4.2.9. Randomness and Probability
The Randomness and Probability features are described in greater detail in the
Randomness/Probability [p.52]
know that the drum sequencer can have its own settings for these parameters.
To experiment with this, press the CURRENT TRACK button: any changes to the Randomness
and Probability settings after this will affect only the current drum pattern. 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 pattern use the project-level Randomness and Probability settings again, switch
off the CURRENT TRACK button. 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.
♪: The Current Track setting affects the entire Drum pattern (i.e., the individual drum tracks will be
affected as a group.)
4.2.9.1. Interaction between the Project and Current Track values
The Randomness and Probability parameter values for a pattern behave differently than
the Swing values. In this case the project-level values and the Current Track values are
mutually exclusive: the pattern 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.
♪: The Randomness and Probability parameters will act only upon drum tracks that already contain
active steps. They will not generate new steps within an empty drum track.
