FUNCTION OPTIONS DESCRIPTION
Total Pulses
—
1-1024
Init Preset...
Defines an overall length (in pulses) for the entire sequence. When this count is
reached, all tracks and MOD Lanes are reset regardless of the current position of
each track and MOD Lane's LEN setting.
The Total Pulses setting is saved with a preset, and is also used for Queued Loads
and Preset Chaining.
Setting the value to a dash means that no Total Pulses setting exists. All track and
MOD Lanes reset at their natural positions, and all will reset simultaneously only at
their lowest common denominator.
For example: Assume TRK 1's LEN screen has PULSES = 4; TRK 2's LEN screen
has PULSES = 6; and MOD Lane 1's LEN screen has PULSES = 8. With Total Pulses
= "—" (i.e. no length is defined), then it will take 24 bars before all three sequences
resync and reset simultaneously (TRK 1 plays 6 times; TRK 2 plays 4 times; and
MOD 1 plays 3 times before they resync).
Sets the length (in pulses) for the entire sequence. All track and MOD Lanes reset
after the selected number of pulses regardless of their programmed LEN.
For example: Assume the same LEN settings as above, but instead of setting Total
Pulses = "—", you set Total Pulses = 18. This forces all tracks/MOD Lanes to resync
after 18 pulses, no matter where each is in its own LEN cycle. So TRK 1 plays 4
1/2 times; TRK 2 plays 3 times; and MOD 1 plays 2 1/4 times).
With this function highlighted, click the encoder to load an initialized preset, which
restores all Track and Stage-level parameters back to their original settings —
giving you a clean slate with which to build a new sequence. This does not
overwrite your global SETUP parameters, so they will continue to function as
assigned. If you ever want to restore ALL settings back to their factory defaults, use
the Factory Reset option available from the
If desired, you can define your own Init Preset using the Set Init Preset
option, which is accessed by selecting the Presets Setup option in the SETUP
menu's ADVANCED section.
