Lesson 4 Creating New Preset Patterns With Instadj Os - Cyclone Analogic Bass Bot Operation Manual

Lesson 4
Creating New Preset Patterns with Insta DJ OS 2.0
Creating new preset patterns is easy. Unlike normal instrument presets, the Bass Bot's presets are
generated on-demand. In this lesson you'll learn how to generate an entire pattern section of eight patterns
with a couple simple steps.
1. Keep the Mode Switch set to Preset Mode and the Track/Preset switch set to '1.'
2. Select pattern section (AA) by pressing the Pattern Section [A] button. The LED above the [A]
button will blink when you are in section (AA).
3. Select patterns {1- 8} by pressing [1] + [8]. All eight pattern LEDs should illuminate to show they
are selected.
4. Command the Bass Bot to generate new patterns here by pressing [FUNCTION] + [GEN].
5. While all eight patterns are still selected, press [RUN/STOP] to listen to all eight new patterns in
sequence. The Bass Bot generates compatible patterns when many are generated together.
Try the other personalities in Preset Modes 2- 7 to familiarize yourself with each of the styles of the InstaDJ
OS preset personalities. Each personality has a unique defining style and defined color coding.
The 7 Preset Personality Algorithms
Presets 1 and 2 produce 'fluid' styles as a lead instrument, usually with a 4/4 time signature (but not
always!).
Presets 3 and 4 produce 'glitched' styles as spontaneous riffs in a track, breaks or segue transitions as a
band background instrument, generally in 4/4 or 2/4 time.
Presets 5 and 6 produce 'chaotic' styles for creatively complex patterns as the lead instrument. Patterns
will primarily be quarter notes or triplets and the length of the patterns may vary from one to sixteen steps.
Preset 7 produces 'triplet' styles for accompaniment or as the lead instrument, usually consisting of twelve
triplet notes.
Tip!
Patterns may also be generated when in Pattern Write Mode, though it is best to perform this
function in Preset mode to avoid filling up pattern write memory area when auditioning presets!
This diagram demonstrates the distinct memory area types for use by the Bass Bot in relation to the user.
