Element Description
DYNAMIC (Knob 7) Amplifies or reduces the velocity derived from the pressure you apply
on each single pad you hold (Polyphonic Aftertouch). Available
values range from 1% to 200%. This setting applies globally to all
rate presets.
GATE (Knob 8) Adjusts the ratio between the duration of the notes and the duration
of the silences between them, measured as a percentage of the note
value set by RATE (see above). Available values range from 0% to
200%: At low values the notes are very short. At 50% notes and
silences are equal. At 100% (midcourse) each note last exactly until
the next note is triggered. At higher values notes overlap (provided
that the selected Sound is polyphonic). This setting applies globally
to all rate presets.
Arp mode seamlessly switches to Note Repeat mode as soon as you switch your pads
from Keyboard mode to Group mode (see above): All current values (including the LOCK
state) are retained.
5.5.5 Swing on Note Repeat / Arp Output
The Swing engines (at the Master, Group, and Sound level) process notes coming from the Pat-
tern Editor and from the Arp engine (pads in Keyboard mode) or Note Repeat engine (pads in
Group mode). In other terms, the swing is applied not only to your Patterns but also to any live
sequence generated by the Arp or Note Repeat engine.
The applied swing is not recorded in the Pattern Editor. For an overview of the signal
flow starting from your pads, have a look at the diagrams in section ↑5.5.1, Overview of
the Perform Features.
For example, when you play live beats on top of a running Pattern, you can use Note Repeat
without destroying the Pattern’s groove: the repeated notes will be processed using the same
swing parameters as the playing Pattern.
