RIFF Page
started first, the bass riff will see that as the first available riff to sync to and will do so. This
can be very handy if you have multiple riffs and want to do some live remixing; you could
have the drums drop out, and—as long is there is a riff playing—they will sync back up
when triggered again.
You can also choose First Arp, which behaves the same way as First Riff, but makes your riff
look for the first available arpeggiator to sync to. A setting of First Riff/Arp will sync the riff
to the first available riff, arpeggiator, or song from Song mode. A setting of Main Song will
sync the riff to the song currently loaded in Song mode (useful when recording a Multi into
Song Mode). See for
Note: If you have multiple riffs or arpeggiators already playing when using First Riff
Available, First Arp Available, or First Available for the current riff, the current riff will sync
to the riff or arpeggiator of the lowest numbered zone that has a riff or arpeggiator playing.
Trigger Type
The Trigger Type parameter allows you to choose how your riff will sync to other riffs,
arpeggiators, and Songs (in combination with the Trigger Master parameter).
With Trigger Type set to None, the riff will start playing as soon as it is triggered. It will not
sync to anything. With Trigger Type set to Down Beat, if there is already something playing
to sync to, the current riff will wait for the down beat of the next measure before starting; so,
you can trigger the riff to start ahead of time, and have it start in sync at the down beat of the
next measure. With Trigger Type set to Any Beat, if there is already a something playing to
sync to, the riff will wait only until the next beat. Depending on when you trigger the riff, it
will sync up, but it may be on an up beat or a down beat.
With Trigger Type set to Down Beat Wait, the riff will wait for the down beat of the next
measure to start. The difference from Down Beat is that if there is nothing playing to sync
to, the riff will not start. If another riff is already running, Down Beat Wait behaves just like
Down Beat. Down Beat Wait is useful if you want to start multiple riffs synced to one riff.
For example, You could have a drum riff on Zone 1, a bass riff on Zone 2, and a guitar riff
on Zone 3 , with the Zone 2 and 3 Trigger Type set to Down Beat Wait, and Trigger Master
set to Riff Zone 1. If you trigger the riffs on Zone 2 and 3 while no other riffs are playing,
as soon as you start the Zone 1 drum riff, the zone 2 and 3 bass and guitar riffs will start
playing as well.
With Trigger Type set to Any Beat Wait, the riff will wait for the next beat to start. The
difference from Any Beat is that if there is nothing playing to sync to, this riff will not start.
This can be useful if you want to start multiple riffs synced to one riff. You could have a bass
riff set to Any Beat Wait, for instance, and trigger the riff while no other riffs are running. As
soon as you start another riff, the bass riff will start playing as well (provided that it is set to
sync to another riff or the first available). If something is already playing to sync to, Any Beat
Wait behaves just like Any Beat.
