SPECTRALIS 2

Randomize Pattern

3.9.12 Randomize Pattern

You already learned about the Spectralis 2 ability to load motifs or complete

drumgrooves from any song into the currentsong, you are working on.

Sometimes you would like to get some new ideas by selecting these motifs just

by accident. You press [Kick] and the Spectralis 2 suggests a kick motif. If you

don't like it you can just hit the buttom again and a new suggestion becomes

audible. The Spectralis 2 has this functionality for all parts. You can even

randomize multiple tracks at once with this function.

Before trying this function please select an empty song. If you still have the

factory set loaded select any of the songs 27-31. After loading the song choose

the pattern mode by pressing [PATTERN] in the num button assignment section

and press select in the part menu.

Now press [Randomize] in the creativator section. The following menu opens:

S27 PA01 Randomize Menu

[SOUND] [PATTERN]

Select [PATTERN] in this menu. If you press that button for the first time after

booting the Spectralis 2, the firmware starts enumerating available motifs. That

takes some seconds but is important to avoid selections of empty motifs. After

the enumeration the display should look like that:

S27 PA01 Randomize Pattern

RND:[ALL] Snd:CUR Song:ALL Grp:[DRMS]

RND:[ALL]

By pushing the encoder button, the Spectralis 2 randomizes the whole

pattern, if the parameter is set to ALL. This randomize function mostly

creates something not really usable. For that reason you have multiple

choices for this randomisation.

"ALL" - selects a new motif by random for all parts.

"DRM"- randomizes the drumparts only

"TON" - randomizes tonal parts (Hybrid Synth and DSP parts only)

"DSP" - randomizes the polyphonic parts 13-15 only.

Beside these randomize functions you can also randomize one or more

part by pushing any of the number buttons. Pushing the kick drum button,

makes a kick suggestion, pressing the DSP synth part 1, chooses any of

the DSP synth motifs etc. If you like a selected motif just go for the next

part.

Snd:CUR

Setting "CUR" (current) Selects a new motif but keeps the current sound.

Setting "ORI" selects the motif and loads the original sound for this motif.

Make sure to set this parameter to "ORI" in case you started with an

empty song. Otherweise the Spectralis loads no sound into the DSP part.
