figures with our
terns
"motivator supported" arpeggiators with accentuations which produce musically costly and refreshing
sequences. With the help of the rhythmic schemes the motivator arises to a very tricky generator of ideas.
Before you call up this menu, you should select the arpeggiator-mode and put the loop-length on 16.
Besides that, when trying out things, it is useful to switch off the One-Shot-mode and to activate the Hold-
function. Thereby it is guaranteed that the pattern runs through at parameter-changes, without you needing
to keep pressed any key during the edit. If all preparations have been made you can get to receive the
display-page 4 of the motivator-edit-menu. The following message should appear on the display:
30
1Shot
If the parameter OneShot is turned "On", the
motivator-pattern runs through completely for
only one time. Linked with the "Hold"-mode a
peculiarity takes place: "Hold: ON" - The pattern
runs through completely for one time, even when
the keys already have been released. "Hold: OFF"
- the pattern only runs through completely when
the keys are kept pressed during the run through.
Velocity
When the parameter Velocity is set to "ON" the
(Velo)
motivator considers the dynamic of the played in
notes. The values of the dynamic that have been
set in the rhythmization are not regarded
anymore. This parameter has no function in the
arpeggiator- and in the chord-mode.
Length-Fit
Normally the length of the motivator-pattern in
(LenFit)
the arpeggiator-mode depends on the number of
the played notes. If the parameter "Length-Fit" is
switched "ON", the pattern-length is determined
by the chosen rhythmization and loop-length.
This leads to the effect, that a changing of the
played chords does not change the rhythm. If you
play less notes then steps have been set in the
rhythmization, the motivator repeats the played-in
notes until the end of the rhythm-motif has been
reached and then starts again with the first note.
For a better understanding of this function you
should also occupy yourself with the next menu:
"rhythmization of the motivator-patterns".
Loop
Also this parameter influences the rhythmization.
One programmed rhythm-motif can contain up to
32 steps. The loop-parameter determines the
number of steps after that the motivator turns
back to the first position. Because both motivators
work totally independently, one can receive slow
shiftings between both motivator-patterns when
setting different loop-lengths for both of the
motivators, so you can let jump back the first
motivator after 31 and the second motivator after
32 steps.
