• Gate Add: In Gate Add mode, a single Gate Add step modulator with a Depth value
of 0% results in silence, and a Depth value of 100% sounds identical to Gate Mix.
As you increase the Depth value, the amplitude of existing steps increases. Negative
Depth values invert step values. When multiple Gate modulators are used, the Gate
Add value is added to existing Gate values. For example, a Gate Add Depth value of
+10 changes a step value of 50 to 60.
• Preset pop-up menu: Choose a menu item to save or load your own modulation pattern
or to load a factory modulation pattern.
• Save As: Opens a name field. Enter a name, then click the Save button to save your
modulation pattern. Click Cancel to stop the save operation and to exit the Save
name field.
User patterns are shown at the bottom of the Preset pop-up menu.
• Recall Default: Initializes all steps and the envelope in the current user pattern to
default (null) values.
• Copy/Paste: Store the current modulation pattern in the Clipboard. Paste applies the
modulation pattern currently found on the Clipboard.
• Delete User Preset: Deletes the current user pattern.
• Custom: This menu item is shown automatically when any pattern changes have
been made. It can be considered the “current state” pattern preset.
• Previous/Next buttons: Click the left or right arrow to choose the previous/next
modulation pattern preset.
• Action pop-up menu: Choose a modulation pattern handling menu item. These include
randomize, shift, reverse, and other functions.
• Random Full: Apply full-range random offsets to modulation pattern step values.
Use this command to create truly random modulation patterns.
• Random Deviation: Apply limited-range random offsets to modulation pattern step
values. Use this command to create slight variations of existing step values.
• Shift Left/Right: Move all modulation pattern steps one position (a step) to the left
or right. Steps at the first and last position “wrap around,” so step 16 would become
step 1 if you used the Shift Right command on a 16-step modulation pattern.
• Double Note Length: Doubles the length of all steps. Full-length steps are tied to the
next step. Steps of 25% length become 50% length steps, 50% length steps become
100% length steps, and so on.
• Reverse: Reverse the position of all steps. Step 1 becomes step 16, step 2 becomes
step 15, step 3 becomes step 14, and so on in a 16-step modulation pattern.
• Invert: Invert the level of all steps. A step with a level of 40% becomes a step with a
level of 60%, a step with a level of 10% becomes a step with a level of 90%, a step
with a level of 0% becomes a step with a level of 100%, and so on.
• Append Duplicate: Duplicate all active steps and copy them to the step immediately
following the last step. For example, steps 1 to 10 would be copied to create a 20-
step modulation pattern.
• Append Reverse Duplicate: Duplicate all active steps, reverse their order, then copy
them to the step immediately following the last step. For example, steps 1 to 4 with
values of 15, 20, 30, and 70 would be copied to create an 8-step modulation pattern
with values of 15, 20, 30, 70, 70, 30, 20, and 15.
