 Save the sound as a snapshot to one of the step buttons.
 Change the sound of an instrument and save the settings to other step button
Warning: The parameters are not changed abruptly but are faded internally
instead, in order to avoid crackling. If two snapshots with extreme parameter
differences are too close together, the drum sounds will sound differently when
the pattern is played.
 Using the arrow keys, you can jump between the individual
snapshots during stopped playback.
 Press “on” to activate snapshot automation.
Groove Control
The secret behind “groove” beats lies in delay. That is, individual beats are
either anticipated or delayed according to patterns. For example house beats
use the “shuffle” whereby straight 1/16s are delayed at certain times.
In the Robota there are groove velocity and groove swing presets. Groove
velocity presets contain for each step of a beat a certain offset to increase or
reduce the original beat velocity. Groove swing presets contain for each step a
time alignment that is either anticipated or delayed. The result is a livelier-
sounding sequence. The strength of the effect can be adjusted with the %
regulator.
Setups, drum kits, presets, and patterns
A single instrument sound is saved
as a preset.
Presets containing all four
instruments are saved as drum kits.
All note information plus the
snapshots are saved as a pattern.
Together (drum kit + pattern) they are
know as a setup.
