3.3.8. Randomness/Probability Features
The Randomness and Probability features are described in greater detail in the
Randomness/Probability [p.52]
know that each sequencer can have its own settings for these parameters.
To try this, press the CURRENT TRACK button. After this, any changes to the Randomness and
Probability settings will affect only the current sequence on the selected sequencer. Then
you can select the other sequencers and edit their settings for these parameters as well.
!: Be sure to save the sequence after making an edit to its Current Track setting.
To make a sequence use the project-level Randomness and Probability settings again,
switch off the CURRENT TRACK button within that sequence. The project-level values are not
saved with the Scenes, sequences, or patterns, but they are saved with each Project.
The default setting is 0 for each parameter.
3.3.8.1. How the Project and Current Track values interact
The Randomness and Probability parameter values for a sequence behave differently than
the Swing values. In this case the project-level values and the Current Track values are
mutually exclusive: the sequence will pay attention to the project-level values or the Current
Track values, not both.
So if the Current Track parameter is on, those are the values that will be used for the
Randomness and Probability parameters. If the Current Track parameter is off, the project-
level values for those parameters will be used instead.
3.4. Saving a sequencer pattern
It's important to know that if you switch to another pattern within a sequencer, you will lose
any edits you made to the first pattern unless you save it first. You will know that a pattern
has been modified if a dot is visible next to the pattern number in the display.
You can save individual patterns from within a sequencer without having to save the whole
Project. Here's how:
•
If it has not already been selected, press the appropriate SEQUENCER button (-1
or -2).
•
Hold the SAVE button. The Step button corresponding to the number of the current
pattern will light up with the current sequencer's color (SEQ1 = green, SEQ2 =
yellow). If you have saved other patterns their corresponding Step buttons will
light up in white to show that they are not empty.
•
Select the Step button that corresponds to the location where you want your new
pattern to be saved.
•
Release the buttons. Your pattern has been saved to the location you selected.
3.5. Copying a pattern
You can also copy a pattern from one location within the sequencer to another, even if
no edits have been made. To do this, simply follow the steps described above in
