Random Weighting Parameters - Korg M3 Parameter Manual

Index
The 1–5: Index to options allow the data to be generated
based on the position of the index in the Note Series from
left to right. For example, when set to 1: Index to 0...127, the
index of the note in the Note Series (about to be generated)
is compared to the minimum and maximum indexes that
will be generated according to the current settings and
scaled into a value from 0–127 so that the first index to be
used generates 0 and the last 127, with indexes in between
being scaled accordingly. The Polarity button can invert this
for the opposite effect (127–0). Can be useful for simulating
stereo miking of an instrument like a piano or harp (with
Pan data CC 10), or for simply tracking the movement of the
indexes with any other CC data. The Pattern Grid described
above will not be available.
1: Index to 0...127
Scales generated notes into CC or Pitch Bend values 0–127.
2: Index to 24...108
Scales generated notes into CC or Pitch Bend values 24–108.
3: Index to 32...96
Scales generated notes into CC or Pitch Bend values 32–96.
4: Index to 0...64
Scales generated notes into CC or Pitch Bend values 0–64.
5: Index to 64...127
Scales generated notes into CC or Pitch Bend values 64–127.
Polarity
0: Regular (+) 1: Inverted (–)
0: Regular (+)
The CC Pattern is sent out as originally created.
1: Inverted (–)
The CC Pattern is inverted; i.e. 0 is sent out as 127, 127 is
sent out as 0, 96 is sent out as 32, etc. This allows the same
pattern to be used in two different directions.

Random Weighting Parameters

The Random Weighting Parameters are made available
when at least one step (column) in the CC Pattern has
multiple values selected (constituting a "random pool" of
values).
For more information, please see "Rhythm Group" on
page 539 and "Random Weighting Parameters - Pools" on
page 541.
Pools-Random Factor
For more information, please see "Rhythm Group" on
page 539 and "Pools-Random Factor" on page 541.
Pools-Weighting Curve
0: Exponential 2: Exp-S
1: Logarithmic 3: Log-S
For more information, please see "Rhythm Group" on

"Appendices" on page 582, and "Random Weighting
Curves" on page 584.
The following table summarizes the effect of the various
Weighting Curves and the Factor field on the choices from
the CC Pools:

Note: Turning on the Weighting Curve Inversion Row button
causes the opposite behavior specified above (in that step).
Pitches-Random Factor
Controls the shape of the weighting curve being applied to
the top part of the CC Pattern Grid (Pitches).
For more information, please see "Rhythm Group" on
page 539 and "Random Weighting Parameters - Pools" on
page 541.
This is valid only if the GE settings make the Phase 2
CC pattern specify Pitch Offset values.
Pitches-Weighting Curve
0: Exponential
1: Logarithmic
Chooses a weighting curve shape for the top part of the CC
Pattern Grid (Pitches).
For more information, please see "Rhythm Group" on
page 539, "Random Weighting Parameters - Pools" on
page 541, and "Random Weighting Curves" on page 584.
[0, 1]
This is valid only if the GE settings make the Phase 2
CC pattern specify Pitch Offset values.
Octaves-Random Factor
Controls the shape of the weighting curve being applied to
the bottom part of the CC Pattern Grid (Octaves).
For more information, please see "Rhythm Group" on
page 539 and "Pools-Random Factor" on page 541.
This is valid only if the GE settings make the Phase 2
CC pattern specify Pitch Offset values.
Octaves-Weighting Curve
0: Exponential
1: Logarithmic
Chooses a weighting curve shape for the bottom part of the
CC Pattern Grid (Octaves).
For more information, please see "Rhythm Group" on
page 539, "Pools-Weighting Curve" on page 541, and
"Random Weighting Curves" on page 584.
