0: Poly Extend
Each note will sustain until the next generation of the
same note, or until that note is no longer a part of the
Note Series (caused by playing a new chord, for
example). For example, if the notes to a CMaj chord are
sustaining and the chord is changed to a CMinor, only
the Es will be shut off.
1: Poly Extend/Damped
The same as above, except all sustaining notes will be
damped when the chord changes, not just notes that
are no longer in the Note Series.
2: Mono Extend
Each note is sustained until the next note (of any pitch)
is generated.
3: Timed (1…5000 ms)
Makes available the “Duration ms” parameter, where
you specify in milliseconds the duration of the
generated notes. All notes will therefore have the same
length. Note that this is independent of the current
tempo - if it is set to 50 ms, it will always be 50 ms,
regardless of tempo.
Not available if “Duration Control” is not set to 0:
GE.
Duration ms [1…5000 (ms)]
When the “Duration Mode” above is 3: Timed,
specifies in milliseconds the duration of the generated
notes. All notes will therefore have the same length.
Note that this is independent of the current tempo - if it
is set to 50ms, it will always be 50ms, regardless of
tempo.
Not available if “Duration Control” is not set to 0:
GE, or Mode is not set to 3: Timed.
Repeat Parameters
Melodic Rpt On/Off [0, 1]
Allows Melodic Repeat to be independently controlled
for Direct Indexing. When this is 1: On, the Direct
Index notes will have Melodic Repeat according to the
settings of the parameters in the Melodic Repeat
Group. This allows you to have a GE set up where the
normally generated effect has Melodic Repeat while
Direct Indexing does not, and vice versa, or other
variations.
Bend Parameters
This section controls automatic pitch bending effects
that may be applied to the Direct-Indexed notes. Most
of the following parameters have the same
functionality as those described in the Bend Group.
However, the bend specified here will only happen for
Direct Indexing notes. This means that a GE can have
one type of Auto Bend effect for notes that are being
generated, and a different Auto Bend effect for Direct
Index notes. Alternatively, Direct Indexing notes can
have bending while notes generated automatically by
the same GE do not, etc.
There are several differences between Direct Index
Auto Bend and Auto Bend for generated notes (set in
the Bend Group):
• It is not possible for the length of the bend to be set
to “Note Duration” since in most cases the duration
is not known ahead of time. Therefore, this option
is not available in the Bend Group “Length”
parameter.
• The Next and Prev Note bending options are
replaced with Next and Prev Index options. The
difference is that when notes are being generated, it
is possible to calculate ahead of time what will be
the next note. With Direct Indexing, it is impossible
to know what the next note is since you chose it
yourself. Therefore, when set to Next Index, it will
bend from the currently chosen index in the Note
Series to the next adjacent index in the Note series.
The same difference applies for Prev Index. These
differences are explained further below.
Bend On/Off [0, 1]
When set to 0: Off, Direct Index notes will have no
bending, but the GE can still generate Auto Bend
according to the Bend Group settings when triggered
normally. When set to 1: On, Direct Index notes will
have bending according to the parameters in this
Group - the settings in the Bend Group do not affect
them (other than Bend Range).
Bend Amount [–12…18]

–12…12: –12…+12 semitones
☞p.945 “Bend Group”: “Amount”.
13: Next Index
Bends each note to the next index in the Note Series
(note that this may be an up or down bend depending
on how the Note Series is constructed and sorted). For
example, if the Note Series contains {C, E, G, B, C…},
then when the E is Direct Indexed it will bend to the G.
