SPECTRALIS 2

External sync and metronome

Len: Measure format and resulting length of bar.

Here you can dial the desired measure format.

Bar: Number of bars.

Here you can define the length of the pattern in bars.

Please don't forget to save your pattern after changing the the length and measure

format. Otherwise these settings will get lost by jumping back to the song-

chain editor. (Shortcut: Just press [Save]->[Pattern]->[Current])

Deleting and Inserting of songsteps

Adding and deleting songsteps is a very important feature. Just imagine adding

a Break beween two songsteps without the opportunity to insert a step - that

would mean to edit all songsteps behind that position and adding a songstep at

the end of the song-chain.

The second edit page of the songstep editor offers the insert and delete songstep

function.

2/2: Ambient Step: 8 of 8

[Insert] <insBLCK> <cpyBLCK> [delSTEP]

Both functions always are acting at the current songstep. [Delete] deletes the

current songstep and [Insert] inserts a songstep behind the current songstep.

In a future version, we will allow to specify blocks of multiple songsteps to be

copied and inserted at any desired position within the song-chain.

3.11 External synchronisation and metronome Settings

3.11.1 External synchronisation

The Spectralis can be synchronised to external MIDI gear capable of sending

MIDI Realtime messages. Please press and hold the [Shift]-button and push

the [Tempo/Shuttle]-rotary encoder button to open the following display menu:

1/2 Metronome | Sync-Settings

Count:4 Rslt:4th Sync:OFF Play:YES

If [Sync] is set to "IN" the Spectralis will start and stop when MIDI Start/Stop

Messages were received and will sync to external clock. The transport bar of

the spectralis will still start and stop the sequencer with it's internal clock. If

set to "OUT" the Spectralis will send MIDI clock to other MIDI devices.

If [Play] is set to "YES", a pattern selection will automaticly start the Spectralis

sequencer. That feature can be disabled in order to select a pattern without

starting the sequencer. Especially if synchronised to external equipment,

disabling the pattern "Autoplay" feature is very essential.

3.11.2 Metronome settings

The Spectralis comes with a built in metronome. The metronome becomes

audible in realtime recording and tapping mode.

At the first menu page (see above), you can select the measure format of the

metronome.
