About Players in Combinators
Players can also live inside Combinators, if there are instrument devices there. A Combinator device can also have
Players attached to it (outside of it).
Common Player device parameters
Fold, Bypass All, Direct Record and Send to Track
At the top of the Player device - or above the topmost Player device, if you are using several chained Players - are the
Fold, Bypass All, Direct Record and Send to Track buttons.
D Click the triangular Fold button to fold/unfold all Player devices attached to the Instrument device.
D Switch on Bypass All to send the MIDI from your MIDI Control Keyboard/On-screen Piano Keys straight to the
instrument device, bypassing any Player devices.
D Activate Direct Record to record the MIDI notes generated by the Player(s), instead of the notes you play from
your MIDI Control Keyboard.
Direct Record mode is for when you use Players as an input tool (record chords, etc) and for when you want to
capture your live tweaking (for example, play an arpeggiator and tweak the parameters in real time) and want to
get the generated notes recorded straight into the note clip.
If you play back already recorded notes from the sequencer track of the instrument, they are not affected/pro-
cessed by the Player (i.e they bypass the Player(s) and are sent directly to the instrument itself).
See “Recording modes” for more information.
D Click the Send to Track button to render the notes generated by the Player(s), based on the notes in the origi-
nal note clip(s) on the Instrument track in the sequencer.
The result is a new note clip on a new note lane, on the instrument's track. The original note clips on that track are
automatically cut at the Left and Right Locators. The original clip(s) between the Locators are muted. Also, the By-
pass All switch will automatically be turned on after the rendering is done.
! Only the section between the Left and Right Locators is rendered. If the Right Locator is to the left of the Left
Locator position, the function doesn't do anything (like with Redrum etc.).
q If you have recorded in Direct Record mode, or used the Send Notes to Track function, the rendered notes are
already in the note clip in the sequencer. If you don’t need the Player(s) anymore after this you can just delete
them to save some DSP load.
On button
D Click to activate or deactivate the Player.
When deactivated (off), the MIDI notes from your MIDI Control Keyboard bypass the Player.
Patch section
Here is where you can browse, load and save your Player patches. The functionality is exactly the same as for other
patch based devices, see “About patches”.
