Stage 2 - Custom Rhythms
Reset 024:Nylon Floot by going back to PATCH PLAY mode (press EXIT) and
stepping down and up a number (DEC/- and INC/+ buttons). Touch the Common pad
and switch on the arpeggiator - but don't press HOLD yet
100 2 and play a middle C. You will hear it repeated monotonously with the same
velocity as it was played. Touch the Pattern Edit pad
The bottom row is already filled with 32 semiquavers by default - this is the rhythm you
hear when you play the keyboard. Use the cursor buttons to highlight the 9th note along
and press the leftmost pad, "0"
back to the first note in the row. You can see that the 9th note is now missing, and if
you play the keyboard you can also hear the gap. Press the 127 pad and listen again
2 . The first note is now played with a higher velocity than the others (which are all at
100 - check this by pressing the cursor-right button a few times). Move the cursor to
where you deleted the note and press "Tie"
a "=", effectively making the previous note at least a quaver longer.
32 notes are too many for our purposes here, so change the End Point to 16
might find it easier to use the cursor-down button to reach this field. Also, the pattern
still reacts to how hard you play keys. Press EXIT, change KBD Velo to 120, then touch
Pattern Edit again.
How about recording some realtime controls? Touch the Real Rec pad
G#5 repeated with the rhythm you have already set up. Play with the Time-Trip (only!)
until you are satisfied with the results, then touch Stop. Two extra lines have appeared
containing the data you have just recorded
default) are the default MIDI controls assigned to the Time Trip. Press the MODE button,
select SYSTEM, touch Controller
values. There are plenty of other interesting parameters in the SYSTEM pages - have a
look around, but don't change any values yet! Read the Owner's Manual until you are
sure you know what each parameter means.
