REGELWERK V1.2
−
The fader is effectively muted until an
incoming MIDI message is received which
matches the current position or the value
programmed (as part of the Threshold).
8.2.3.6 Overdub
•
This mode also has to be expressly enabled
in the Special Function mode.
•
When it has been enabled, all relevant
messages received at MIDI IN are merged
(wherever possible) and transmitted at the
selected MIDI OUT.
•
This applies as soon as the specified fader
generates the specified event. Before then,
MIDI IN messages aren't forwarded to the
MIDI OUT: only the messages generated by
the fader are transmitted.
8.2.4 Preset
•
A Preset consists of the positions for all 24
faders, button values & parameters, and all
relevant text and MIDI strings.
8.2.4.1 Presets / memories
−
REGELWERK has 64 non-volatile preset
memories.
8.3 Sequencer
⇒
The sequencer page is accessed by pressing
the
Sequ. Mode / Sequ. Param.
buttons.
The sequencer function is always available in
parallel to the fader page.
8.3.1 STEP
•
The smallest organisational unit in the
REGELWERK sequencer is called a step, and
defines a MIDI event.
8.3.2 Step event
−
In REGELWERK's case this is always a Note
Event.
−
A MIDI note event includes information about
pitch (note number) and loudness (velocity).
8.3.2.1 Step duration
•
As well as defining the order of the note
events, Steps are responsible for setting the
exact duration of a note. (N.B.: Note events
have two events within them – Note On, at
the start of the step, and Note Off, at the
end.)
8.3.2.2 Step status
•
Besides this, each MIDI note event has
another important criterion – maybe the most
important part of the REGELWERK
sequencer's appeal – namely whether a
programmed MIDI event is actually
transmitted or not.
−
For each step there's a dedicated LED
(labelled Sequencer Step), which indicates
whether the programmed event will be sent
(LED on) or not (LED off) when the sequence
reaches that step.
−
To enable instant muting and un-muting of
each step, there are dedicated buttons for
switching on and off the programmed event
for each of the 16 steps. These buttons
'toggle' between the two states, so that, for
instance, an enabled step (LED on) is
switched off by a button-push, and vice versa.
−
The Step LEDs have some other special
functions as well – principally showing which
step in turn in a sequence has been reached.
8.3.3 TRACK
•
In the next organisation level up, 16 Steps
together form a Track.
8.3.3.1 Global track parameters
−
A Track has a set of global parameters which
apply to all the steps within it. They are:-
−
MIDI channel,
−
base note number / velocity
−
Step Time / Gate Time
−
End Step.
All 16 steps in a track share the same common
parameters. It's not possible to change a
parameter for any individual step. On the other
hand, each track can have different global
parameters from any of the other tracks.
8.3.3.2 Track select buttons
•
Each track has its own Track Select button,
and associated LED. Pushing a button
instantly selects the chosen track, indicated
by the Select LED lighting up. All track
editing operations apply to the track whose
LED is on.
