ADD-one Manual
SECTION
6.6
The INPUT
Routing and
the
Rotate Mode
INPUT and SOUND routing are the real keys
to
some
of the
exceptional and
so far
unique possibilities offered by
the ADD-one.
Firstly, let
us
assign
to
input
2
all
instruments
of the
drumset
we put
together
in
Section
6,
i.e.
triggering
via input
2
causes
all
channels
(instruments)
to
sound uniformly, which
at
first sight may not appear
to
be of
much
use.
However, many interesting effects are produced once the
ROTATE mode
is
activated.
This necessitates pressing the ROUT key. EDIT ROUTING page
1.1
will
appear
on
which all instrument categories can
be
rechecked
and,
if
necessary, modified. After pressing
the
direction key
"»",
page 1.2 will
appear indicating the sound sample numbers
of the
individual instrument
categories. This page also provides
the
possibility
of
checking
and,
if
necessary, modification.
By
actuating
"»
"
again
we
move
to
page
1.3
where, by selecting INPUT
2
for all
CHANNELS,
we can
realise
the
wish
described above
to
simultaneously trigger
all channels. The
display
should indicate:
01
02
03
04
05
06
07
08
CHANNELS
22222222
INPUT
Before
we try out the
edit acoustically, first go
to the
next page with
"»"
where the parameter TRIGGER ROTATE
is
selected. This parameter
should initially
be set
to
OFF
for
all parameters.
Now
hit
pad
2
and the entire
percussion array will suddenly
sound.
Now
let us
activate
the
ROTATE
mode, i.e. on the
T.
ROTATE page
all
8
channels are switched
to ON.
Once this has been done, all channels which have been assigned
the same
input
(in
our
example
all
8
to
INPUT
2)
are
successively triggered,
i.e.
on the
first trigger pulse the channel with the lowest number
(in
this
case
No.
1),
then the channel with the next highest number
(in
this case
No.
2),
etc.
Now hit pad
2
a
couple
of
times
in
succession
or
even play
a
roll (from
very slow
to
very fast) and you will see
the effect speaks for itself. An
effect like this can
be
achieved neither with other electronic drums
nor
a
natural percussion instrument, rhythm machine
nor in
any other way.
The ROTATE capability, however,
is
not
limited
to
this effect alone,
which, from the aspect
of
natural percussion instruments, may perhaps
tend
to
appear rather more unnatural. The ROTATE mode
can also
contribute
a
lot
to
the
naturalness
of the
sound pattern
as
demonstrated by
our next
example "SNARE".
Now
set the
percussion program
in
such
a
way that input
2
initially only
triggers
on
channel
2;
the
snare sample selected
is
005,
duration
is
set
to +24.
