SPECTRALIS 2
The value of the third encoder under the display – the velocity– is always in
effect until the next value change for all Step-Inputs following the most recent
change. If you want to change the velocity value for an already existing Step,
simply enter the desired value and push the corresponding position in the matrix
once more. If you want to erase a step, you can also just push the numeric
button once more. If there is no new velocity value entered when you are
pushing the button, the step will automatically erased.
On the second page of the "Beat-Matrix"-editor you can determine the resolution of
the "Beat-Matrix"-grid, the bar length, the number of bars in the new motif and
the pitch of the corresponding note. Push the [Page-Up]-button, to access this menu
page.
2/2:Resol BarLen Num X XX| 1- 1
Reso:16th Len: 8/8 NumBar: 4 Pitch:C3
Reso: Allows you to adjust the resolution of the grid from between 192th notes
and 12 full notes.
Len: Enter the bar length of the motif. You can set the bar length anywhere from
1/8 to 10/8.
NumBar:The number of bars can be set between one and sixteen bars.
Pitch: Adjust at which pitch the sample will be triggered.
Now you know pretty much everything there is to know about the beat-matrix at
this time. The whole thing is very easy to program, yet it still offers different motif-
length, bar-length and so on.
TIP: If you are not happy with the result of the velocity control, it could
be the result of you not having activated velocity control for your selected
sound, or you may have it set to a very low value. Access the corresponding
part using the [Select]-button and turn the (VCA-Level)-encoder, while
holding down the [Shift]-button. Setting a value of 127 will give you the
highest possible dynamic range.
TIP: You have direct access to the different drum matrix resolutions by
holding down Groove-Edit->[Step/Accent] and pushing [num]-buttons 10-
13 for resolutions 12th, 16th, 24th and 32th.
