The Scale modes are set per track, and are listed below:
• --- - The notes are transposed the exact amount of notes specified
by the sum of the Track, Pattern, Song and Multi Trig transpose.
This is the normal mode. No Key value can be set.
• FIX - Only the Track transpose is used for transposing. No Key value
can be set.
• MAJ - The transposed notes are kept within the Major scale speci-
fied by the Key value.
• MIN - The transposed notes are kept within the Minor scale specified
by the Key value.
• It is useful to set Scale mode FIX for tracks playing percussive
sounds. If the track is transposed in Song or Multi Trig the percus-
sion will then keep its default sound while the melodies are trans-
posed.
SWING
Swing can be used for adding rhythmic “shuffle” swing, or other sub-step
rhythmic adjustments to a pattern. The Swing settings are saved as part of
the pattern.
The swing window is called by pressing [SWING] while holding [FUNC-
TION]. Select which track you want to edit the transpose settings for using
the [TRACK] keys.
The swing window is printed below:
The Swing Amount is printed is large figures in the middle of the window.
Use the LEVEL encoder to control the Swing Amount parameter. The Swing
Amount is set between 50% and 80%. 50% is the default value which
makes the pattern unaffected by Swing, and the maximal value is 80%. The
Swing amount parameter is common for all the tracks of the pattern.
Each track however have their own Swing Track. The <TRIG> LED’s indi-
cate which steps will be time-shifted by the Swing, and the [TRIG] keys are
used to switch their state. If your pattern is longer than 16 steps, use the
[SCALE] key to cycle between the pages.
THE SWING TRACK
As default, the swing is programmed to shift every second 1/16 note, start-
ing on step 2. This is how the swing pattern will be restored after a Pattern
Clear (see section “FULL PATTERN COPY” on page 54) and Swing clear
operation. This swing pattern setup gives the traditional “shuffle”-style swing
