Settings other than multiples of 12 are extremely useful in
conjunction with "Chord Shift," described below, so that
atonal notes are shifted to musically correct pitches.
Chord Shift
0: Off
1: Scalic
Allows notes in the Note Series that may be atonal (out of a
chord's scale) to be shifted to tonal notes, using one of
several different tables.
0: Off
The Note Series is created with no further modification from
this setting.
1: Scalic
Chord analysis is performed on the input source material,
and as the Note Series is created, notes which may be
"atonal" based on the analyzed chord (due to being shifted
by non-octave values of "Interval") are shifted to tonal notes.
Especially useful when "Interval" (discussed above) is set to
something other than multiples of 12. The note tables used to
shift the notes are the same as the ones used in "Note Type"
(see page 1047): 1: Scalic, described above.
2: Scalic2
Same as 1: Scalic (above), except that the note tables used to
shift the notes are the same as the ones used in "Note Type":
2: Scalic2, described above. Scalic2 is more modal in nature
and has more passing tones than 1: Scalic.
Wrap Bottom
Wrap Top
0...127: range C-1...G9
Sets an overall range for the pitches in the Note Series. Notes
created beyond this range are wrapped around (dropped or
raised an octave, depending on which end). Mainly intended
to limit the Note Series to usable ranges, these settings can
also be used creatively to force a riff to cycle around inside a
certain range.
Voicing
0: Closed
3: Open2A
1: Open1A
4: Open2B
2: Open1B
5: Open3A
Selects one of several options for "spreading out" the input
notes before creating the Note Series. This can be used to
widen the voicing, create guitar-like voicings, or produce
interesting variations.
0: Closed
The Note Series is created with no further modification from
this setting.
1: Open 1A...8: Open4B
The Note Series has certain notes shifted up by an octave as
it is created, then may be re-ordered according to the setting
of "Input Sort" (see page 1048). Can be used to create
different types of wider voiced chords for simulating guitar
or string section voicings.
Filter Dupes
0: Off
1: Adjacent
Allows duplicate notes in the Note Series to be removed in
several different ways.
[0...2]
2: Scalic2
[0...127]
[0...127]
[0...8]
6: Open3B
7: Open4A
8: Open4B
[0...2]
2: All
Note Series Group Parameters
0: Off
The Note Series is created with no further modification from
this setting.
1: Adjacent
As the Note Series is being created, notes that are the same
as the immediately preceding note are discarded.
2: All
After the Note Series has been created, any notes that are
duplicates of any others are removed.
Not available if "GE Type" (see page 1045) = 1:
Generated-Gated.
Filter Fixed
0: Off
1: On
When Filter Steps is used (described below), allows the
resulting tonality of the Note Series to be "Fixed" in relation
to the key of C. For example, assume that "Note Type" (see
page 1047) is set to Chromatic and "Chord Shift" is Off, so
that the Note Series is essentially a chromatic scale. If you
play a single C (and "Inversion" is set to 0 - see page 1048),
you will get a chromatic scale starting with C. If you then set
up Filter Steps so that you are filtering steps {1, 3, 6, 8, 10}
you would have a C Major diatonic scale. With "Filter
Fixed" set to Off, if you then play a D on the keyboard, the
whole scale will shift to become a D Major diatonic scale.
With "Filter Fixed" set to On, the scale stays fixed to the key
of C, but you are starting on the D; essentially, you have a D
minor scale. You will be playing different modal scales
starting with different pitches. Note that this is always
related to the key of C; so if you want to put the resulting
filtered, fixed Note Series into another key, you can use the
Transpose KARMA Module parameter to do so. For more
information, see "Transpose" on page 116. For example, if
you set the transpose to +4, you would still play notes in the
key of C, but the resulting generated notes would be in the
key of E. In the above example, playing a C would result in
a E diatonic scale, playing a D results in an F# minor scale
(F# Dorian mode) and so on.
Not available if "GE Type" = 1: Generated-Gated. For
more information, see "GE Type" on page 1045.
Filter Template
Allows the entire Filter Steps grid (see "About Filter Steps"
on page 1050) to be changed to one of 78 different settings.
Template 0 is all steps off (no steps filtered), while Template
77 is all steps on except the root (only the root is allowed in
the Note Series). As the Templates proceed from 0 to 78,
more and more steps are filtered out, in different
combinations.
Filter Temp + Restore
Operates the same as "Filter Template" (above), with the
difference that when the GE Real-Time Parameter is set to
the minimum value specified by the GE Real-Time
Parameters page range parameters (see "MIN (Minimum
Value)" on page 124), the internal setting of the GE for the
Filter Steps grid will be restored. In other words, you can
have a certain Filter Steps setting already set up on the grid.
Using "Filter Temp + Restore" as a GE Real-Time
Parameter, you specify a range where the Min value restores
the internal settings, and the rest of the range selects
Templates, replacing the internal settings. So if the "Min
Value" was 5 and the "Max Value" was 10, choosing 5
