Setup Lists

Net tells you the total length of time your rhythm takes up to the
step you are editing. In this example we are looking at step 1
which has a length value of 1.00 so that is the Net. If Steps 2 and 3
had length values of 0.50 then the Net in Step 3 would be 2.00.
L= displays the length of time the rhythm will wait before
playing the next step.
D= tells you the duration of that stepÕs note. It can be up to 4
times the Length.
Example
Beats: 1/4
# of steps: 3
Step 1: L= 0.25 D= 0.03
Step 2: L= 0.25 D= 0.50
Step 3: L= 0.50 D= 0.25
Step 1 will play a staccato 16th note.
Step 2 will play a 16th note with a duration that holds the length
of an 1/8th note.
Step 3 will play a 1/8th note with the duration of a 1/16th note.
Both steps 2 and 3 will stop their notes at the same time.
Ctlr53 scales the rhythm duration from 3% to 400% of the D
values. A value of 32 plays the duration speciÞed in the rhythm
editor. If you increase the value above 32, the ExpressionMate
will scale each duration for each step, keeping the character of the
rhythm. The maximum duration of any note after scaling,
however, is 255 clocks.
