NOTE
Note Repeat variation trigger notes have a higher priority than normal instrument notes,
which means that if they share the same key, you cannot play the instrument on that key.
3. Activate the rst variation button.
4. Specify the trigger note in the eld below the button.
The corresponding instrument pad displays a repeat icon.
5. Activate the phrase player by clicking the Phrase On/Off button.
6. Set up the steps for the phrase or select a phrase from the Phrase pop-up menu.
7. On the MIDI keyboard, play the trigger key for the instrument pad, and then play the trigger
key that you
specied for the note repeat phrase.
RESULT
The phrase is repeated for as long as you keep the keys pressed.
Creating and Using Note Repeat Variations
You can set up eight different Note Repeat variations using the variation buttons and switch
between them to bring more variation to your Note Repeat performance.
Variations can trigger both Note Repeat notes and Note Repeat phrases. For example, you can
set up repeats with different note values, and then switch between them in real time, or switch
between phrases of different complexities.
If a pattern pad and a note repeat variation share the same trigger note, the pattern pad gets
priority.
You can copy and paste variation settings between buttons using the commands on the variation
button context menu.
Triggering Variations Using MIDI Controllers
If you trigger the variations using MIDI controllers, a variation is activated as soon as the
controller value exceeds 64. The last controller value higher than 64 decides which variation to
play.
It is recommended to use On/Off buttons or push buttons rather than faders or encoders to
control the variation selection. Set the buttons up so that they send a value of 127 when you
press the button, and a value of 0 when you release it.
The use of faders or encoder controls is not recommended for the triggering of variations,
because they do not offer the required amount of control.
