Automation
Every parameter for a drum sound, including effects, can be
automated, i.e. can change during a pattern. For example, you can
make your snare drums more lively by adding higher voices to loud
hits or by setting accents on individual hits with reverb effects.
The synthesizer section below enables the selection of
a parameter for automation via the small blue LEDs
above a parameter controller.
More about the parameter controllers in the Synthesizer
section.
Reset: Sets all automation values for the selected parameter. 0.
Mode switcher: Switches the section between velocity control
(see page 245) and automation switched. This happens
automatically during selection of parameters.
Random: The random parameter adds random variations to the
set automation. This helps make your beats sound more natural
because each programmed hit will sound slightly different. The
level of the random parameter is also influenced by the amount
controller (see below), i.e. if the amount is at "0", then the
randomness will have no effect.
Amount: The amount parameter regulates the complete
influence of the automation values and of the random factor on
the selected parameter. An amount of "0" does not have any
effect at all on the automation; maximum level has the greatest
effect. The effects of the amount controller on the automation
values is made visible by a slightly lighter line in the value
columns.
