4. Press [RUN/STOP]. You should now hear the selected pattern playing, but you'll notice that it's
playing only a single note instead of its normal set of notes. That's because only one note is
currently active. Press other notes and you'll hear the arpeggiator cycle through the selected notes
while keeping the underlying qualities of the selected pattern.
5. Change the note order of the arpeggiator. Press [WRITE/NEXT] to cycle through the four note
orders. The Up and Down LEDs will illuminate to show the note order while pressing the
Write/Next button. See the guide below:
6. While the pattern is playing, and while Pitch Mode is still active, you can use the
Up/Down/Accent/Slide buttons to temporarily alter the characteristics of the notes.
While the arpeggiator is running, press [PITCH MODE] to toggle between the pattern selection function
and the active note selection function. The arpeggiator display defaults to the pattern selection function
when the arpeggiator is stopped. It defaults to the active note selection function when the arpeggiator
begins running.
Tip! You can also control the arpeggiator from an external MIDI controller.
Lesson 12
MIDI Functions
This lesson will familiarize you with the Bass Bot's MIDI capabilities.
External Control of the Bass Bot
The Bass Bot can be controlled by an external MIDI controller or sequencer. Simply connect the MIDI OUT
from another device to the Sync/MIDI jack on the back of the Bass Bot. Switch the Mode selector switch to
the MIDI setting.
•
The Bass Bot responds to MIDI Note On commands, assuming the note's pitch is within the Bass
Bot's range.
•
MIDI notes with a velocity value above 112 are considered to be accented notes.
•
MIDI notes that overlap (a second note begins before the first note ends) are considered to be tied
together, and the result will be similar to a note that has the slide modifier applied.
Tip! In MIDI mode, you can also 'play' the Bass Bot using the keyboard and DUAS keys.
Synchronization to an External MIDI Clock
The Bass Bot will automatically sync its sequencer to a MIDI clock received from an external MIDI source,
such as the Drum Drone TT-606 or a computer. The Bass Bot will be under the control of the external
device when it detects an incoming MIDI clock. It will respond to external start commands, stop commands,
continue messages, and clock information.
