Keyboard Track
0: Off 1: On
Allows the Drum Pattern to track the input notes if
desired, thereby changing keys depending on the
chord. 0: Off is normal for Drum Patterns while 1: On
is normal for Melodic Patterns.
0: Off
The Drum or Melodic Pattern is "fixed" - it doesn't
matter what notes you play on the keyboard. The
pattern will always produce the same pitches,
according to the settings of the Drum Sound/Note
settings. This is most typical for Drum Patterns.
1: On
The pitches of the notes generated "track" the lowest
key played on the keyboard (or other input device),
related to C2 (MIDI Note #36). This is most useful for
Melodic Patterns. In other words, when you play a C2,
the pattern will be produced using the Note Numbers
as specified by the Drum Sound/Note settings, and
any other applicable parameters. If you then play an
E2, the notes being generated will be transposed up by
4 steps. Assuming the Notes that are assigned are in
the key of C, this puts the resulting pattern in the Key
of E. This is often useful in conjunction with the "NTT
- Note Table Transposition" parameter, described next.
Note: The "Root Position" parameter (☞PG p.104) can
be used to cause different inversions of the same chord
to always transpose the notes as if the chord was
played in root position.
NTT On/Off (Note Table Transposition)
0: Off 1: On
Mainly for use with Melodic Patterns, this allows the
chords received to shift certain pitches in the Drum
Pattern to notes that fit the analyzed chord. Often used
in conjunction with Keyboard Track.
0: Off
The different chords played on the keyboard (or other
input device) have no effect on the pitches of the notes.
1: On
The Chord Analysis is performed on the input chord,
and certain pitches as they are generated may be
shifted to other notes to fit the chord. This is useful in
conjunction with the "Keyboard Track" parameter
described above. If you have created a Melodic pattern
that is being transposed, you can also have the tonality
of the pattern shift to match different chords as you
play them, similar to popular auto-accompaniment
keyboards. In other words, you can write a pattern that
plays a musical phrase in a major key, and have it
change to a minor key when you play minor chords,
automatically.
Note: The "Root Position" parameter (☞PG p.104) can
be used to cause different inversions of the same chord
to always transpose the notes as if the chord was
played in root position.
Link To Next
0: Off
The 3 Drum Patterns can be linked together to form
[0, 1]
longer Drum Patterns; in this case, they do not play
simultaneously, but "back-to-back." Drum Pattern 1
can be linked to Drum Pattern2. Drum Pattern 2 can be
linked to Drum Pattern 3. If both Drum Pattern 1 and 2
are linked, then all 3 are linked. This can be used to
create lengthy drum grooves or melodic phrases, have
drum kits change for parts of a phrase, have melodic
patterns change to using different pitches or octaves,
etc.
Notes Played = Rows
0: Off
1: On
The number of keys pressed on the keyboard
determines which rows of the 3 Drum Patterns are
played. If only one key is pressed, then only the notes
indicated by the first row of the Drum Pattern (lowest
row of the 7 rows specifying drum notes) are
generated. If 3 keys are pressed, then only the notes
specified by the lowest three rows are generated. This
can be used to simulate the Korg Triton Arpeggiator
setting "Fixed Tone Mode": Trigger As Played.

0...127: C–1...G9
Sets an overall range within which notes from all 3
Drum Patterns will be limited. Notes going beyond the
range will be transposed by however many octaves
[0, 1] necessary to keep them within the specified range. This
is mainly intended for use with melodic patterns that
are being transposed by using the Keyboard Track
feature.
Repeat On/Off Pattern
Allows an individual Drum Pattern to have its Melodic
Repeat settings in the Phase Pattern set to one of three
states:
0: Off
Melodic Repeat will be turned off in each step of the
Phase Pattern, for the specified Drum Pattern.
1: On
Melodic Repeat will be turned on in each step of the
Phase Pattern, for the specified Drum Pattern.
2: As Stored
Melodic Repeat will be set to the internally stored
settings of the GE, for each Phase Pattern Step. This
means that repeats can be on in some steps, and off in
others, such as just generating repeated notes in the
last bar of a four bar pattern.
Repeat On/Off Combs (Combinations)
Allows all three Drum Patterns to have their Melodic
Repeat settings in the Phase Pattern controlled at the
same time, in various combinations. This allows you to
use a single RT Control (such as a slider in the Real-
Drum Group Associated Parameters
