DESCRIPTION
Transposes a track's pitch in semitone increments from -60 to
+60 semitones. Transposition often results in notes that deviate from the
chosen root/scale, and those deviations are indicated by the on-screen
keyboard displayed when you move a PITCH SLIDER.
Sets the octave range covered by the throw of the PITCH SLIDERS.
Slider range can be as little as 1 octave, or as much as 4 octaves.
Lowest pitch is at the bottom of the PITCH SLIDER. Raising the slider
raises the pitch.
Highest pitches are at the bottom of the PITCH SLIDER. Raising the
slider lowers the pitch.
Uses the PULSE COUNT switch positions as the default pulse count for
each stage in a track.
Overrides the PULSE COUNT switches, and sets all stages to the
selected pulse count.
Uses the GATE TYPE switches as the default gate type for each stage in
a track.
Overrides the GATE TYPE switches, and sets all stages to the SINGLE
Gate Type
Overrides the GATE TYPE switches, and sets all stages (not set to
REST) to the SINGLE Gate Type
Overrides the GATE TYPE switches, and sets all stages to the MULTI
Gate Type
Overrides the GATE TYPE switches, and sets all stages (not set to
REST) to the MULTI Gate Type
Overrides the GATE TYPE switches, and sets all stages to the HOLD
Gate Type
Overrides the GATE TYPE switches, and sets all stages (not set to
REST) to the HOLD Gate Type
When 'on,' gate lengths stretch proportionally over the length of the
stage; the stage length is determined by the stage's pulse count.
For example, assume a stage has a GATE LENGTH = 50%, a
GATE TYPE = SINGLE, and a PULSE COUNT = 4. The gate will open at
the beginning of the stage and stay open for two full clock pulses, before
going low for the final two clock pulses in the stage.
Numerous examples that illustrate several ways that Gate Stretching
extends your rhythmic options (when combined with other parameters)
are given in Gate Stretching - Examples
