4.2.13. Polymetric mode
Click the Polymetric name field on the left side to enter Polymetric mode, and you will see
something like the image above. Instead of one
grab handle [p.27]
to set the pattern length,
there are now five separate ones for Octave, Notes, Slide, Accent, and Vibrato.
The positions of each of these handles means that the pattern will reset to step 1 at different
times with respect to that handle's attribute (notes, accents, etc.). Effectively, this lets you
mix things up so that a given step may sometimes play at a different octave, have or not
have an accent, and so forth. This can be a powerful tool for making sequences more varied
and less robotic.
4.2.13.1. Polymetric reset
Drag up or down in the Reset field to set the number of steps at which the pattern will
"realign." This does not mean it starts over at step 1. It means that when the specified step is
reached, the settings you originally made between a step's note, its octave, and whether it
has an accent, slide, or vibrato will return to normal, i.e. what the onscreen controls show.
