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.
