perfectly out of phase (180 degrees apart), so that when one reaches its peak, the other is at its
minimum. Phase is particularly effective for creating vibrato effects.
The Offset control shifts the start point of each LFO along its waveform.
The device’s influence on incoming signals is set with the Amount control.
22.4 Beat Repeat
The Beat Repeat Effect.
Beat Repeat allows for the creation of controlled or randomized repetitions of an incoming sig-
nal.
The Interval control defines how often Beat Repeat captures new material and begins repeating
it. Interval is synced to and set in terms of the song tempo, with values ranging from ”1/32” to ”4
Bars.” The Offset control shifts the point defined by Interval forward in time. If Interval is set to ”1
Bar,” for example, and Offset to ”8/16”, material will be captured for repetition once per bar on
the third beat (i.e., halfway, or eight-sixteenths of the way, through the bar).
You can add randomness to the process using the Chance control, which defines the likelihood
of repetitions actually taking place when Interval and Offset ”ask” for them. If Chance is set to
100 percent, repetitions will always take place at the given Interval/Offset time; if set to zero,
there will be no repetitions.
Gate defines the total length of all repetitions in sixteenth notes. If Gate is set to ”4/16”, the rep-
etitions will occur over the period of one beat, starting at the position defined by Interval and
Offset.
