Note Series Group
Overview
The Note Series Group controls the creation of a "Note
Series" in memory, which is the foundation of a large
percentage of Generated Effects. The Note Series is a
collection of pitches and corresponding velocities, created
from initial notes coming from input source material (i.e. a
keyboard, or sequence data which is being used as input).
The various parameters control how these initial notes are
replicated, shifted, sorted, filtered, and otherwise arranged
into the Note Series. The Note Series is then used as the
basic collection of pitches and velocities from which notes
are generated, as controlled by most of the other parameters
of the Generated Effect.
Parameters
The following parameters create and change the Note Series.
When "GE Type" (see page 1045) = 2: Generated-
Drum, the effect of changing most of these parameters is
only apparent if the Note Series is being applied as pitch
bend in the Phase Group/Bend Group, or riff length is
being used in the Drum Group.
The following 3 parameters will have an effect on when
Phases change if the Phase "Length Mode" (see page 1051)
is set to 0: AC-Actual: "Replications" (see page 1048),
"Filter Steps" (Filter Template), and "Filter Dupes". See
Phase Group.
Note Type
0: Regular
4: Whole Tone
1: Scalic
5: Diminished
2: Scalic 2
6: Augmented
3: Chromatic
7: Fourths
Selects one of several modes for supplying the initial notes
from which the Note Series is created.
0: Regular
The Note Series created in memory will be produced based
on the actual notes given as input source material (i.e. a
keyboard, or sequence data which is being used as input).
The diagram on the left shows "Replications" (see
page 1048) of 400 (4.0) with an "Interval" (see page 1048)
of +12, producing a 16-note Note Series from the four input
notes (4 x 4.0 =16). Each Replication of the original four
notes is shifted by +12 semitones from the previous
Replication, yielding a four octave arpeggio.
The diagram on the right shows "Replications" of 350 (3.5)
with an "Interval" of +5, producing a 14-note Note Series
from the four input notes (4 x 3.5 = 14). Each Replication of
the original four notes is shifted by +5 semitones from the
previous Replication, with the two notes at the end being
produced by a half Replication.
1: Scalic
The Note Series created in memory will be produced based
on chord analysis of the input source material; then a group
of notes corresponding to the analyzed chord will be used
instead of the actual notes. The initial octave is based on the
lowest note received as input source material. This can be
used so that one finger chords produce scalic riffs, or to
supply notes that are not present in the source material.
2: Scalic 2
Same as 1: Scalic (above), except an attempt is made to keep
a seven note scale for each chord type. In other words, there
will be more passing tones, and it will sound more "modal"
[0...9]
in nature. For a good example of the difference, play a 4 note
diminished chord with each one. This can be of use for
8: Tritones
creating a bass line that is more predictable when changing
9: Fifths
chords, or jazzy soloing kinds of effects.
3: Chromatic
The 12 steps of a chromatic scale will be used as input
source material. The first note of the Note Series is based on
the lowest note received as input source material.
4: Whole Tone
The 6 steps of a whole tone scale will be used as input source
material. The first note of the Note Series is based on the
lowest note received as input source material.
