SPECTRALIS 2

Swing and Shuffle quantize

3.9.11 Swing feeling and shuffle quantisation

The Spectralis sports a Shuffle function that allows for bringing some nice

groove feeling into your tracks. The Shuffle function can be assigned to 8th,

12th, 16th, 24th and 32th notes. The shuffle function always delays the second

and the fourth note of a 4 note group by an selectable amount between one and

nine 192th notes.

The Shuffle Function can be enabled for different tracks independently and

you can assign the groove quantize function to step sequencer lines as well.

Please select a pattern and start the sequencer. We will check the Groove

Quantize function now. Push the [FUNCTION] button in the „Groove Edit“

section of the frontpanel. The following edit menu will appear:

S01:Bass2Ass PA01:BasicBass Groove

MODE:SONG Reso:32th +9/192

[MODE] - selects, whether you want to change the groove setting for

the whole song or for the selected pattern only. The setting „Songs“ allows

to change the groove settings for all patterns at once very quickly. The

Mode parameter will be stored in the pattern memory. If set to "pattern",

the swing parameters get stored in the pattern as well. Patterns, where

the mode parameter is set to "song" follow the swing parameters you

have set in "song" mode.

[RESO] - select the notevalue for the shuffle effect. Most patterns in the

Spectralis factory set work fine with a resolution setting of 16th notes.

[+9/192] here you can set the delay for the second and fourth step in

192th notes. +0/192 is the straight setting without any shuffle FX. +9/

192 is the max setting.

The settings will not become audible until you activate the shuffle effect

for at least one part. That is quite easy. Just push the [NUM]-buttons 1-

15 for the parts you want to get shuffled.

Shuffle quantize is even available for sequencerlines. Just press Sequence-

Edit->[FUNCTION] to open the step-sequencer edit menu:

1/8:Fnc TrigMod->FBV LP Stp:01-16

Seq:L01 Typ:Decay Len:4th Depth:63

Press the [PAGE-UP]-button multiple times until you reach menu page 8/8:

Seq:L01 Groove:OFF

Seq:L01 - choose the sequence line you want apply the shuffle function

to.

Groove:OFF - The fourth encoder activates the shuffle quantize function

for the selected sequence line.
