 Create & Replace Some: Same as Create & Replace Randomly above, however it
creates less trigger events. How many events are created depends on the grid
resolution.
 Create & Replace Many: Same as Create & Replace Randomly above, however it
creates more trigger events, filling the sequencer with events.
Velocity/Gate Row
In this row, you set the length (gate time) and the velocity of the notes entered in the
trigger row. Both parameters are displayed as a single graphical bar. The bar’s height
represents the velocity, its length depicts the note length.
Click-dragging on the desired bar allows you to change the length and velocity values
for each step.
The gate time is divided into four equal sections, making it easy to set rhythmically
accurate note lengths. In order for the one shot envelope to react to gate time, it is
necessary to either; activate the Gate function in the sound itself (see “Trigger and
Group Menus” on page 371) or use envelopes in sustain mode (see “Sustain” on
page 380), in conjunction with rhythmically useful (short) decay times.
Reset
The Reset button located to the left of the velocity/gate row returns all velocity and
gate values to their default settings (default velocity setting: 75 percent; default gate
time: are all four sections are active).
Velocity/Gate Shortcut Menu
Control-clicking (or right-clicking) steps in the velocity/gate row opens a shortcut
menu which offers the following commands:
 Alter Vel(ocities): Randomly changes the velocity values of all steps while retaining
the selected beats (the trigger row remains unchanged).
 Alter Gate (Time): Randomly changes the note lengths of all steps while retaining the
selected beats (the trigger row remains unchanged).
 Randomize Vel(ocities): Same as Alter Velocities, but random parameter alteration is
more pronounced.
 Randomize Gate (Time): Same as Alter Gate, but random parameter alteration is more
pronounced.
